Chanel's comparable revenue jumped ​about 16% in the ​first half of ‌2026, outpacing ​rivals, thanks to creative director Matthieu Blazy's new collections, Bloomberg News reported on ‌Tuesday, citing a person familiar with the French luxury group's performance. Blazy's first collections, which landed in stores in March, ‌have helped the privately-owned Parisian fashion house buck an industry-wide ‌slowdown reflected in quarterly results of its listed peers LVMH and Hermes, whose modest sales growth failed to convince investors.
