The company said, the launch of our spring campaign ‘Only Here’ boosted sales of contemporary lifestyle brand Kin across womenswear, accessories and menswear with Kin womenswear sales up 53 percent on last year.

Electrical and home technology sales were up 4.1 percent driven by strong sales of electrical items with demand for TVs and smart speakers.
