Prada Group Reports 13% Revenue Increase in Q1 2025, Miu Miu Leads with 60% Sales Jump

Luxury fashion giant Prada Group is defying economic headwinds with a 13% revenue increase in the first quarter of 2025, reaching 1.34 billion euros. The group’s success is largely attributed to its subsidiary brand Miu Miu, which reported a whopping 60% jump in sales during the same period. This growth was driven by strong sales in leather goods and the expansion of Miu Miu’s footwear category.

While Prada Group’s sales in Europe, the Americas, and Asia all showed double-digit growth, the Middle East was the top-performing region with a 31% increase in sales. The recent acquisition of Versace, which was hit hard by the luxury slowdown, may also contribute to Prada Group’s continued success. Only time will tell if the addition of Versace to the portfolio will impact the group’s performance.

adidas Beats Forecasts with 155% Net Income Jump, Warns of Future Price Increases on US Goods

With ongoing negotiations between the US and exporting countries, the final tariffs are still unknown.

adidas, known for its iconic styles like the Gazelle, Samba, Stan Smith, and Superstar, remains optimistic about its future despite potential challenges. However, countries where adidas manufactures, such as Vietnam and Cambodia, may face tariffs of over 40% if a new deal is not reached.
