The Timeless Principles of Building Luxury Brands
Summary
The nature of luxury remains eternal, even amidst evolving trends. While some shifts in the luxury landscape may be overemphasized, others are noteworthy. Despite these changes, the essence of luxury remains unchanged.
Defining Luxury
A luxury brand stands out with a high price tag, primarily appealing to the socio-economic elite. Luxury isn’t about being unattainable but about offering something extraordinary that’s a stretch for most budgets. For instance, if you’re accustomed to driving a BMW 760, it no longer feels luxurious, whereas a Maserati Quattroporte might.
