LVMH Q3 2026: China Drag Weighs on Fashion, While Jewelry and Retail Shine

LVMH reported €57.1 billion in revenue for the first nine months of 2026, with organic growth of 2%. The group’s performance was mixed, with strong gains in Watches & Jewelry and Selective Retailing offsetting a significant 5% organic decline in the Fashion & Leather Goods division. This weakness was primarily driven by a sharp slowdown in Chinese consumer demand, while the United States and Europe showed resilience. The company maintains its confidence in its strategy despite the uncertain global economic environment.

Record €5m Wine Heist Strikes Historic Antinori Winery in Tuscany

A gang of at least seven masked individuals stole 30,000 bottles of high-value wine worth €5m from the Marchesi Antinori winery in Cortona, Tuscany. The theft, discovered on Monday morning, involved disabling alarms and using company forklifts to load two trucks with 2023 vintage bottles, including Solaia and Tignanello. CEO Renzo Cotarella called it the largest wine theft in Italian history, noting that Tuscan road cameras may aid recovery. The incident highlights a recent surge in wine thefts in Italy, though this scale is unprecedented. No arrests have been made, and the company has warned customers against buying its wine through unofficial channels.

Omega Launches Six Bond and Spectre Seamasters to Fill Five-Year Franchise Gap

Omega has released a six-piece Seamaster Diver 300M collection themed around James Bond and the fictional villain organization Spectre, marking the brand's first dedicated 'villain' edition.

EU ban on destroying unsold goods tightens luxury brands' inventories

EU ban on destroying unsold goods tightens luxury brands' inventories

From July, EU rules bar the destruction of unsold fashion items, forcing luxury groups to rethink stock and pricing since destruction has been a key scarcity tool. Brands such as Chanel, Prada, LVMH and Inditex face higher inventory costs or expanded discount channels, and must balance donation and repair options with tighter production. The changes could boost real-time inventory planning, drive new resale pathways, and increase demand for smarter stock management while preserving brand value.

Middle East turmoil slows LVMH’s luxury rebound in Q1

LVMH’s first-quarter sales rose 1% like-for-like to €19.1bn, but the Middle East conflict dampened demand and shaved about a point of growth, with fashion and leather goods down 2% to €9.24bn. Europe and Japan declined ~3%, while Asia outside Japan led gains (+7%) and the US was up 3%; watches and jewelry rose 7% led by Tiffany and Bvlgari. Analysts still foresee a luxury recovery in 2026 aided by new designers at Dior and Celine, though consumer confidence remains fragile. Shares have fallen roughly 25% this year.

Luxury Goods' Shift from Durability to Disposability

Recent viral videos and consumer complaints reveal that some high-end luxury brands like Miu Miu and Maison Margiela are producing products that fall apart quickly, raising concerns about declining quality in the luxury sector due to cost-cutting, outsourcing, and a focus on profits over craftsmanship. This has sparked social media outrage and calls for industry reform, with experts noting a shift away from traditional artisanal practices and a rise in mid-market brands emphasizing quality and value.
