Luxury Brands, Inflation, and Consumer Choices: A New Reality?
Welcome to a new episode of Business Lunch with your host Roland Frasier. In today’s episode, we delve into the current state of the luxury market, discussing its decline, consumer behavior changes, and implications for businesses. We examine factors like the pandemic's impact, Gen Z's preferences, and economic realities reshaping luxury consumerism. Join us as we explore what this means for the future of high-end brands and consumer experiences.
Highlights:
"Luxury is hurting; it's an indication of recession."
"Brands like Louis Vuitton made the mistake that Nike made with drop culture."
"The luxury brands are living in inflationary times of 2021-2022, not aligning with today's economic reality."
"If you are truly luxury, you can charge luxury prices, but the market has to agree that you are luxury."
