Louis Vuitton was the first luxury brand to open a store on Andrássy út back in 2006, next to the Hungarian State Opera House. Later, Burberry, Gucci, Armani and Cavalli also opened their stores – although the latter two have been closed for years, the largest luxury brand store in the city center was il Bacio, associated with György Gattyán, which was also closed in 2015.
Earlier, Világgazdaság wrote that the pandemic spin in the luxury industry is over. Although the world’s largest luxury goods company, luxury giant LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton reported revenue of 86.15 billion euros for last year, an increase of 13 percent. While the net profit increased by 8 percent to 15.17 billion euros, and the company increased the annual dividend to 13 euros per share from last year’s 12 euros per share, the dynamics of growth slowed down.
