What would have been the biggest fashion industry merger since the mid-2000s died today after two major luxury brands confirmed that their $8.5 billion deal is off. When it was announced last year, the acquisition of Capri by Tapestry was touted as a way to bring several famous brands under the same roof.

Tapestry Inc.’ stock jumped 6.8% early Thursday, while Capri Holdings Inc.’s stock fell about 4%, after Tapestry said it’s terminating its $8.5 billion merger agreement with its smaller rival.

The proposed merger that would've combined six luxury brands owned by Capri and Tapestry was abandoned by the companies due to regulatory challenges posed by an FTC lawsuit.
