Letter Agreement, dated March 8, 2018, between the Registrant and Anna Bakst

March 8, 2018

Dear Anna,

It is with great pleasure that I confirm our offer to appoint you as Chief Executive Officer and Brand President, Kate Spade, of Tapestry, Inc. ( “Tapestry,”), reporting to the Chief Executive Officer of Tapestry. Upon effectiveness of the appointment, you will be a member of Tapestry’s Executive Committee. You will be considered an “officer” under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as well as an “Executive Officer” of Tapestry pursuant to Rule 3b-7 of the Exchange Act.

This letter details your base salary, bonus opportunity, annual equity opportunity, joining compensation and other benefits. It also lays out the conditions of your employment with Tapestry and Kate Spade (collectively, the “Company”). If you accept our offer, you agree to start in your new role no later than March 26, 2018 (the “Effective Date ”).

$875,000 per annum.

You will be eligible to participate in the Company ’s Performance-Based Annual Incentive Plan ("AIP"), a cash incentive program under which your payout is based on Kate Spade’s and Tapestry’s financial performance, subject to its terms and conditions. Your target bonus will be 100% of your salary actually paid during the fiscal year. The actual bonus payout may range from 0% of target for performance below established thresholds to 200% of target for maximum performance, with performance components, measures and target values to be established by the Tapestry’s Board of Directors or the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”). Since your Effective Date is before April 1, 2018, you will be eligible for the AIP beginning in fiscal year 2018, and any such AIP bonus earned will be guaranteed at Target- 100% of your salary paid during the fiscal year and pro-rated in accordance with the Effective Date. For fiscal year 2019 your bonus will be guaranteed at Target- 100% of your salary paid during the fiscal year.

Any AIP bonus is paid within three months of the end of the fiscal year and you must be an employee in good standing with the Company on the AIP bonus payment date in order to be eligible to receive any such AIP bonus payment. If you resign your employment or are terminated for "cause," you are not eligible for this bonus for the fiscal year in which your employment is terminated. For the purposes of this letter, termination for “cause” is defined in the Addendum. Please refer to the My Pay section of Tapestry’s intranet, the Loop, for the governing terms and conditions of the AIP bonus plan. In addition, Tapestry’s Board of Directors has adopted an incentive repayment policy (attached) for members of the Executive Committee, which you must sign and return to me coincident with your acceptance of this offer.

Your compensation package includes a guideline annual equity grant value of $1,700,000, to be granted in a fixed proportion of different equity vehicles, which may include restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance restricted stock units ("PRSUs"), and/or stock options, as determined annually by the Committee and normally granted in August. Notwithstanding your joining grant outlined below, Executive Officers of Tapestry, of which you will be one, currently receive the following mix of equity vehicles: 20% RSU’s, 40% PRSU’s and 40% stock options. Currently, PRSUs cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date and may vest between 0 to 200% of target shares depending on performance, RSUs vest and stock options are exercisable one fourth each year over four years beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date, in each case, subject to your continued employment or other service with the Company from the grant date to each applicable vesting date. Any future equity grants will be determined based on your position, performance, time in job and other criteria Tapestry determines in its discretion, which are subject to change. All equity awards are subject to approval by the Committee.

Your joining grant, with a grant value of $1,000,000 will be made on the first business day of the fiscal month coincident with or following your Effective Date, and will be granted in RSUs. The number of stock options you receive will be based on the grant price (closing price of Tapestry, Inc. stock on the grant date) and on an industry standard valuation model, Black-Scholes, which determines the value of a stock option. The number of RSUs you receive will be based on the grant price. The RSUs for your joining grant will vest one fourth each year over four years, beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to your continued employment or other service with the Company.

You are subject to the terms and conditions of the grant agreements, including, but not limited

to, the provisions relating to claw back of equity gains in certain post-employment scenarios. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this letter, the terms of the Amended and Restated Coach, Inc. 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (Amended and Restated as of September 20, 2017) (as it may be amended from time to time, the "Stock Plan") and related grant agreements, as they may be changed from time to time, are controlling.

