Burberry has returned to profit over the summer after its strategy drove strong sales of coats, jackets, and handbags, the Guardian reported. Chief executive Joshua Schulman said a democratic approach enabled the luxury brand to outperform a challenging market. [1]

The British company reported sales growth of 6% during the six months to September 26, according to the Guardian. Growth was aided by strong online and wholesale performance, particularly in China and the United States. [1]

The Guardian reported that Burberry generated a pre-tax profit of £19m during the six-month period, up from a loss of £48m a year earlier. Total sales for the period rose to £1.1b. [1]
