The fall of Gucci was inevitable

"We got used to hearing about double-digit growth at Gucci," Fflur Roberts, the head of luxury goods at Euromonitor, told Business Insider. "I think of what a fashion editor is wearing — it's not Gucci," Lindsey Solomon, a fashion publicist, told BI. After taking the top spot on the Lyst Index of fashion's hottest brands in 2022, Gucci dropped to number 11 last quarter. "We still believe the Gucci brand's current growth rate, which is 10 times higher than that of the industry, represents a risk going forward," Morningstar's Sokolova wrote in a 2017 note. Gucci relied heavily on China for its growth, but stores — perhaps including this one in China's Hainan Province — have struggled recently.

After three years of record growth, luxury companies are feeling the pain as sales slow to a more normal pace. Nowhere have the struggles of the luxury sector been more prominent than in the French conglomerate LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton , the group's bellwether. This dynamic tends to hurt the less-prestigious luxury brands more, according to Rogerio Fujimori, an analyst at Stifel. "Chinese [consumers] are back to Southeast Asia and Japan, but there's still a long way to go in terms of Europe. LVMH and other European luxury brands have been market leaders among European equities since 2021 until the first half of 2023.

Luxury goods mogul Bernard Arnault is the world's richest person. Eric Piermont/Getty ImagesBernard Arnault is currently the world's richest person with a net worth of about $201 billion, according to estimates by Bloomberg. He's only the third person to surpass the $200 billion mark following tech moguls Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk, both of whom have since seen their wealth fall. Arnault cofounded LVMH in the 1980s, and is its CEO and chair. Last year LVMH raised the age limit of its CEO from 75 to 80, extending Arnault's possible tenure.
Luxury-goods mogul Bernard Arnault is the world's richest personEric Piermont/Getty ImagesBernard Arnault is the world's richest person with a net worth of about $182 billion, putting him $50 billion ahead of Elon Musk. Arnault cofounded LVMH in the 1980s, and is its CEO and chair. All four of Bernard's sons work at LVMH and its brands, too. "Succession planning in strategic roles has been instrumental to the success of LVMH's key brands over the past 20 years," Citi analyst Thomas Chauvet said, per Reuters. Last year LVMH raised the age limit of its CEO from 75 to 80, extending Arnault's possible tenure.
Pietro Beccari, who has been the head of Dior since 2018, is moving to replace long-time Louis Vuitton CEO Michael Burke, 65. Delphine Arnault, 47, has worked at Louis Vuitton for the past decade alongside Burke and previously spent a dozen years at Dior.

Alexandre Arnault, 30, is in charge of products and communication at Tiffany, while Frederic Arnault, 28, is CEO of another group brand, TAG Heuer. The youngest child, Jean Arnault, 24, heads marketing and product development for Louis Vuitton's watches division.
"LVMH's 3Q22 print will likely reassure on the health of the high-end consumer in the run-up to the festive season," said Thomas Chauvet of Citi. He said he had seen no signs that lower product categories were underperforming -- a category that has been closely eyed for signs of weakness. Analysts have been on the look out for signs of weakness in more aspirational products as younger shoppers face rising living costs. Guiony flagged a strong performance in watches -- luxury products that tend to do well in an inflationary environment because they hold their value. Hermes and Kering (PRTP.PA) report third quarter sales on Oct. 20.
PARIS, Oct 10 (Reuters) - French luxury groups LVMH (LVMH.PA), Gucci-owner Kering (PRTP.PA) and Hermes (HRMS.PA) are expected to post double-digit third-quarter sales growth as demand for high-end fashion from tourists and shoppers revamping post-pandemic wardrobes remains strong. Without citing a corresponding inflation figure, UBS estimates prices for the sector increased by 4.6% on average this year, through July. A Visible Alpha consensus cited by the bank points to 13% organic sales growth. Pusz expects 13% organic sales growth for Kering and 15% growth at constant rates from Hermes, over the period. LVMH posts third-quarter revenue on Oct. 11, while Kering and Hermes announce results on Oct. 20.
