Valentino’s Sales Increased 10 Percent In The Last 2 Months – 4/2/10


Last year, Valentino SpA scaled back its expansion plans due to its own financial crisis (see the MO Down for December and July for details). But now, all signs point to major improvement and perhaps new store openings.

Valentino Fashion Group’s CEO, Stefano Sassi, said retailing revenue rose at a “double-digit” pace in December and January, and suggested “we can grow more” as a result.

Sassi also said, “I don’t know if we are seeing a light at the end of the tunnel, but for sure the situation is getting better. If the market stabilizes, there will be more opportunity to grow and then more opportunity to invest.”
