History of Tapestry, Inc.

Tapestry, Inc. was founded in 1941 by Miles and Lillian Cahn as Coach, a leather goods company specializing in handcrafted handbags. The company began as a small family business in New York, creating high-quality leather accessories. Coach developed a reputation for durability, functionality, and timeless design, establishing itself as a premium American leather goods brand.

Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Coach expanded its product range and retail presence while maintaining its commitment to quality craftsmanship. The company went public in 2000, establishing itself as a major player in the luxury accessories market. Coach's accessible luxury positioning and strong brand recognition made it one of the most successful American fashion brands.

In 2017, Coach acquired Kate Spade for approximately $2.4 billion, significantly expanding its brand portfolio. The company subsequently renamed itself Tapestry, Inc. to reflect its evolution into a multi-brand luxury conglomerate. Tapestry continued strategic acquisitions, adding Stuart Weitzman and other brands to its portfolio. By the 2020s, Tapestry had established itself as one of the world's largest luxury fashion holding companies with a diversified brand portfolio serving different market segments and customer demographics.
