The total sales of clothes and shoes increased by 6.5 and 9.8 percent respectively compared to March 2024.
In e-commerce with countries, sales increased by as much as 21.2 percent, while the increase in physical stores stopped at 2.2 percent. Shoe sales rose by 10.4 percent.
According to Sofia Larsen, CEO of Svensk Handel, the fine spring weather may be behind this.
"We should be cautious not to draw too far-reaching conclusions about a single month, but of course hope that this positive trend continues going forward," she says in a press release.
