Tapestry, the parent company of Coach and Kate Spade, is refining its corporate strategy by focusing on unique ownership value rather than just scale.

This strategic focus also underpins their continued investment in Kate Spade, despite its ongoing turnaround, due to Tapestry's deep experience in the leather goods market. AI
