Victoria Beckham has taken decisive steps by injecting a substantial £6.9 million into her fashion and beauty businesses. This move comes as part of a turnaround strategy following a financial loss of £3 million in 2024. The investment aims to bolster the brand’s product lines and enhance inventory levels, with £3 million specifically allocated to the fashion label for new ranges, such as belts and bags, and an additional £3.9 million toward boosting inventory at Victoria Beckham Beauty.
The umbrella company, Victoria Beckham Holdings, has reported a narrowed loss of £3 million compared to a £3.3 million loss the previous year. Importantly, revenue figures have shown a significant upward trajectory, reaching £89 million last year, up from £59 million in 2022. This surge is attributed to successful new product lines, with belts comprising over 20% of online sales and a popular new perfume collection enhancing the beauty division’s performance.
