LVMH Sells Marc Jacobs To WHP Global, Ending A 30-Year Luxury Run

LVMH Sells Marc Jacobs To WHP Global, Ending A 30-Year Luxury Run

LVMH is offloading Marc Jacobs to WHP Global, wrapping up almost thirty years with the brand and paving the way for joint control alongside G-III Apparel Group. Marc Jacobs stays on as founder and creative director post-deal, according to both companies. Timing’s crucial here. LVMH is cutting back with luxury demand wobbling and its Fashion & Leather Goods segment posting a 2% organic drop in Q1. Yet, group revenue still came in at €19.1 billion, eking out 1% organic growth.

  • Crude Oil Prices Drop Sharply as Persian Gulf Supply Recovers and OPEC Tensions Rise
    June 29, 2026, 1:01 PM EDT. Crude oil prices fell sharply on Friday, with August WTI crude down 3.74% to a four-month low amid accelerated tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz boosting global supply. Persian Gulf crude exports climbed to at least 75% of pre-war levels, adding pressure on prices. Saudi Arabia's move to resume exports from Ras Tanura and Iraq's threat to quit OPEC over output quotas also weighed on the market. The International Energy Agency cut demand forecasts, while Goldman Sachs lowered Brent crude price outlook for Q4 to $80 a barrel. U.S. crude production estimates were raised by the Department of Energy. Offsetting some downside, Ukrainian drone attacks have disrupted Russian oil infrastructure, limiting Russian crude-processing rates to a 20-year low.
