Bimba y Lola maintains its growth pace, boosted by its international business

Madrid – Spanish fashion and accessories firm Bimba y Lola has once again demonstrated its solid business model. The company has successfully navigated a challenging first half of 2026, as reflected in the key financial figures released for the first half of its new fiscal year.

According to information provided this week by Bimba y Lola's management and reported by the Europa Press agency, the firm founded by sisters María and Uxía Domínguez completed the first half of its current fiscal year, from March 1 to August 31, with a 6 percent increase in sales compared to the same period last year. As is customary, the company has not disclosed the total sales figure. This growth rate represents a slight slowdown compared to the 7 percent recorded in the first half of 2025 and the 6.83 percent at the close of the full 2025 financial year. However, the company has successfully maintained its solid mid-single-digit growth, consistent with its recent financial reports.

Breaking down the performance for the first half of 2026 by channel, Bimba y Lola reported sustained growth in both its physical and online sales. In-store turnover grew by 5 percent year-over-year, in line with the 5.48 percent recorded for the 2025 financial year. This was supported by a retail network of 321 points of sale across 34 markets in Europe, America and Asia at the end of the period. This figure remains unchanged from the 321 points of sale reported by the company at the end of the 2025 financial year.

Meanwhile, in the online channel, digital sales also cooled, with growth slowing from 12 percent in 2025 to 8 percent. This slowdown has impacted its share of the company's turnover, which has decreased from 22 percent to 20 percent of Bimba y Lola's total business.

Increased importance of international business

Looking at the company's performance by market, Bimba y Lola has highlighted a key trend, although not all details have been provided. Separating sales generated in Spain from those in other markets, Spain accounted for 53 percent of Bimba y Lola's total turnover in the first half of the year. The remaining 47 percent was generated outside the country.

Comparing these figures with those from the end of the last fiscal year reveals a growing trend towards Bimba y Lola's increasing international presence. The company has increased the weight of its international operations by 5 percentage points, from 42 percent of annual global revenue at the end of 2025 to the current 47 percent at the end of the first half of the year. This is also 3 percentage points higher than the 44 percent recorded at the end of the same period last year.

Uncertainty over impact on profits

Given that the first half of the year was marked by growing and sustained macroeconomic and international tensions, primarily stemming from the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the situation in the Middle East involving Iran and the US, the question remains as to what extent this slight slowdown in Bimba y Lola's growth has affected its profitability. The Galician company is only likely to report on these indicators at the end of the financial year. This follows its approach for the 2025 financial year, which it completed with a 433 percent year-over-year increase in net profit, reaching eight million euros.
