Brand News: Michael Kors to buy Jimmy CHoo for $1.2Billion?



According to Business Insiders,  the US retailer Michael Kors has  agreed to buy the luxury shoemaker  Jimmy Choo for $1.2 billion, snapping up a British brand launched in the east end of London and made famous by celebrity fans including Princess Diana.
Founded in the 1990s by the bespoke shoemaker Jimmy Choo, the brand  known for its stiletto heals and accessories and sells in cities including London, Paris, New York, and Tokyo.
It put itself up for sale in April after its majority owner, JAB, signaled its intention to focus on consumer goods. At 230 pence in cash per share, the group is receiving a premium of 36.5% to its share price before the sale process was announced.

Michael Kors, once the hottest name in affordable luxury with a hugely popular handbag range, has been struggling in recent quarters with declining same-store sales as fewer people visit its shops.
In response, it has expanded into dresses and menswear, and invested in its online business. It said Jimmy Choo would continue to operate as it does today, under its existing management team.
Jimmy Choo floated on the London Stock Exchange at 140 pence in 2014. It closed on Monday at 195 pence.
