Cautious, positive and rhythmic to push the market forward.

Poletto said that in the past few years, when

Busy controlling the number of stores, Furla's retail strategy has been changing dynamically, including targeting the world's major cities, but never targeting large stores.

Poletto said: "we have not speeded up this expansion."

He defined the company's strategy as "prudent and positive" to balance the market.

"This is an excellent opportunity for us in the retail era."

The Furla brand has expanded to 100 countries and has more than more than 1100 brand stores.

In the first half of this year, retail sales increased from an increase of 69%.

Furla is currently developing categories of men's accessories and footwear.

Industry analysts say that the consumption of outbound Chinese consumers is huge, and most of them aim to save money for luxury brands.

Due to the high tariffs in China, the discount price of a Furla luxury handbag in Rome is at least two times or even more than three times the local price. Due to the attractive price difference, Furla has become one of the hottest brands of domestic consumers in Europe. One report indicates that the purchase from Chinese consumers has contributed a high proportion of income to Furla.

Also, as CEO Poletto suggests, Furla is not as explosive as other luxury brands in the past few years in China and Hongkong, but to prudently and actively balance the market.

In addition, Furla emphasizes that luxury is not equal to high price, and the strategy of high performance price ratio has won a large number of ordinary consumers in China.
