Richemont is a Swiss-based holding company that owns a collection of luxury brands, including Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and IWC Schaffhausen. It operates by acquiring and nurturing iconic luxury maisons with rich histories, then leveraging their heritage to create premium jewelry, watches, and accessories sold worldwide through its brands and retail networks. Unlike diversified conglomerates that mix many non-luxury businesses, Richemont focuses exclusively on high-end goods and has deliberately shifted away from other interests (like tobacco) to sharpen its luxury focus. Its goal is to build a global luxury powerhouse by growing its brands, expanding across geographies, and maintaining control over premium product sourcing, design, and distribution.

↑ 1%US luxury watchmaker Jacob & Co hires ex-Richemont lawyer as general counsel. Joseph Forgione arrives after four years at the Swiss luxury brand owner's New York office 22 July 2026 Luxury US watchmaker Jacob & Co has hired former Richemont lawyer Joseph Forgione as general counsel. Forgione leaves Richemont after four years, where he was legal counsel. He brings more than 20 years of luxury retail experience to his new role, notably around IP and commercial transactions. At Jacob & Co, he will provide legal oversight in all areas of the company's global operations, including IP protection and enforcement, commercial contracts, strategic transactions, corporate governance and compliance. He will serve as a senior member of Jacob & Co's executive team. New York-based Jacob & Co designs luxury watches and other high-end jewellery. Advertisement Writing on LinkedIn, Forgione said: "I'm very pleased to share that, after four excellent years at Richemont, I've started a new position as general counsel at Jacob & Co. I'm looking forward to collaborating with a talented group of colleagues and working on some very exciting initiatives in this role." Prior to joining Richemont in 2022, Forgione spent more than a decade at anti-counterfeiting specialist Gioconda Law Group in New York, where he was group director. Before that he was a legal assistant at Chanel, also in New York. Jacob & Co told Bloomberg that Forgione's "many years of legal experience and deep industry relationships" will help support the business with legal strategy, advice and risk mitigation. LAW OVER BORDERS COMPARATIVE GUIDES Luxury Law Guide This third edition provides answers and insight into how luxury businesses can protect their brands in a range of jurisdictions... | 2yrs. Forgione's exit from Richemont comes three years after the Swiss luxury brand owner named former Kraft Heinz international legal head Thomas Loest as its new group GC. Richemont owns brands including Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels. In other in-house fashion and luxury-related moves, earlier this month designer brand-owner PVH said it was lining up Elisheva Hirshman as its next chief legal officer, replacing Mark Fischer who is stepping down later this year. PVH owns fashion labels Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein. Back in January last year, Rosewood Hotels hired former Kempinski GC Hadrian Beltrametti Walker as vice president for legal, overseeing all legal matters for the hotel group's EMEA and Caribbean business. And in November 2024, Swiss luxury watchmaker Rolex hired Alexander Troller as GC from disputes specialist law firm LALIVE. Troller is Rolex's first GC in the company's roughly 120-year history.
Burberry's US sales boost growth as turnaround gains momentum. The British brand's sales grew across all product ranges for the first time in three years, though shares fell as investors shift focus to its efforts to drive further profitability. 17 July 2026 Burberry Group Plc's sales grew across all its ranges for the first time in three years after completing the first stage of its turnaround, as investors shift their focus to the brand's efforts to drive further profitability. Same-store sales rose 5 percent in the first quarter ended June, Burberry said Friday, broadly in line with analyst estimates. Sales grew 12 percent in the Americas at the start of the key summer season, and 9 percent in Greater China. Shares of Burberry fell as much as 4 percent in early trading in London on Friday, however, giving back most of their gain over the past two days that was driven by optimism over rival Richemont's outperformance in China and the US. Chief executive officer Joshua Schulman began a turnaround of the British luxury brand two years ago, cutting inventory, dropping prices and refocusing on its signature items. His strategy to improve product displays, including with mannequins and scarf bars, has helped draw in old and new customers. "It is in the group's strong outperformance in China where Burberry continues to see most traction vs peers," Jefferies analysts including James Grzinic said in a note. But the biggest levers for profit recovery, including resetting prices and costs, are now behind Burberry, "leaving future margin recovery largely dependent on comparable same store