If your employment at the Company should cease involuntarily for any reason other than for "cause," or if you resign for “Good Reason, ” each as defined in the attached addendum (e.g.,

Page 2 of 12

position elimination), you will be eligible to receive twelve (12) months of base salary under the Company’s Severance Pay Plan, subject to its terms and conditions (including with regard to the time and form of payment). For more information, please view the severance plan document on the Loop or contact Human Resources. To receive separation pay, you will be required to sign a waiver and release agreement in the form provided by the Company. This agreement will include restrictions on your ability to compete with the Company and solicit Company employees.

Upon your voluntary resignation from the Company after attaining either (i) age 62 with 5 years of service with the Company and its affiliates, or (ii) age 55 with 10 years of service with the Company and its affiliates, your voluntary resignation will be deemed a “Retirement,” as such term is defined in applicable award agreements, provided that you continue to comply with the terms and conditions of any restrictive covenants (e.g., non-competition, non-investment in a company competitor, non-solicitation of company employees and customers and nondisclosure of confidential company information), and provided further, that any such awards shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable award agreements and the Stock Plan.

It is expressly intended and contemplated that this letter comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the applicable guidance thereunder ("Section 409A") and that the payments hereunder will either be exempt from Section 409A or will comply with the provisions of Section 409A. This letter will be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent, and, notwithstanding any provision of this letter to the contrary, in the event that the Company determines that any amounts payable hereunder would be immediately taxable to you under Section 409A, the Company reserves the right (without any obligation to do so or to indemnify you for failure to do so) to amend this letter to satisfy Section 409A or be exempt therefrom (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A).

Notwithstanding any other provision of this letter, if you are a "specified employee" within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(i)(1), then the payment of any amount or the provision of any benefit under this letter which is considered deferred compensation subject to Section 409A

shall be deferred for six (6) months after your "separation from service" or, if earlier, the date of your death to the extent required by Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) (the "409A Deferral Period"). In the event payments are otherwise due to be made in installments or periodically during the 409A Deferral Period, the payments which would otherwise have been made in the 409A Deferral Period shall be accumulated and paid in a lump sum on the Company’s first standard payroll date that arises on or after the 409A Deferral Period ends, and the balance of the payments shall be made as otherwise scheduled. For purposes of any provision of this letter providing for reimbursements to you, such reimbursements shall be made no later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which you incurred such expenses, and in no event shall the unused reimbursement amount during one calendar year be carried over into a subsequent calendar year. For purposes of this letter, you shall not be deemed to have terminated employment unless you have a "separation from service" within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(h). All rights to payments and benefits under this letter shall be treated as rights to receive a series of separate payments and benefits to the fullest extent allowed by Section 409A. In no event shall any liability for failure to comply with the requirements of Section 409A be transferred from you or any other individual to the Company or any of its affiliates, employees or agents.

Agreed and accepted by:

As an employee with Kate Spade of Tapestry, Inc. (collectively, the (Company”), you will be subject to the following policies. Please sign the acknowledgement at the end noting your understanding and agreement.

Tapestry’s Board of Directors has adopted an incentive repayment policy affecting all performance-based compensation that the Company pays to members of its Executive Committee.

You agree that you remain subject to this repayment policy and that it may change from time-to-time as the Committee deems appropriate and/or as is required by law.

Tapestry ’s Board of Directors has implemented a stock ownership policy for all Executive Officers and Directors.

As an Executive Committee member and Section 16(b) officer of Tapestry, you will be required to obtain pre-approval of all Tapestry stock transactions from the Tapestry Law Department and Tapestry’s CEO.

If at any time you elect to terminate your employment with the Company, including a valid retirement from the Company, you agree to provide six (6) months’ advance written notice of your intent to terminate your employment and such notice shall be provided via email to the Chief Executive Officer and Global Human Resources Officer of Tapestry. After you have provided your required notice, you will continue to be an employee of the Company. Your duties and other obligations as an employee of the Company will continue and you will be expected to cooperate in the transition of your responsibilities. The Company shall, however, have the right in its sole discretion to direct that you no longer come to work or to shorten the notice period. Nothing herein alters your status as an employee at-will. The Company reserves all legal and equitable rights to enforce the advance notice provisions of this paragraph. You acknowledge and agree that your failure to comply with the notice requirements set forth in this paragraph shall result in: (i) the Company being entitled to an immediate injunction, prohibiting you from commencing employment elsewhere for the length of the required notice, (ii) the Company being entitled to claw back any bonus paid to you within 180 days of your last day of employment with the Company, (iii) the forfeiture of any unpaid bonus as of your last day of employment with the Company, (iv) any unvested or vested equity awards held by you shall be automatically forfeited on your last day of employment with the Company, and (v) the Company being entitled to claw back any Financial Gain (as defined below) you realize from the vesting of any Tapestry equity award within the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding your last day of employment with the Company. “Financial Gain” shall have the meaning set forth in the various equity award grant agreements that you receive during your employment with the Company.

