According to a local media in Italy, the latest survey released by a consulting firm in Milan showed that in 2014, Italy luxury brands went out of an impressive growth path in the country's economic downturn.

The report mentioned that in September 2014, some of the major brands in the Italy fashion industry, including Ferragamo, Tod 's leather, Brunello Cucinelli of cashmere and Luxottica of spectacle tycoons, were recorded or high or low income growth.

Italy's well-known leather goods brand Prada declined slightly 0.9% in the first 3 quarters of last year, but the global fashion giant brand still earned a total of 2 billion 500 million dollars.

The report concluded that the luxury industry in Italy is a better buffer against Italy's economic crisis than other industries in the country.

The report highlighted the fact that luxury brands in Italy were not affected by the downturn in the two main emerging markets, China and Russia.

However, according to the Italy Ansha news agency, because of the sluggish domestic consumption in Italy, the discount time for brands was earlier than in previous years.

It is reported that consumption in Italy has dropped by 7.3% in 2014, but 50% of Italians are still willing to buy more during the discount season.
