Esprit de Corp.
 PROFILE
Esprit de Corp. should be in good spirits -- shoppers are rediscovering its apparel. A must-have in the 1980s whose popularity later waned, Esprit offers womenswear, children's wear, shoes, swimwear, and accessories, including Dr. Seuss licensed items. It sells its goods exclusively in the US in more than 40 Esprit stores in 18 states and in shops within department stores. It also offers its products via catalogs and the Internet. (Esprit Holdings controls the brand in 40 or so countries outside the US.) The clothier has sold its Moonstone Mountain Equipment unit, a maker of sleeping bags. Doug and Susie Tompkins founded Esprit in 1968. Oaktree Capital Management and Cerberus Partners control the company.
