These principles guide us as we navigate an evolving landscape with confidence, discipline and responsibility.”

“Our performance confirms the health of our brands and further solid, diligent execution by our teams,” said Andrea Guerra, the group’s chief executive officer. “Prada accelerated versus the previous quarter; Miu Miu has maintained a sustained growth trajectory for 4 years, including in this quarter that was facing triple-digit comps. Despite a still challenging environment, we remain confident in our trajectory, focusing on products and experiences that spark emotional engagement, while further improving our speed and flexibility.”

In the nine months, the retail channel was up 6 percent to 3.64 billion euros, driven by like-for-like and full-price sales.
