Interesting to hear Supreme is now part of the Carlyle Group. That doesn't bode well for Supreme, as Carlyle is an investment group. Very different than Coach adding additional names to their portfolio. Carlyle is a bunch of blood-sucking money men. They swoop in on companies they think have value, and do whatever it takes to improve their valuation on paper, suck out as much value as possible, before chopping it up and selling it in pieces. The longer it takes to sell, the more severe things become to keep the value inflated.
I went through being employed by a company that got bought by Carlyle. My division was pretty insulated from the cuts due to having a solid public-sector contract, but we did shrunk a bit anyway. The rest of my company? Entire divisions were shut down if they didn't hit their growth numbers. Particularly the R&D portions of the company were gutted. The place was an empty husk by the time it got re-sold.