(a) Non-Competition. You are prohibited from, directly or indirectly, counseling, advising, consulting for, becoming employed by or providing services in any capacity to a “competitor” (as defined below) of the Company or any of its operating divisions, brands, subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively, the “Tapestry Group”) during your employment and the twelve (12) month period beginning on your last day of employment with the Company (the “Restricted Period”).

“Competitor” includes: the companies, together with their respective subsidiaries, parent entities, and all other affiliates as set forth on Exhibit A, attached hereto (such companies subject to change from time-to-time as posted on Tapestry’s intranet, the Loop ). In the event your employment is terminated for any reason (other than for “cause, ” as defined below) and the Company, at its sole discretion, elects to enforce its right to enjoin you from joining a competitor at any time during the Restricted Period, including prohibiting you from engaging in any of the activities prohibited by this Section 4(a), the Company shall compensate you at your

most recent base salary, subject to usual withholdings, to be paid monthly, during the remainder of the Restricted Period. The foregoing payments will be made to you solely to the extent that severance or other termination payments are not paid to you during the remainder of the Restricted Period. Nothing herein shall impact or limit your right to receive any severance payments and benefits pursuant to the terms of your offer letter, except that it is expressly understood and agreed that (i) you will not be entitled to receive payments pursuant to this paragraph during any period you are receiving severance or other termination payments and (ii) your receipt of any severance or other termination payments shall not impact the Company’s right to enforce its rights under this Section 4(a) or otherwise.

You agree that if you are offered and desire to accept employment with, or provide consulting services to, another business, person or enterprise, including, but not limited to, a “competitor,” during the Restricted Period, you will promptly inform Tapestry’s Global Human Resources Officer, in writing, of the identity of the prospective employer or entity, your proposed title and duties with that business, person or enterprise, and the proposed starting date of that employment or consulting services. You also agree that you will inform that prospective employer or entity of the terms of these provisions. Failure to abide by the requirements of this Section 4(a) will also be deemed a failure to provide the required advance written notice set forth above under Notice of Intent to Terminate Employment .

(b) Non-Solicitation. You agree that during the Restricted Period, you will not, directly or indirectly, whether alone or in association with or for the benefit of others, without the prior written consent of the Company, hire or attempt to hire, employ or solicit for employment, consulting or other service, any officer, employee or agent of the Tapestry Group (each, a “Protected Person”), or encourage, persuade or induce any Protected Person to terminate, diminish or otherwise alter such Protected Person’s relationship with the Tapestry Group.

For purposes of this Section 4(b) and to avoid any ambiguity, you and the Company agree that it will be a rebuttable presumption that you solicited any Protected Person if such Protected Person commences employment or other service for or on behalf of you or any entity to which you provide services or terminates, diminishes or otherwise alters such Protected Person’s relationship with the Tapestry Group prior to the end of the Restricted Period.

(c) Non-Interference. During the Restricted Period, you will not, directly or indirectly, whether alone or in association with or for the benefit of others, whether as an employee, owner, stockholder, partner, director, officer, consultant, advisor or otherwise, assist, attempt to or

Page 7 of 12

encourage (i) any vendor, supplier, customer or client of, or any other person or entity in a business relationship with the Tapestry Group to terminate, reduce, limit or otherwise alter such relationship, whether contractual or otherwise, (ii) any prospective vendor, supplier, customer or client not to enter into a business or contractual relationship with the Tapestry Group or (iii) to impair or attempt to impair any relationship, contractual or otherwise, between the Tapestry Group and any vendor, supplier, customer or client or any other person or entity in a business relationship with the Tapestry Group.

