The San Francisco-based company has tapped Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan to manage the deal, although the timing and size of the offering could change, sources told CNBC.

The company recently announced its fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit revenue growth, which CEO Chip Bergh said was broad-based across virtually every part of the business, including all four brands, and all regions and channels.
