Commenting on the trading, Remo Ruffini, Moncler’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said in a media release: “My team and I are working on important new projects, that I am confident will add significant value to the Moncler brand. I am proud that we have reinforced our network of flagship stores with the recent inauguration of the Milano-Montenapoleone store, our largest mono-brand boutique in the world.”

In the first nine months, Moncler recorded positive performance in all regions. In Italy, revenues rose 4 percent, with sound organic growth in both distribution channels. In the third quarter, the company said, the market was slightly affected by the temporary closure of the Milano-Montenapoleone store, which re-opened in October with significantly expanded floor space.

The business in Korea grew by double-digits.

In the Americas, the company recorded revenue growth of 14 percent at constant exchange rates, supported by double-digit growth across both distribution channels and both North American markets (US and Canada).
