The three quarter results of group Levi Strauss & Co. have brought new hope to its competition in the cowboy market.

In addition, from the performance of the group in the first 9 months, net income decreased by 3.34% and revenue grew by 2.3%.

The three quarter revenues were 25 thousand and 800 US dollars and 17 thousand US dollars, respectively, down 9.6% and 0.2%, while the Americas grew 2.2% to 71 thousand US dollars, but in the first half of the month, revenues in the Americas decreased by 3%.

Group said that in the Americas, the three quarter revenue growth is mainly in the wholesale channel to introduce new products, such as Levi's women cowboy collection brand.

During the 9 months, the decline in revenue was mainly due to the decision of the group to withdraw from the brand last year.
