Jimmy Choo has recorded another year of record revenue for the full-year ending December 31, with “strong growth” in Asia and “continued solid growth in Europe and Japan.
The luxury British retailer raked in revenues of £364 million in 2016, a 15 per cent increase on the previous year, with shoes accounting for 75 per cent of the revenue.
The revenue from Jimmy Choo‘s retail arm grew 17 per cent to £244 million, thanks to a strong final quarter that resulted in second half like-for-likes improving by two per cent – but like-for-like sales for the whole year was down by one per cent due to renovation programme and adjustments in global prices.
Meanwhile, its wholesale revenue increased by eight per cent to £107 million and online represented six per cent of Jimmy Choo‘s revenue.
