Marc Jacobs

Marc Jacobs founded the label in New York in 1984 with business partner Robert Duffy, building it on ready-to-wear, footwear, beauty and accessories. Its commercial core is leather goods, led by The Tote Bag and Snapshot camera bag, alongside logo sweats and the youth-priced Heaven by Marc Jacobs line. Runway collections are staged as short, theatrical New York shows with exaggerated proportions and doll-like styling. LVMH, majority owner since 1997, sold the brand to a 50/50 joint venture of brand-management firm WHP Global and G-III Apparel; the deal closed on 1 September 2026, G-III runs wholesale, retail and e-commerce, and Marc Jacobs stays on as creative director.
