Edelson Lechtzin LLP is investigating potential class action claims against Kering S.A., the owner of luxury brands including Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, and Balenciaga, over whether it raised retail prices to pass along Trump administration tariffs to consumers and then failed to refund customers after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down those tariffs as unlawful on February 20, 2026. The investigation examines whether Kering kept the higher prices collected from shoppers while also being eligible to recover the same tariff payments from the federal government, a potential double recovery at consumers' expense. Consumers who purchased products from Kering brands such as Gucci, Saint Laurent, Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Alexander McQueen, Creed, and Maui Jim during the tariff period may be entitled to a refund. The firm is urging affected consumers to check their receipts and contact the firm to learn about their rights.
