It terms of revenge, it contributes 5% to the business but the country’s revenue is growing by 20%.

But we continue to explore,” said Bariguian.Brand’s 95% of the luggage production is out of Asia.“We are expecting growth in revenue from 2027 onwards. We have a very strong pipeline of innovations, probably the biggest timeline of innovation we had in a decade.
