VF Corporation laid off 400 staff members globally, according to a report by Fashion Dive.
VF is the parent company of Timberland, Vans, The North Face, Dickies, and Wrangler, which are set to be affected by the job cuts across the regions and different sectors.
This move is a part of a business strategy and turnaround plan for Vans. A spokesperson for the company said in an email, “VF has been working to reorganize select commercial functions globally.
“While these decisions are never easy, we are confident this work will result in a stronger foundation that supports the company’s growth and value creation objectives.
“We’re committed to handling these changes with dignity and respect for all involved and want to thank those impacted through this process for their valued contributions to VF.”
The new job layoffs come on the heels of previous job cuts in January and November.
However, VF reported strong results for Q3 2025 in January, and it returned to profitability for the first time in two years. It saw its revenue inch up by 2% to $2.8 billion.
VF Corporation is set to release its Q4 2025 results on May 31. It joins the growing list of retailers downsizing to stay afloat amid increasing economic pressures.
Recently, JCPenney’s parent company, Catalyst Brands, reduced its corporate workforce by 9%.
Additionally, last month, former Kroger CEO Rodney McMullen stepped down from his board position at VF Corporation, according to a regulatory filing.
