The claim deadline passed on March 20, 2026, and a final approval hearing was scheduled for March 27, 2026 before the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego. As of June 23, 2026, the official settlement website and the sources we reviewed have not publicly confirmed the outcome of that hearing, an effective date, or that the $30 merchandise certificates have been issued or distributed. If you submitted a claim, or you are an eligible California or Oregon KORSVIP member, monitor the email address tied to your claim or KORSVIP account — including spam and promotions folders — and check the official settlement website for future updates.
What Was the Michael Kors Outlet Class Action?
This page covers a proposed class action settlement reached with Michael Kors over allegations that the company advertised misleading or improper discounts on merchandise sold in Michael Kors Outlet stores.The Michael Kors class action lawsuit alleged that advertised discounts created a misleading impression of savings. Michael Kors denied any wrongdoing, and the agreement was not an admission of liability. The court has not ruled on the merits. The claim period has closed, and the settlement required final court approval to take effect.
Outlet and online retailers across the industry face similar deceptive-discount claims — see, for example, the newer Shein fake-discount pricing class action lawsuit.
What Is the Total Settlement Value?
This settlement does not describe a cash fund for consumers. The consumer relief is a merchandise certificate worth up to $30, not a cash payment.Separately, the official settlement materials state that Michael Kors agreed to pay class counsel's attorneys' fees, costs, and class administration expenses of up to $1,985,000, subject to court approval. That figure covers fees and administration, not a consumer payout, and should not be read as a cash fund distributed to class members. The three named plaintiffs also requested service awards of up to $5,000 each, subject to court approval.
Who Was Eligible?
The class covered people who reside in the United States and made one or more qualifying purchases at a Michael Kors Outlet store between May 10, 2019 and November 14, 2025.The settlement created two categories of eligible consumers:
• California or Oregon KORSVIP Authorized Claimants, meaning KORSVIP account holders who had a California or Oregon mailing address on file with Michael Kors and who made a qualifying purchase at a California or Oregon Michael Kors Outlet store during the class period.
• Nationwide Authorized Claimants, meaning other eligible purchasers who made a qualifying purchase during the class period but did not meet the California or Oregon KORSVIP requirements above.
What Was the Settlement Relief?
Eligible class members were set to receive one merchandise certificate that can be applied for up to $30 toward any single in-store purchase at a Michael Kors Outlet store.Important limits on the certificate include:
• One certificate per person.
• Certificates are nontransferable and cannot be combined with another settlement certificate.
• Certificates expire 90 days after issuance and have no remaining value if you spend less than $30.
• Certificates have no cash value and cannot be redeemed for cash.
• Certificates cannot be used to purchase gift cards or gift certificates.
How Did Claimants File? (Claim Period Closed)
The claim period has closed, so new claims can no longer be submitted. For historical reference: class members who did not have a California or Oregon mailing address on file with Michael Kors and who made a qualifying purchase during the class period had to submit a valid claim form — online or by mail — to receive a merchandise certificate.If you already submitted a claim, no further action is required to keep it on file; watch the email address you used when filing for any administrator updates.
What Was the Claim Deadline?
The claim deadline was March 20, 2026, and it has passed. The official notice stated that online claims had to be submitted by 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on March 20, 2026, and that mailed claims had to be postmarked by March 20, 2026.What Were the Important Dates?
• Claim Deadline: March 20, 2026 (passed)
• Opt-Out Deadline: March 20, 2026 (passed)
• Objection Deadline: March 20, 2026 (passed)
• Final Approval Hearing (scheduled): March 27, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time — outcome not publicly confirmed by the sources we reviewed as of June 23, 2026
Payment and Certificate Status
The consumer benefit is a merchandise certificate worth up to $30 toward one qualifying in-store purchase at a Michael Kors Outlet store — not a cash payment.The official notice said that, if the court approved the settlement, merchandise certificates would be sent no earlier than April 1, 2026. “No earlier than April 1” was a soonest-possible date, not a promised or confirmed distribution date. As of June 23, 2026, the official settlement website has not confirmed that certificates have been issued, and appeals or other unresolved court proceedings could delay distribution.
If you filed a valid claim, or you are an eligible California or Oregon KORSVIP member who was set to receive a certificate automatically, watch the email address connected to your submitted claim or eligible KORSVIP account — including spam and promotions folders. The settlement administrator is Simpluris. For status updates and contact options, use the official settlement website rather than this page.
Was Proof Required to File a Claim?
Receipt upload required: No. The public online claim form did not require uploading a receipt. Instead, claimants attested to a qualifying purchase, and claims were subject to verification by the settlement administrator and Michael Kors. This does not mean anyone could claim — only people who actually made a qualifying purchase at a Michael Kors Outlet store during the class period were eligible.When a Claim Was Not Necessary
A claim was not necessary for class members who:• Received direct email notice of the settlement,
• Were a KORSVIP account holder with a California or Oregon mailing address on file, and
• Made one or more qualifying purchases at a California or Oregon Michael Kors Outlet store during the class period.
Those eligible California or Oregon KORSVIP members were set to receive one merchandise certificate automatically if the court approved the settlement, without filing a claim. Receiving the certificate also meant giving up the right to object to the settlement and to be part of any other lawsuit about the legal claims in this action.
Did Your Address Matter?
Yes. Whether a class member needed to file a claim depended on the mailing address Michael Kors had on file.Class members without a California or Oregon mailing address on file who made a qualifying purchase during the class period had to submit a valid claim form to receive a merchandise certificate. KORSVIP account holders with a California or Oregon mailing address on file who received direct email notice did not need to file a claim and were set to receive a certificate automatically if the court approved the settlement.
Eligibility was based on the address on file with Michael Kors, not a current address and not the address where the purchase was made.

Michael Kors (USA), Inc., Case No. 25CU041352N, in the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego.The court preliminarily approved the settlement and scheduled a final approval hearing for March 27, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time.

What Options Did Class Members Have? (Now Closed)
The deadlines for all of the options below passed on March 20, 2026, so none of them can be taken now. For historical reference, class members could:• Submit a claim to receive a merchandise certificate, if they were required to file.
• Do nothing — class members without a California or Oregon mailing address on file who did nothing would not receive a certificate but could still be bound by the settlement.
• Opt out (exclude themselves) by March 20, 2026 to keep the right to sue Michael Kors separately over the claims in this case.
• File a written objection (deadline March 20, 2026) explaining why they believed the settlement should not be approved.
The opt-out and objection processes required a signed letter or written objection postmarked by March 20, 2026 that included the case name and number, the class member's contact information, and the other details listed in the official notice. Those windows are now closed.
