Boss, Hilfiger and Calvin Klein see sales increase in Ireland

Three of the world’s best-known clothing brands, Hugo Boss, Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein last year posted increased sales in Ireland, but their profits performance is mixed.

Hugo Boss last year opened up its first shop on Dublin’s Grafton Street and pre-tax profits fell 38% to €357,849, as sales increased 15% to €10.8m.

Yesterday, the shares of the German-owned group plunged almost 12.5% in Frankfurt after saying it won’t return to growth worldwide until 2018.
