Tapestry, the owner of Coach, said it would abandon its $8.5 billion deal to buy Capri, the parent company of Michael Kors, after the Federal Trade Commission successfully sued to stop the transaction.

For Tapestry, which gets 76% of its revenue from Coach, a mature brand, the goal of the merger was to find new sources of growth. For Capri, Tapestry's strong data, marketing and real estate capabilities, would have potentially helped Michael Kors, Versace and Jimmy Choo end their long-time slumps.

Capri Holdings Ltd and Tapestry Inc. scrapped their $8.5 billion plan to merge after a court order froze the proposed combination of the US fashion companies due to antitrust regulators’ objections.Tapestry,
