Antler announces positive end of year results for its FY25 trading year (1st March 2024 to 29th February 2025). The British Travel Brand ended the year with global sales of £45M, securing its third consecutive year of double-digit growth from FY22 to FY25 and on track to reach £100M by FY29. The UK remains the brand’s highest performing market, supported by 120% growth across key strategic wholesale partners including John Lewis, Selfridges and Fenwick. Representing over 50% of total sales up +16% on last year.
Australia continues to be Antler’s second largest market, at 40% of the sales mix also in YOY growth +7%. Building on their international expansion plan, 2024 saw Antler invest in its first bricks-and-mortar store in Australia, with the opening of a retail location in Sydney.
“Opening our first store in Sydney in November was a significant milestone for the brand in Australia. As The British Travel Brand, this dedicated retail space allowed us to bring Antler’s signature blend of modern British design, quality, and functionality directly to our Australian customer. The store has been thoughtfully designed to reflect our brand ethos – timeless elegance paired with practical innovation. Since opening, we’ve been delighted by the response from travellers, reinforcing the strong demand for well-crafted, design-led travel essentials.” said Kirsty Glenne, Managing Director of Antler.
The US closed +43% in FY24, supported by launches with leading department stores Bloomingdales and Nordstrom and opening of New York store.
FY25 marked the convergence of Antler’s brand reimagination and a renewed product strategy, brought to life for the first time with the launch of the Icon Stripe collection in April 2024. The brand’s now best-selling collection was the first to be designed under the leadership of Managing Director Kirsty Glenne.
The new trading year FY26 will see Antler’s continued investment in brand, product, and people to cement its positioning as The British Travel Lifestyle Brand with further expansion into new product categories beyond luggage. A strategic focus on travel bags and accessories is forecasted to grow the brand’s portfolio by 310% by the end of 2025. April 2025 will also see the launch of the brand’s most premium collection yet. The Heritage Collection is over two years in the making – an ode to the brand’s 110-year travel and design legacy.
Building on three consecutive years of double-digit growth and a strong legacy in luggage, Antler is poised to further elevate its presence as a global, cult British travel brand. With plans to redefine consumer expectations and continue its expansion into new categories, FY26 is set to be Antler’s most exciting and innovative year yet.
