Jimmy Choo, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, said it has also benefited from the weaker pound following Britain’s decision to leave the EU.
Operating profit increased by 42.6% to £25.3 million, although pre-tax profit dropped to £6.6 million from £20.2 million.
The shares stepped up 6.5p to 124.25p, but are still languishing below the 140p Jimmy Choo floated at in October 2014.
Like its rivals, Jimmy Choo has had to cope with a slowdown in the luxury goods sector, triggered in part by a crackdown on extravagant gifting in Hong Kong.
