Chief executive Patrizio Bertelli said the result for the 2013-2014 year, which ended in January, was the group's fourth consecutive year of "strong growth".

Sales in Asia and North America rose 11 percent, while the European market rose 5.0 percent - seen as a healthy result considering the economic difficulties.

Sales in the Middle East region were also up, reaching €90 million over the whole year.

But Japan saw only a 1.0 percent rise due to the devaluation of the yen, Prada said.
