Designer Michael Kors established his namesake company in New York City in 1981. Capri Holdings describes the brand as an American fashion-luxury lifestyle house built around modern glamour, American sportswear and travel. The business has expanded from its early ready-to-wear roots into a global accessories, apparel and footwear operation distributed through company stores, e-commerce, department stores, specialty retailers and selected licensing partners.
The Michael Kors name appears across several product lines and price positions, including Michael Kors Collection and the broader MICHAEL Michael Kors business, with products such as handbags, small leather goods, footwear, apparel and accessories. Watches, fragrance and some other categories involve licensing arrangements, so warranty or repair handling can differ from a handbag or apparel purchase made directly through MichaelKors.com.
Michael Kors is part of Capri Holdings Limited. Capri’s current investor materials identify Michael Kors and Jimmy Choo as its principal luxury brands and state that Michael Kors has distribution in more than 100 countries through a mix of direct and partner channels. This group relationship is relevant when reading older profiles because the corporate parent formerly used the Michael Kors Holdings name before becoming Capri Holdings.
U.S. customer service is available through chat, a contact form and phone at 1-866-709-KORS (1-866-709-5677). The current U.S. FAQ also publishes customerservice@michaelkors.com for order and product issues. Warranty routes can be product-specific, especially for watches, so customers should use the relevant warranty page rather than assuming the general fashion return policy applies to every licensed item.
Michael Kors maintains official social identities including @MichaelKors on Instagram and TikTok, with long-standing official Facebook, X and Pinterest accounts also associated with the brand.
