US-based Tatcha enters Spanish market via Sephora
The products from the San Francisco-based brand will be available from August 22 in the Sephora app in Spain and from August 25 in the e-commerce and physical stores of the beauty retailer, owned by luxury giant, LVMH.
Vicky Tsai founded Tatcha in San Francisco in. 2009. A year earlier, Tsai traveled to Kyoto and discovered classic Japanese beauty rituals, from which her brand's items take their essence. Her formulas are developed at the Tatcha Institute in Japan under the principles of using Japanese ingredients, scientific efficacy "aligned with the biology of the skin," as the firm details, and "sensorial" textures.
Today, the cosmetics brand's products are sold in countries around the world through a selection of distributors. Some, such as its rice scrub, are real bestsellers that also benefit from viral reviews on social networks such as TikTok.
Sephora will be the one to start marketing Tatcha in Spain. The chain of cosmetics and perfumery stores was founded in 1969 in Limoges, France, and has been part of the portfolio of luxury giant LVMH since 1997. The retailer operates more than 3,200 stores in 35 markets and employs some 56,000 people; among its latest moves in Spain is the opening last March of a store on Madrid's Goya street.
The LVMH group does not detail Sephora's revenues, but, according to beauty industry analysts, the chain would have recorded sales of more than 14.35 billion euros in 2023. Sephora's management aims to reach 20 billion euros in the medium term.

Coach parent Tapestry invests in Gen Phoenix to scale sustainable leather
Tapestry Inc., the New York–based parent company of Coach and Kate Spade, will invest $15 million in Gen Phoenix, a UK-based recycled leather innovator, to expand its sustainable materials strategy across its fashion portfolio, the companies told Reuters. The deal raises Tapestry's stake in Gen Phoenix to 9.9%, signaling a deeper commitment to circular fashion. The investment aligns with the company's broader sustainability ambitions and its focus on attracting Generation Z — those born between 1997 and 2012 — who increasingly prioritize eco-conscious fashion. The partnership began in 2022 with the launch of Coach's Gen Z-focused Coachtopia line, which features products designed with at least 50% recycled leather fibers made from waste supplied by Gen Phoenix, according to the company's website. Scott Roe, Tapestry's chief financial and chief operating officer, said Coachtopia serves as an indicator of younger consumers' shopping behavior. 'It's not that Coachtopia is so commercially massive, but it is helping us understand what's important to this really critical demographic,' he said. Roe declined to disclose Coachtopia's share of total earnings, noting only that it remains 'relatively small.' Gen Phoenix estimates its materials have an 80% lower carbon footprint compared to virgin leather. The companies previously collaborated on an uncoated lining material that Coachtopia brought to market in under a year, said Elyse Winer, chief marketing officer at Gen Phoenix. As part of the investment, Gen Phoenix — which sources waste materials from European tanneries and factories — will supply recycled leather to Tapestry for three years. Gen Phoenix CEO John Kennedy said the company looks forward to working across all Tapestry brands. Roe added that the potential applications of recycled materials across the business remain broad: 'There's a lot of opportunities to redirect a lot of that waste stream,' he said.
