WHP Global is an American brand management company that buys trademarks and licenses them to operators. An affiliate holds 50 per cent of MJ Topco, the joint venture that has owned the Marc Jacobs intellectual property since 1 September 2026, alongside G-III Apparel Group.
LVMH sold Marc Jacobs, which it had controlled since acquiring a majority stake in 1997, to G-III Apparel Group and WHP Global. The purchase split the house in two: the intellectual property went into MJ Topco, LLC, owned 50 per cent by a G-III affiliate and 50 per cent by a WHP Global affiliate, while G-III took the operating business and an exclusive licence from the joint venture to run Marc Jacobs shops and e-commerce, running to December 2041 with ten five-year renewals. No price for the whole transaction appears in the filings.
