The Italian luxury fashion house Brunello Cucinelli SpA closed the 2025 financial year with sales of almost 1.41 billion euros. This corresponded to growth of 10.1 percent compared to the previous year. Adjusted for exchange rate changes, revenues rose by 11.5 percent, exceeding expectations from the beginning of the year, the company said on Monday.
The growth trend for the Umbrian knitwear specialist continued in the fourth quarter. Sales reached 388.6 million euros, exceeding the corresponding previous year’s level by 8.4 percent (currency-adjusted +11.9 percent).
“We have completed a record year, both in terms of sales and image,” said Brunello Cucinelli, the company’s executive chairman and creative director, in a statement. “Given the quality of sales, we expect a healthy, sustainable and balanced profit for 2025.”
Brunello Cucinelli: “We are confident for the coming months”
“Winter sales were excellent and the start of the spring/summer 2026 collection was positive,” said Cucinelli. “In addition, the response to the fall/winter 2026 pre-collections was excellent. We are therefore confident for the coming months.” For the current year, management is currently expecting sales growth of around ten percent.
Last year, the company increased its sales in its own retail sector by 11.3 percent (currency-adjusted +12.9 percent) to 947.1 million euros. In the fourth quarter, growth of 10.5 percent (currency-adjusted +14.5 percent) was achieved in this sales channel. In the wholesale business, annual sales increased by 7.8 percent (currency-adjusted +8.5 percent) to 460.7 million euros.
The company is strengthening its production capacities in Italy
All geographical regions developed positively last year: In Europe, revenues rose by 8.3 percent (currency-adjusted +8.1 percent) to 494.6 million euros, in America by 9.2 percent (currency-adjusted +11.9 percent) to 520.5 million euros and in Asia by 13.7 percent (currency-adjusted +15.3 percent) to 392.6 million euros.
The company also announced that it was able to complete its three-year plan 2024-2026 for “Made in Italy” artisanal production six months ahead of schedule. This was made possible by extraordinary investments in the last two years, according to a statement. They ensure smooth operations for the company for the next 10 to 15 years. In 2025, investments will amount to around 145 million euros, which corresponds to around 10.5 percent of sales.
“This plan has allowed us to double our headquarters in Solomeo and build two new men’s tailors in Gubbio and Penne. We can now look confidently to the next ten to fifteen years,” the company explained. “We have a robust, efficient and sufficiently sized production structure that is ready for the expected future growth.”
