Patrizio Bertelli, CEO
“I am satisfied with the progress made in 2017: in the second part of the year and in the first months of 2018 sales trends have been progressively improving; thus demonstrating the first significant results from our ongoing strategic initiatives across the Group.
The Group’s investment in the store portfolio, in boosting global brand visibility and in the enriched product offer is enhanced by a fast growing digital presence.
We have successfully improved our leather goods offer with increased newness at all price points, supporting fullprice sales.
The Prada brand has returned to growth across our key geographies.
We are confident that this new chapter, founded on our brands’ cultural heritage and iconic values, will be key to the Group’s success in an increasingly complex market. The launch of our campaign Black Nylon is emblematic of our new path towards the future whilst respecting our identity.
We have seen a promising start to 2018 – I would like to thank all Prada Group colleagues for their deep dedication over recent years aimed at returning the Group to growth. I am confident this is the beginning of a new phase of development.”
