  In the past year it has opened 21 new stores and closed nine. It plans to open 20-30 stores this year worldwide.
  The group has also focused on promoting the Burberry brand online.
  Sales rose 7% to £1.28bn, with the company recording double-digit sales growth in Europe and Asia Pacific.

  Burberry shares were up 7.6% at 659 pence in afternoon trading.
