Yes — Capri Holdings Limited has documented support for Israel on record. Every claim below links to its source.
Filed under: Fashion & apparel brands · Companies that support Israel
Background
Capri Holdings' documented actions are limited: an undisclosed October 2023 donation through the Capri Holdings Foundation to the ICRC for those affected by the conflict in both Israel and Gaza (personally matched by designer Michael Kors), and Michael Kors retail stores operating in Israel per the brand's official store locator. BDS-aligned social posts also claim Versace and Jimmy Choo products are sold in Israel through local retailers, but only aggregator sources support those claims. The company's registered US foundation (the Capri Holdings Foundation for the Advancement of Diversity in Fashion) shows no Israel-linked grantees, and Capri has no US political action committee. A viral claim that a Capri 'pro-Israel donation receipt' was debunked by Snopes could not be verified — no such fact-check exists.

Timeline of documented support
Documented support
| Type | Date | Amount | Recipient | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Donation | 2023-10 | — | International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) After the October 2023 attacks, Capri Holdings — whose spokesperson said the company was "deeply saddened by the recent attacks in Israel" — donated an undisclosed amount through its foundation to the International Committee of the Red Cross in support of those affected by the conflict in Israel and Gaza. Designer Michael Kors announced he would personally match the Capri Holdings donation. This was a both-sides humanitarian donation covering Israel and Gaza, made by the foundation and the designer personally, not an Israel-only corporate gift; no amount was disclosed. | |
| Operations in Israel | 2026-05-20 | — | Michael Kors stores in Israel Michael Kors-branded stores operate in Israel and are listed on the brand's official store locator, including the Ramat Aviv Mall flagship in Tel Aviv, a Ben Gurion Airport location, and the Golden Mall in Rishon LeZion. In May 2026 the Jerusalem Post reported the Ramat Aviv flagship reopened after a renovation of roughly NIS 2 million to the brand's international design standards. Whether these stores are company-operated or run by a local licensee/distributor is not disclosed in Capri's SEC filings, which mention Israel only in conflict-minerals exhibits. |
