Burberry sees growth in accessories

Burberry is bucking any economic woes in the luxury market

through its strong sales of accessories and beauty products.

The British luxury brand, which this season has high profile actress Sienna Miller and her fiancé Tom Sturridge as its newest faces, is seeing growing sales outside its core clothing division, with men in China driving a boom in male accessories.

The company, which was founded by Thomas Burberry in 1856, is also focusing on increasing the size of its fragrance and beauty division after terminating a licence agreement and bringing the business in-house in April.
