MILAN (Reuters) – Italy’s Prada (OTC:) is one of the potential suitors exploring the acquisition of the Versace fashion group sold by Capri Holdings (NYSE:), Il Sole 24 daily reported ore on Friday.

In November Coach-owner Tapestry (NYSE: ) struck an $8.5 billion deal to buy Michael Kors-owned Capri.

After that deal to create a US luxury conglomerate fell through, Capri was hired Barclays (LON:) is looking at strategic options including selling its Versace and Jimmy Choo brands, two people with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters.

One person does not rule out that the entire Capri Holdings group could also be sold.

Contacted by Reuters, Prada declined to comment.