(d) Remedies. You acknowledge that compliance with Section 4 is necessary to protect the business, good will and proprietary and confidential information of the Tapestry Group and that a breach or threatened breach of any provision in Section 4 will irreparably and continually damage the Tapestry Group, for which money damages may not be adequate. Accordingly, in the event that you breach any provision in Section 4, you will forfeit any remaining earned but unpaid bonus and the Company shall be entitled to claw back any bonus paid to you within 180 days of your last day of employment with the Company. In addition, the Company will be entitled to preliminarily or permanently enjoin you from violating Section 4 in order to prevent the continuation of such harm.

(e) Reasonableness of Restrictions. You acknowledge: (i) that the scope and duration of the restrictions on your activities under Section 4 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests, goodwill and confidential and proprietary information of the Tapestry Group; (ii) that the Tapestry Group does business worldwide and, therefore, you specifically agree that, in order to adequately protect the Tapestry Group, the scope of the restrictions in this provision is reasonable; and (iii) that you will be reasonably able to earn a living without violating the terms of these provisions.

(f) Judicial Modification. If any court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the covenants in Section 4, or any part of them, is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of such covenants and parts thereof shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portion. If any court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the covenants in Section 4, or any part of them, is invalid or unenforceable because of the geographic or temporal scope of such provisions, such court shall reduce such scope to the minimum extent necessary to make such covenants valid and enforceable. You agree that in the event that any court of competent jurisdiction finally holds that any provision of Section 4 constitutes an unreasonable restriction against you, such provision shall not be rendered void but shall apply to such extent as such court may judicially determine constitutes a reasonable restriction under the circumstances.

If you accept the Company ’s offer, our relationship is "employment-at-will." That means you are free, at any time, for any reason, to end your employment with the Company and that the Company may do the same, subject to the advance notice requirements set forth above under Notice of Intent to Terminate Employment .

For the purposes of this letter, termination for “cause” means a determination by the Company that your employment should be terminated for any of the following reasons: (i) your violation of the Company’s Employee Guides or any other written policies or procedures of the Company, which is not remedied within 30 days of written notice to you, via email, (ii) your indictment, conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony or a crime involving

moral turpitude, (iii) your willful or grossly negligent breach of your duties, (iv) any act of fraud

Page 8 of 12

embezzlement or other similar dishonest conduct, (v) any act or omission that the Company determines could have a material adverse effect on the Company, including without limitation, its reputation, business interests or financial condition, which is not remedied within 30 days of written notice to you, via email, (vi) your failure to follow the lawful directives of your supervisor, which is not remedied within 30 days of written notice to you, via email, or (vii) your breach of this offer letter or any other written agreement between you and the Company or any of its affiliates, which is not remedied within 30 days of written notice to you, via email.

For any dispute arising between the parties regarding or relating to this letter and/or any aspect of your employment, the parties hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction in the state and Federal courts located in New York, New York. This Agreement will be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws principles.

You have “Good Reason ” to resign your employment upon the occurrence of the following without your consent: (i) material diminution of position and title “Chief Executive Officer and Brand President, Kate Spade,” or comparable role; or (ii) relocation of the Company’s executive offices more than 50 miles outside of New York, New York; provided however, that notwithstanding the foregoing you may not resign your employment for Good Reason unless: (x) you provide the Company with at least 30 days prior written notice of your intent to resign for Good Reason (which notice is provided not later than the 60 day following the occurrence of the event constituting Good Reason) and (y) the Company does not remedy the alleged violation(s) within such 30-day period.

Our agreement regarding employment-at-will may not be changed, except specifically in writing signed by both the Committee and you. The Company may in its discretion add to, discontinue, or change compensation, duties, reporting lines, Company committees, Section 16 and/or executive officer status, benefits and policies. Nothing in the preceding two sentences shall be construed as diminishing the financial obligations of either of the parties hereunder, including, without limitation, the Company’s obligations to pay salary, bonus, equity compensation, severance etc., pursuant to the pertinent provisions set forth above. All payments made hereunder are subject to the usual withholdings required by law. In the event of a breach by you of any provision of this offer letter and/or any of the Company policies which are included herewith, you agree to reimburse the Company for any and all reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses related to the enforcement of this agreement, including, but not limited to, the clawback of gains specified hereunder.
