The Bernard Arnault-led company has been discussing deals with multiple parties, including Reebok-owner Authentic Brands, Brookstone-owner Bluestar Alliance and Vera Wang parent WHP Global, the newspaper said on Friday.
Reuters was unable to immediately verify the report. LVMH, Marc Jacobs and the potential buyers did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comments.
The Journal said that a deal could be finalized soon, provided talks don’t fall apart.
