Kering is a France-based global luxury-goods group that designs, develops and markets fashion, leather goods, jewelry, watches, eyewear and beauty products. Its portfolio includes internationally recognized brands such as Gucci, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, Brioni, Boucheron, Pomellato, Qeelin and Ginori 1735. Kering Eyewear develops and distributes eyewear for its own and other luxury brands.
The company traces its origins to 1963, when François Pinault founded a timber-trading business that later expanded into retail and was known as Pinault-Printemps-Redoute, or PPR. Following the group’s strategic shift toward luxury and lifestyle brands, it adopted the name Kering in 2013. Kering’s products are sold through brand-operated boutiques, e-commerce platforms, wholesale partners and other distribution channels.
Kering serves customers internationally, with operations and sales across Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific and other major luxury markets. François-Henri Pinault serves as chairman of the board, while Luca de Meo became the group’s chief executive officer in September 2025. Kering’s shares trade on Euronext Paris, and its American depositary receipts trade over the counter under the symbol PPRUY.
