Ferragamo says the luxury business outperformed the general industrial trend in 2013 despite the contraction in the second semester of the year. Unstable geopolitical scenarios, controversial news from China and severe weather conditions explain the deterioration in the second part of the year, according to the group, who believes travel retail has good growth potential in Asia, Middle East and the US.
