PARIS — Chanel’s revenues are increasing in the high-single digits after returning to growth last year, as the company reorganized its teams and bolstered its manufacturing capacity under new creative director Matthieu Blazy.
The French fashion house said full-year revenues rose 3 percent at reported exchange rates to $19.3 billion, representing an increase of 1.8 percent in comparable terms. This marked a turnaround from the previous year, when revenues were down 4.3 percent at comparable rates amid a sharp slowdown in spending in mainland China.
While operating profit rose 5.2 percent to $4.7 billion, net income fell 14.3 percent to $2.9 billion in 2025.
Blazy presented a critically acclaimed first collection in October, but the annual results did not reflect the “Chanelmania” that greeted the arrival of the products in stores in March 2026.
Last year’s advance was fueled by a 7.2 percent rise in organic sales in the Americas. Europe grew 2.5 percent, driven by France, Italy and Spain, while revenue was down 0.8 percent in the Asia-Pacific region, despite improving trends in some countries such as South Korea and Japan — indicating the Chinese market remains anemic.
