CPRI's Jimmy Choo Builds Momentum With Revenue Growth Across Regions
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Jimmy Choo's Q1 revenues rose 10.5% to $179 million, led by 26% growth in the Americas.
Strong accessories demand and targeted campaigns boosted customer engagement, with VIP sales climbing 40%.
CPRI's Jimmy Choo operating margin rose 480 basis points to 7.3%, while operating income reached $13 million.
Capri Holdings Limited (CPRI - Free Report) is building momentum at Jimmy Choo through product innovation, targeted marketing and stronger customer engagement. Expanding accessories and casual footwear offerings are broadening customer appeal, while an enhanced pricing architecture is attracting younger shoppers without compromising luxury positioning. These initiatives are building the brand’s foundation for sustainable growth.
In first-quarter fiscal 2027, Jimmy Choo’s revenues increased 10.5% year over year to $179 million, exceeding management’s expectations. Constant-currency growth was 9.3%. Revenues rose 26% in the Americas, 5% in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) and 3% in Asia. Retail and wholesale both recorded low-double-digit growth, with North American department stores delivering double-digit point-of-sale increases.
Marketing efforts reinforced consumer connections. The Natural Reflection campaign featured the Glace Mule, Jelly Drop sandal and Cinch bag. An influencer trip to Nice brought together 16 creators with more than 36 million combined followers, generating nearly 50 million impressions. Curated Bon Bon client events drove a 40% increase in very important client sales, while Jimmy Choo’s global consumer database expanded 7% year over year.
Accessories sales grew at a double-digit pace, with Bon Bon and Cinch performing strongly and Bar and Curve styles broadening brand reach. Management also reported encouraging dress and casual footwear performance, highlighting the Faiz lace pump, Margot Flat and Sunny sneaker. Campaigns featuring Wang Yibo and Bai Lu strengthened visibility in Asia, complementing efforts to attract new customers.
Higher revenues improved expense leverage, lifting operating income to $13 million from $4 million and expanding the operating margin by 480 basis points to 7.3%. However, channel mix primarily drove a 170-basis-point decline in gross margin to 68.7%. Capri’s adjusted fiscal 2027 outlook anticipates approximately $635 million in Jimmy Choo revenues and a low-single-digit operating margin. Continued product innovation and deeper consumer engagement remain central to turning the brand’s regional momentum into sustained profitable growth.
