Revenues at Italian luxury group Salvatore Ferragamo fell by 7.2% at constant exchange rates in the third quarter of the year, hit by weak demand in Asia, the company said on Tuesday.

Revenues totaled 221 million euros ($241 million) in the period, below analyst expectations of 229 million euros, according to a consensus cited by analysts.

"The current context adds pressure on our top-line and profitability, therefore delaying the timing of the delivery of our financial objectives" Chief Executive Marco Gobbetti said in a statement.

The group foresees that the operating result for the full year will be at the lowest end of analysts' current estimates, it said in the statement.

PUMA Opens New Creative Hub to Foster Excellence in Design

Sports company PUMA has opened Studio48, a new creative hub at its headquarters in Herzogenaurach, Germany, where its designers and creatives can come together to freely develop new ideas and create concepts for new performance and Sportstyle products as well as campaigns.

Studio48 is part of the company’s strategy to create sustainable growth by elevating the brand.

“With the new Studio48 we are creating a significant tool to enhance the excellence of our designs and elevate the brand,” said PUMA’s Vice President Creative Direction & Innovation Heiko Desens. “While many of our products are created digitally, Studio48 will be a space for a different kind of creativity, where our designers from different departments can brainstorm together, exchange best practices, experience new materials and touch and feel the products they want to make.”

While Studio48 can be used by the company’s designers and creatives all year round, the space will also play an important part when hosting external partners or bringing PUMA’s global design community together for workshops and events.

As part of the opening event in December, PUMA hosted a workshop at Studio48 by US-based upcycler Nicole McLaughlin, who shared her vision on circularity. The event was joined by PUMA designers across all product categories from several of the company’s worldwide locations.
