Moncler said revenues came in at 332 million euros (293 million pounds), slightly above a Thomson Reuters estimate of 315.5 million euros. At constant exchange rates sales rose 28 percent compared to the same period in 2017.

In Asia, first quarter sales rose 27 percent at current exchange rates, with China's mainland and Hong Kong largely outperforming the growth of the region, a statement said.

The group added it had 205 directly operated stores around the world at the end of March, with a net increase of two boutiques with respect to the end of last year.
