In the third quarter of fiscal 2026, Tapestry delivered 23% growth in its direct-to-consumer business, including an approximately 25% increase in digital sales. Management noted that both online and physical stores generated strong and rising profitability, highlighting the effectiveness of its omnichannel strategy.

The company’s digital ecosystem is closely tied to its consumer-focused operating model. During the quarter, Tapestry acquired more than 2.4 million customers globally, with Gen Z remaining a key contributor to growth. Through data-driven consumer insights, targeted digital marketing and personalized engagement, the company has strengthened customer retention and repeat purchasing behavior.

Coach continued to lead digital momentum, adding approximately 2 million customers during the quarter. The brand increased marketing investments by about 50% year over year, with a greater focus on digital brand-building initiatives.

Digital strength was particularly evident in Greater China, where revenues soared 55% year over year. Management highlighted that growth was led by digital channels, supported by creative campaigns, localized activations and focused investments aimed at younger consumers. The company’s partnership with streetwear brand CLOT and immersive consumer experiences further boosted engagement and customer acquisition.
