Coach’s Enduring Brand Value Provides Tapestry With Competitive Edge in Affordable Luxury
Business Strategy and Outlook
We believe Tapestry has a narrow moat based on the brand strength and pricing power of Coach (80% of fiscal 2025 revenue). After some lean years, the firm has turned Coach around through store closures, restrictions on markdowns, and increased e-commerce. The brand is a leader in the attractive handbag category and consistently generates gross margins above 75%. Further, we expect growth in complementary categories like footwear and fashion. Coach’s sales and profitability have risen lately as the brand has gained a strong following among younger consumers.
