For the week to February 23, 2019, total sales at John Lewis were down 4.8 percent on the same week last year. The company said in a statement that fashion sales rose by 1.1 percent, while menswear sales were up 3.1 percent with men’s branded casual clothing performing particularly well following the launch of its new collection of six independent menswear brands in 10 shops and online.

Warm weather products, including sunglasses, swimwear and shorts, were up 13 percent on last year. Home sales for the week under review, John Lewis added, were down 9.5 percent due to discounting and half term offers at competitors. Electrical and home technology sales were also down 6.9 percent.
