“Considering the overall quality of our sales, we can envisage another particularly good year ahead, with double digit growth in terms of both revenues and profitability,” Chief Executive and Chairman Brunello Cucinelli said in a statement.
Sales in Europe, which represent just over a third of overall revenues, grew 8.8 percent and customers in the Italian market bought 4.9 percent more than in the same period the previous year.
Like-for-like sales in the 90 directly-owned boutiques were up 33.9 percent in the first 17 weeks of this year.
