Around £43billion has been wiped off the value of Europe’s biggest luxury houses this year so far.
The sector is grappling with a slowdown in demand from wealthy US and Chinese shoppers.
Of the five top luxury giants, including LVMH, Hermes, Kering, Moncler and Richemont, only the latter has not lost ground since the end of 2023.
The firms have since lost just under €50billion – or £42.7billion – in market value, analysts Hargreaves Lansdown said.
