Tapestry and Home Depot both reported second-quarter earnings before the bell on Tuesday, and CNBC’s Jim Cramer thinks that the numbers reveal a lot about consumer spending patterns.

“Despite an incredibly strong job market, we’re seeing a decisive shift in how the consumer spends her money: houses are out, clothes and accessories are in,” the “Mad Money” host said.

Tapestry — which owns Coach, Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman — reported earnings that beat Wall Street analysts’ expectations and also offered strong estimates for the future. Tapestry’s peers in the retail sector, such as Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren and VF Corp, have also posted strong second-quarter numbers.

On the other hand, Home Depot beat expectations but reported conservative guidance that gave investors pause. Considering the company’s solid performance, Cramer wondered, “if they’re being cautious, what does that mean for everyone else?” Along with Home Depot, he pointed to online real-estate brokerage Redfin, whose CEO warned investors last week of a slowing housing market, as a sign that “the housing industry has hit a wall.”
