Shares of Hermes International (EPA: RMS) have gained about 2% today to log fresh record highs after the luxury retailer reported rising sales.

The maker of luxury handbags, such as the iconic Birkin model, saw its comparable sales came in at 1.8 billion euros ($2.13 billion) in the three months ending September.

Comparable sales were mostly supported by an 8% jump in sales of leather goods. Overall, sales are still 11% down since the beginning of the year.
