Filed under: Fashion & apparel brands · Companies that support Israel
Background
PVH Corp., the New York owner of Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, has commercial ties to Israel through local franchisees and licensing rather than company-run operations: its Israeli stores have always been operated by franchise holders (the Sakal Group, then the Irani family's Factory 54 group since 2013), and Israeli manufacturer Delta Galil holds a Calvin Klein kids' underwear license. After October 7, 2023, The PVH Foundation gave to humanitarian organizations on both sides — Magen David Adom in Israel and the Palestinian Red Crescent — alongside the International Committee of the Red Cross, and the company matched employee relief donations 2:1. Mentions of Israel in PVH's recent SEC filings are risk-factor and regional-impact boilerplate. No PVH corporate PAC was found.

| Operations in Israel | 2014-03-20 | — | Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein stores in Israel (operated by local franchisees) PVH's brands are sold in Israel through local franchisees, not company-run stores. The Sakal Group operated Tommy Hilfiger stores until 2013, when PVH transferred the Israeli franchise rights to the Irani family (owners of Factory 54), who also took the Calvin Klein retail rights. On March 20, 2014 Tommy Hilfiger opened its first Israeli anchor store in Tel Aviv, announced by PVH's own press office. Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger franchise stores continue to operate across Israel, with a regional sales presence in Tel Aviv. | |
| Partnership | 2017-04 | — | Delta Galil Industries Ltd. (Israeli apparel manufacturer) PVH's Calvin Klein signed a long-term licensing agreement with Delta Galil Industries, the Israeli apparel manufacturer, announced in April 2017. Under the initial five-year deal starting January 1, 2018, Delta Galil develops, produces and distributes Calvin Klein boys' and girls' underwear, sleepwear and socks, with exclusive wholesale rights in US and Canadian department and specialty stores. The agreement is a commercial license between PVH and an Israeli company. |