sales outperformance," they added. The British luxury brand highlighted sales of its rainwear with its "Portraits of an Icon" campaign, featuring celebrities from Teyana Taylor to Wu Lei. While sales are increasing, especially in crucial markets like China, the industry as a whole has been hurt by the war in Iran. Burberry's stock was down 12 percent so far this year through Thursday's close. Burberry is less exposed than other luxury retailers to the war, with the Middle East accounting for roughly 2 percent of sales prior to the conflict. Even so the fallout dragged down sales across the wider region that includes Europe, and the 3 percent drop was more than analysts expected. Gen Z customers in China are picking up Burberry items, while South Korea has become a bright spot with sales up 11 percent in the quarter. But the Asia Pacific region grew less than expected, as Japan faced a drop in tourism from China. By Jillian Deutsch

(Photo by Peter White/Getty Images) Richemont's share price soared 7.5% on the JSE following the publication of the results. Fashion and accessories sales were up 9% at the Swiss luxury group, which also owns Alaïa, Dunhill and Van Cleef & Arpels. Sales at its jewellery maisons were up 24% to €4.73bn (£4bn) during the quarter. Sales increased in low-to-mid-double digits in almost all regions. European sales were up 11% to €1.43bn (£1.21bn), Asia Pacific sales were up 21% to €2.07bn (£1.75bn), Americas were up 27% to €1.67bn (£1.41bn), Japanese sales were up 36% to €632m (£535.6bn). The Middle East and Africa was the only region in which sales increased in the low single digits, up 3% to €530m (£449.1bn). By channel, its retail stores saw a 24% spike in sales growth to €4.5bn (£3.81bn); online was up 18% to €373m (£316.1m); and wholesale and royalty income was up 9% to €1.45bn (£1.22bn). Richemont did not share an outlook for fiscal 2027, but cited a "persistently volatile macroeconomic environment and geopolitical backdrop driving elevated raw material costs". The group's net cash position stood at €9.1bn (£7.7bn) as of 30 June, including €400m (£339m) from the sale of its stake in Swiss travel company Avolta in early June.
Richemont Invests €12 Million to Double Leather Goods Plant in Scandicci, Tuscany Luxury group strengthens its Florence-area manufacturing hub, with workforce set to reach 300 employees by year-end. Jun 30, 2026 | News Richemont, the Swiss luxury group, has completed a €12 million investment to expand and modernise its leather goods facility in Scandicci, near Florence, confirming Tuscany's continued strategic relevance for high-end manufacturing. The plant, now renamed Pelletteria Richemont Firenze (PRF), has grown from 5,000 to 12,000 square metres and was officially inaugurated on 23 June in the presence of Richemont Group CEO Nicolas Bos and local institutional representatives. A shared platform for five luxury brands The renovated facility now houses design, development and prototyping for handbags - and in some cases footwear - for five of the group's maisons: Cartier, Montblanc, Serapian, Dunhill and Chloé. It also hosts the group's repair centre serving Europe and the Middle East. While each brand retains dedicated spaces for creative and prototyping work, the site introduces a shared model for cutting operations, leather testing, warehousing, maintenance, and administrative, finance and HR functions. Long-term commitment to Tuscan craftsmanship The investment comes at a sensitive moment for Tuscany's luxury leather goods district, which has recently faced layoffs and production slowdowns. "We don't look at the short term, but at the long term," said Domenico Oliveri, Industrial Director of Richemont's Fashion & Accessories division. "We believe in manufacturing as a source of value, and this investment carries significant weight for the future of the leather goods business." Workforce growth and a stronger supply chain Employment at the site has grown from 150 to 250 over the past three years and is expected to reach 300 by the end of 2026, as expansion works - including a larger in-house cutting centre - are completed. Richemont also works with around 100 external Italian workshops employing more than 2,000 people, 60% of them based in Tuscany. The group plans to further internalise bag production by acquiring external workshops in the future. Craftsmanship at the core "We want to keep raising quality standards," said Cesare Landi, CEO of Pelletteria Richemont Firenze, highlighting the full internalisation of leather cutting as a strategic step that also reduces waste. "Technology and innovation matter, but artisanal skill and expertise will always make the difference." Institutional recognition Lapo Baroncelli, President of Confindustria Toscana Centro e Costa, welcomed the investment as evidence that Tuscan manufacturing excellence continues to evolve through research, innovation and skilled craftsmanship. Scandicci Mayor Claudia Sereni described the new plant as a strong signal of confidence in the area's expertise, quality of work and generations-long manufacturing tradition.
