Capri Holdings Announces That Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors Will Donate Product to Victims of the Ukraine War

Capri Holdings Limited (NYSE:CPRI), a global fashion luxury group, today announced that it will be donating over €1 million in essential clothing (coats, sweaters and shoes) from Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors through the company’s distribution center located in Venlo, Netherlands, to aid those displaced by the ongoing war in Ukraine.

To execute this initiative, Capri Holdings is utilizing the collection points created by Venlo Helps Ukraine, a local initiative created to organize the collection of clothing, medical goods, non-perishable food and other essential items for distribution within Poland and the Ukraine border.

After being transported to Warsaw at no cost by Rutilli, a transportation and logistics company that has joined the cause, the donated products will be distributed through A Shop Without Cash Registers, an organization located in Brwinów, Poland. The organization has set up a location in donated space at the Galeria Brwinów Shopping Center, where the products and clothing are displayed in a store-like environment, making it more convenient for refugees to find the items they need.

About A Shop Without Cash Registers

Providing clothing and goods for free to those seeking refuge from Ukraine, A Shop Without Cash Registers was founded by two women from their own homes in Poland who wanted to find their own way to support those in need. As the operation grew, the Galeria Brwinów Shopping Center provided the initiative with space rent-free to continue their work organizing the products and placing them on hangers to provide a more comfortable and convenient way for the refugees to find the items they most needed. The organization has since expanded to a second location that is geared towards legal aid, providing help with applying for insurance, temporary job services, childcare and more.
