Esprit Holdings

Esprit Holdings Limited (Chinese: 思捷環球控股有限公司) is a global publicly traded retail company incorporated in Bermuda,[1] with headquarters in North Point, Hong Kong, and further major locations in Ratingen, Germany; Amsterdam, Netherlands; and New York City.

[10][11] Sottsass was also commissioned to build Esprit’s European headquarters in Düsseldorf, Germany, as well as set the visual direction for the brand’s retail stores.

[14][15] With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Esprit gradually closed all stores in China, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Macau.

[21][20] In 2023—and following the brand’s reintroduction to NYC with a short-term pop-up on Prince St. — Esprit unveiled an experiential store space on Greene St. in Soho.

[22] As part of the brand’s new creative focus and direction, it launched a series of high-profile campaigns by photographer Richard Phibbs.

[23] In April 2024, the Belgian franchise of Esprit filed for bankruptcy,[24] with the expected closure of its 15 self-operated stores and 148 job losses.
