- Kate Spade's (KATE -19.2%) weak results posted earlier this morning have created some broad anxiety across the spectrum of retailers that sell handbags luxury apparel, and accessories.
- The report from Kate Spade threw a bright spotlight on the uphill battle the sector faces in replacing sales from the reduced level of tourists pouring into the U.S.
- Coach (COH -1%), Vera Bradley (VRA -2.5%), Michael Kors (KORS -4%), Movado (MOV -0.3%), and Fossil (FOSL -2.9%) are all notably lower.
