Strong performance for eyewear division

Kering Eyewear has posted revenues of €706m for 2021, representing an increase of 40% compared to 2020. The figures included three months of revenue from Lindberg, which was completed on September 30, 2021 and were 16.9% higher than pre-pandemic revenue in 2019.

Parent company Kering said that while there was an increase in the number of eyewear licenses, with the addition of Chloe and Dunhill in the early part of the year, they only made a marginal contribution to the growth in revenue. Instead, the company singled out Kering Eyewear’s excellent management, agility and capacity for innovation.
