The company, owned by LVMH, plans to open new stores in states like North Georgia, Houston, San Marcon, Camarillo, and Seattle.

 

 

 

 

The company was founded in 1984 by the American designer Marc Jacobs and it has 280 stores around the world, about 1,300 employees and is presentin 60 countries. LVMH, the luxury holding owner of brands like Louis Vuitton, Dior or Celine, amongst others, acquired the company in 1997.

 

Marc Jacobs is on a path to rebirth. It opened the first store of its diffusion line at the end of last year in Paris, making it the brand’s third store counting the ones situated in New York and Los Angeles. Marc Jacobs is led by Eric Marechalle, former Kenzo executive, since 2017
