The French luxury brand said on Wednesday that profits from recurring operations jumped 34 percent in its fiscal second half to 106 million euros, or $118.4 million, while revenues in the six months to June 30 climbed 22 percent to 911 million euros, or $1.02 billion, a 9 percent improvement at constant exchange rates.
Rtw registered double-digit sales growth during the semester, while leather goods also posted a healthy performance, boosted by the success of the Diorama, backed by an advertising campaign fronted by Rihanna. The house’s other handbag pillar lines — Lady Dior, Diorissimo and Be Dior — also grew.
