Richemont reported a 6% year-on-year sales increase at constant currency (CCY) to €5.4 billion for Q1 ending June 30, 2025.At actual exchange rates, growth stood at 3%, with currency headwinds weighing on results. Despite a challenging global backdrop, the performance signals a steady recovery from last year’s luxury market slump.

Jewellery remained the standout segment, with the company’s four Maisons — Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Buccellati, and Vhernier — posting strong 11% growth to €3.914 billion. This marks the third straight quarter of double-digit growth, supported by both jewellery and watches, and driven by all regions except Japan.

However, the Specialist Watchmakers division struggled, with sales falling 7% to €824 million due to weaker performance in China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Japan. Double-digit growth in the Americas provided partial relief.

Richemont’s ‘Other’ division — which includes fashion and accessories brands — saw a 1% drop at CCY and 4% decline on a reported basis, totaling €674 million. While Peter Millar, Alaïa, Chloé, and Watchfinder showed strength, no update was given on Dunhill, Delvaux, Montblanc, or other labels.

Regionally, Europe (+11% to €1.295 billion), the Americas (+10% reported, +17% CCY to €1.335 billion), and the Middle East & Africa (+11% reported, +17% CCY to €524 million) all performed well. Asia Pacific was flat at CCY but down 4% reported (€1.731 billion), while Japan declined sharply (-15% CCY, -13% reported) to €527 million due to tough comparatives and reduced tourist spending.

The National Retail Federation (NRF) predicts Americans will spend $1.01 trillion on holiday shopping in November and December. That is a 4.2% jump from $972 billion last year.

NRF said its forecast was based on economic modeling that incorporates consumer spending, employment, wages and ​historical retail sales data. It excludes automobile, gasoline and ​restaurant sales

​Extra Hiring: To handle the surge in shoppers, stores plan to hire 325,000 to 375,000 temporary holiday workers.

​Mixed Budget Impact: Higher gas prices and inflation could still strain some family budgets, affecting low- and high-income shoppers differently.

​Retailers expect a strong shopping season because people continue to make holiday spending a priority.

Store owners are ready to attract shoppers by offering competitive prices, deals, and choices for every budget.

While overall buying power remains high, ongoing inflation and rising household costs mean some families will have to watch their spending more carefully than others.
