Kering Eyewear Reports 6% Q3 Revenue Growth Amid Creative Leadership Changes at Saint Laurent and Alexander McQueen

Kering Eyewear reported a 6% increase in third-quarter revenue to €373 million, with first-half nine-month revenue reaching €1.338 billion. The division attributed this growth to innovation and commercial execution across all regions, specifically citing the launch of Maui Jim’s Fall Winter 2026 collection and initiatives marking Lindberg’s 40th anniversary. This performance contrasts with a 3% comparable decline in the broader Kering Fashion & Leather Goods segment, driven by Gucci’s ongoing turnaround. Meanwhile, creative departures at Saint Laurent and Alexander McQueen have raised questions about future eyewear design directions, though Kering Eyewear’s centralized teams are expected to maintain brand continuity for wholesale partners during the transition.
