Antler announces strong end of year results for its FY26 trading year (1st March 2025 to 28th February 2026), marking its fourth consecutive year of double-digit growth. The British Travel Brand closed the year with global gross sales of £52M, up 17% last year, with sales nearly doubling over the past three years from £27.2M in FY23.
Growth was driven by continued strength across digital and wholesale channels; global digital sales increased by 14% year on year while wholesale grew 20%, supported by the expansion of international retail partnerships. This sustained performance has enabled Antler to accelerate its strategic growth, including the acquisition of Paravel as it expands into a House of Brands, the opening of its London flagship later in April 2026, new global headquarters and increased marketing investment, while continuing to grow profitably.
The UK remains Antler’s largest market, with gross sales up 17% YoY, Australia continues to follow as a second largest market, delivering 10% YoY growth. The US was Antler’s fastest-growing market, with gross sales increasing 83% driven by digital performance and significant expansion in wholesale partnerships including Nordstrom and Bloomingdale’s. US sales have now grown more than tenfold since FY23, underlining the strength of Antler’s global expansion strategy.
Building on this momentum, Antler also continued to expand its international footprint, signing new distribution agreements across South Korea, Saudi Arabia and Malaysia with leading retail and ecommerce channels, meeting growing demand for premium, design-led travel products and British heritage brands across Asia and the Middle East.
This year also marks several key milestones for Antler, including the imminent opening of its London flagship store on Regent Street with plans underway to scope new retail opportunities in the US later this year. Antler has also begun its expansion into a House of Brands following the acquisition of Paravel in August 2025 and undertaking of Nere’s international expansion, strengthening its position within the global travel and lifestyle category and unlocking new opportunities for growth.
Kirsty Glenne, who joined Antler as MD in 2022 following senior roles at Alexander McQueen and Dr. Barbara Sturm, has recently been appointed as CEO of Antler’s House of Brands, to lead the group through its next phase of growth. Glenne commented: “FY26 has been a defining year for Antler. Our fourth consecutive year of double-digital growth reflects the strength of our brand, product and global strategy. The acquisition of Paravel marks an exciting step as we begin to build a house of brands, broadening our reach within the travel lifestyle category, while remaining rooted in our design-led heritage.”
Antler is set to build on this momentum in FY27, as it continues its global expansion and evolution into a multi-brand travel and lifestyle business with a clear trajectory towards its target of £100M in revenue by FY29.
