Key features of the quarter include:
- the exceptional growth of Christian Dior Couture, particularly in its owned boutique network (+19% at constant exchange rates);
- a decrease in Wines and Spirits revenue due to the performance of cognac in China, linked to current destocking by retailers, while Champagne had a good start to the year;
- organic revenue growth of 9% in Fashion and Leather Goods, featuring the strong creative momentum of Louis Vuitton;
- the excellent momentum of Parfums Christian Dior's iconic fragrances, and the remarkable success of La Petite Robe Noire;
- good revenue growth in Watches and Jewelry, notably through owned boutiques;
- solid growth in Selective Retailing, linked to good performance by DFS with help from the ongoing development of tourism in Asia, and continued market share gains by Sephora in all regions.
