The Moncler brand itself has shown revenues of €705 million, up 20 per cent cFX (17 per cent at current exchange rates) from €604.8 million in the corresponding period last year. The direct-to-consumer (DTC) channel was particularly strong, witnessing a 26 per cent year-on-year (YoY) increase at cFX, with all regions achieving solid double-digit growth. However, the wholesale channel experienced a slight downturn, with revenues falling by 5 per cent cFX to €96.5 million, the company said in a media release.

Revenues for Stone Island were down to €113 million, a decline of 5 per cent cFX (7 per cent at current exchange rates) from €121.6 million in the first quarter of FY23.

The wholesale channel, however, was adversely affected by challenging market conditions and the brand’s strategy of strict volume control to enhance the quality of its network.

The EMEA region also reported solid gains, with a 15 per cent rise cFX, driven by local demand and an uptick in tourist purchases. The Americas followed closely with a 14 per cent increase cFX.
