Jacquemus marks 10th anniversary, expects sales growth

Simon Porte Jacquemus has announced his brand's first unisex fashion show to celebrate ten years in business. Slated for June 24 of this year, the show will take place in the designer's home region of Provence.

Jacquemus' namesake label has been growing steadily in recent seasons, grabbing attention through Instagrammable and celeb-favored accessories like its mini Le Chiquito handbag that debuted on the runway earlier this year.

The bag, which retails around 430 dollars, has a depth of just 2.4 inches yet increased Jacquemus' social media impressions by 1,831 percent. It only took a few weeks for the style to sell out in multiple colorways; now Le Chiquito has accounted for at least 30 percent of the brand's total revenue, according to WWD.

The designer told WWD that he expects the Jacquemus brand's sales to increase by 11.5 million euros from last year, totaling between 23 million and 25 million euros in 2019.
