Significant rise in sales at Coach
US-based leather luxury goods brand Coach, Inc. has reported net sales of $836 million for its second fiscal quarter ended December 30—29% higher than the $650 million reported in the same period of the prior year. Net income rose 31% to $227 million compared with $174 million in the prior year.
Lew Frankfort, chairman and CEO, attributed a significant portion of the growth to the rapid expansion of its handbag and accessory category.
