Hermes continues to go from strength to strength, with the luxury French brand posting a 30% increase in revenue for the year’s third quarter.
The greater sales figures are credited to the success of the label’s famous accessories, including silk scarves, timepieces and, of course, handbags. While It bags like the Birkin and Kelly always sell well, its more recent designs like the cross-body style Jypsiere which keep fashion fans interested in the label.
Early indications show that the only way for the brand is up. Its new creative director Christophe Lemair is tipped to show his designs for the fall/winter 2011 season. No doubt this fresh blood will result in new ideas to further reinvigorate the great house of Hermes.
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. All signs point to Hermes enjoying its most successful year in history by the close of 2010. No wonder LVMH is keen to get in on the act!
