Significant increase in jewellery sales for Kering

by Monica C. Smith


Kering’s jewellery and watch divisions recorded an 18 per cent increase in sales in 2022 according to recently published financial reporting.

The French multinational corporation oversees brands such as Boucheron, Pomellato, DoDo and Qeelin and reported $US4.16 billion ($AU6.09 billion) in sales.

A spokesperson for Kering noted an increase in full-year sales of 15 per cent while profit increased by 14 per cent to $US3.87 billion ($AU5.67 billion).

“Our jewellery houses once again achieved outstanding progress and reached significant milestones,” the statement reads.

“Boucheron posted firm, steady increases, while Pomellato continued to perform well in western Europe and Japan. Qeelin increased at a rapid pace.”

CEO François-Henri Pinault noted that many of Kering’s brands posted record revenue and contributed to higher total operating income in 2022.

He added: “In an environment that remains uncertain, I have no doubt that 2023 will be another year of success for our houses and of development for our group.”

Founded in 1963, Kering owns luxury fashion brands such as Gucci, Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, and Alexander McQueen.

by Monica C. Smith

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you’ll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

If there’s one group of people you can trust most with your skin, it’s dermatologists. They come with years of expertise and medical knowledge, making them not only the best source for all of your most burning skin-care questions but also product recommendations. The market is oversaturated with skin-care brands, but dermatologist-owned skin-care brands are more few and far between.

As far as derm-owned brands go, you have the big ones like Murad, Dr. Brandt Skincare, Dr. Barbara Sturm, and Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare, which have been around for years, but more recently, more doctors have been launching their own lines, and our editors have been very impressed with the results. From ultrahydrating cleansers that melt away every trace of makeup to at-home peels that reveal brighter, smoother skin and serums that banish breakouts seemingly overnight, we all have our favorite dermatologist beauty products we can’t get enough of.

If you’re in the market for some new products, we have just the thing for you. Ahead, our editors are sharing the best products from dermatologists’ brands that deserve a spot in your vanity. Keep scrolling to shop the product picks.
