Luxury group Kering has reported revenues of €10.1 billion for the first half of 2023, an increase of 2% year on year, writes Leatherbiz.
Gucci contributed €5.1 billion towards the total, a fall of 1% for the group’s biggest brand. However, there was growth of 6% at Yves Saint Laurent, taking its revenues for the January-June period to €1.6 billion. Figures for Bottega Veneta showed revenues for the first half of €833 million, flat compared to the same period in 2022.
Sales at the group’s other brands registered a fall of 5% year on year, with a combined total of €1.9 billion. Kering said there had been “a significant improvement” in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the first.
Chief executive, François-Henri Pinault, said: “The developments of the first half strengthen my confidence in Kering’s future prospects.” He explained that the group had maintained a high level of profitability and added that major organisational changes announced in mid-July would enhance the stewardship of Kering brands.
We bring leather, material and fashion businesses together: an opportunity to meet and greet face to face. We bring them from all parts of the world so that they can find fresh partners, discover new customers or suppliers and keep ahead of industry developments.
We organise a number of trade exhibitions which focus on fashion and lifestyle: sectors that are constantly in flux, so visitors and exhibitors alike need to be constantly aware both of the changes around them and those forecast for coming seasons.
