Levi’s Q2 Sales in Europe Rise 15% Amid Elevated Omnichannel Experiences

Levi's Q2 sales in Europe grew 15% driven by DTC-first approach and elevated omnichannel experiences. The brand tapped into cultural moments like Beyoncé's "Reiimagine" campaign and Oasis band tees, sponsored stages at Primavera Sound, and empowered store managers through the "CEO of the Store" initiative. Omnichannel efforts, including the Red Tab loyalty program, also contributed to growth.

Levi Strauss & Co. (NYSE: LEVI) reported a 15% increase in sales in Europe during the second quarter of 2025, driven by a DTC-first approach and elevated omnichannel experiences. The company's strategic marketing efforts, including the "Reiimagine" campaign featuring Beyoncé and the release of Oasis band tees, have successfully tapped into cultural moments and events such as Primavera Sound. Additionally, the "CEO of the Store" initiative and the expanding Red Tab loyalty program have contributed to the company's growth in the region.

The company's marketing efforts have been well-received, with a focus on local and global strategies that resonate with audiences worldwide. The multi-part "Reiimagine" campaign, featuring Beyoncé, and the release of Oasis band tees have successfully tapped into the excitement surrounding two of this summer's most anticipated tours. Furthermore, the brand sponsored dedicated Levi's stages and outfitted performers like Troye Sivan at the Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona [2].

Levi's Europe has seen a 9% increase in DTC sales, which the company attributes to hyper-local retail experiences at its over 700 stores in the region. The "CEO of the Store" initiative empowers store managers to make decisions that make sense for their stores, including influencing placement and price and running each store as if they were individual companies. The brand's omnichannel efforts are also taking off, with the transformation of its distribution center in Northampton, England, into Europe's first omnichannel fulfillment hub. This hub integrates e-commerce and retail operations to better serve consumers, wherever they choose to shop. The expanding Red Tab loyalty program has also contributed to the growth in omnichannel sales, with over 60% of these sales coming from loyalty members in some European markets like the UK [2].

Lucia Marcuzzo, managing director for Levi’s Europe, stated, "Our Q2 earnings prove what’s possible when we lead with agility, deliver with discipline and stay relentlessly fan obsessed. Europe is moving fast and so are we. I’m incredibly proud of how our teams are bringing our strategy to life on the ground, adapting in real time and building momentum through brand elevation and putting fans at the heart of everything we do."

These strategic initiatives have positioned Levi Strauss & Co. to capitalize on the growing demand for denim and apparel in Europe, despite the challenges posed by tariffs and other global economic uncertainties.
