Coach Buys Stuart Weitzman for $574M: My Thoughts

This was announced earlier this week, but I guess that’s what you have to do when you want to be more relevant.  I mean, I haven’t bought anything from Coach in probably a year or more.  I don’t dislike the brand, and I admit that I’ve wandered into boutiques just to look.  It’s just that […]

The floor plan that was originally posted in this article was not supposed to be public and has since been removed.  However, the Ann Taylor/Kate Spade speculation is still on my books, especially after Kate Spade sponsored a TIFF […]
