About Jimmy Choo
Jimmy Choo was founded in London in 1996 by a Malaysian shoemaker and a British magazine editor, and became known for high-heeled shoes worn on red carpets. Capri acquired the company in 2017 for about £896 million. The founding shoemaker sold his stake in 2001 and returned to bespoke work, so his name outlived his involvement.

Capri Holdings is a publicly listed company headquartered in London, United Kingdom, founded in 1981. Brandtree records 3 brands under its control, and it is listed as NYSE: CPRI.
Capri Holdings was created in 2018 when Michael Kors renamed itself after buying Jimmy Choo and Versace, intending to build an American luxury group. Tapestry agreed to acquire it in 2023, but a United States court blocked the deal in 2024 on competition grounds, so it remains independent.
