Luxury footwear brand Manolo Blahnik recently announced that its like-for-like sales for the first eight months of 2021 surged by 81% compared to the previous year.

This figure also amounts to an 8% increase on 2019’s results, the company reported.

The brand is now forecasting triple-digit growth, due in part to increased demand experienced by its e-commerce business.

George Malkemus, who was responsible for scaling Manolo Blahnik in the United States and later partnered with actress (and “Manolos” fan) Sarah Jessica Partner on her own eponymous footwear label, passed away from cancer late last month.
