Brunello Cucinelli reports 'excellent' first quarter with double-digit revenue growth

Brunello Cucinelli has posted "excellent revenues" of €369.1 million (£321.3 million) for the first quarter of 2026, with growth of 14% at constant exchange rates (+8.1% at current exchange rates) compared to Q1 2025.

That sees the luxury Italian fashion house pick up where it left off, having closed the 2025 fiscal year with record revenues - reporting turnover of €1.41 billion (£1.22 billion), which was up by 11.5%.

For Q1 2026, the company saw “outstanding performance” in the retail channel, up 20.1% at constant exchange rates, and a very positive contribution from the wholesale channel, with growth of 4.3% at constant exchange rates.

There was also “highly favourable performance” across all geographical areas, with growth at constant exchange rates of 20.3% in the Americas, +4.4% in Europe and +17.8% in Asia - and double-digit retail channel growth across all three continents.

Brunello Cucinelli, Executive Chairman and Creative Director of his eponymous brand, said: “The first quarter of 2026 ended with a 14% increase in revenue, a result we may confidently regard as excellent. On a global level, the brand’s elevated image - positioned within the most exclusive tier of luxury - remains very robust, and we believe it is enjoying the finest moment in our history.

“In light of the above, as well as the strong appreciation garnered by the autumn/winter 2026 menswear and womenswear collections - described by the international trade press and leading global buyers as perhaps ‘the most beautiful in our history’ - we look to the current year with particular confidence, anticipating revenue growth of around 10%, with a similar outlook for 2027.”
