Komehyo’s brand fashion business sales jump 159% in October

Komehyo Holdings announced a robust performance for its brand fashion business in October 2025, with sales reaching 18,393 million yen, a substantial 159.0% increase compared to the previous year. The retail sales ratio for October was 44.6%, and the tax-exempt sales ratio stood at 17.8%.

Individual purchases also saw strong growth, totaling 10,153 million yen in October, up 140.3% year-over-year. This was partly driven by the commencement of individual purchases in America from October 1st and the opening of one new buy-and-sell store in Hong Kong and two new sales stores in Malaysia and Singapore.

The company noted that the retail sales ratio improved by 0.9 percentage points month-over-month due to the recovery of tax-exempt sales. Additionally, increased purchases of gold, precious metals, and watches contributed significantly to both sales and individual purchases, with corporate sales also expanding. Corporate auctions indicated stable high prices for jewels and vintage items, while the gold and precious metals market saw an overall flat trend. Watches, however, saw an upward trend in some brands due to increased overseas demand driven by the weak yen.
