Louis Vuitton Attracts More High-end Clients by Raising Prices

Jean-Jacques Guiony, CFO of Louis Vuitton’s parent comany LVMH, announced on a conference call Tuesday that the brand will be shifting towards higher priced accessories due to higher quality materials.

In recent months, price tags on Louis Vuitton bags have increased by as much as 12 percent in the effort to increase sales.

Vuitton’s growth has slowed in recent months because luxury-hungry consumers in emerging markets like China are becoming rapidly more sophisticated; in essence, they want subtle leather bags instead of the logo-covered canvas pieces that are Vuitton’s bread and butter, in addition to being the brand’s most visible symbol. So how, exactly, might a price hike help?

As Passariello mentions, much of Vuitton’s recent success has been predicated on entry-level luxury consumers’ lust for the brand’s flashy canvas pieces. That group will be the one affected the most by Vuitton’s price-increase strategy because they’re the most price-sensitive segment of Vuitton’s consumer base; in losing some of what the brand seems to consider riff-raff, execs are hoping to gain new customers at the top end of the market. After all, Hermes increases its prices constantly (or at least it feels that way) and is growing at record rates, perhaps because the type of customer the brand attracts doesn’t care about an extra $500 on top of a $5,000 purchase. If Vuitton can’t buy Hermes, it seems hell-bent on trying to become its twin.

Hermes, of course, doesn’t have much of an entry-level segment of which to speak, which is part of what makes it attractive to the most cash-flush of luxury consumers. Even with the Birkin as in-demand as it ever been, the brand walks the exclusivity-profitability tightrope better than anyone else in the business, and it does so without relying on $190 key pouches to keep the bills paid. Almost no other company can say that, but the second segment of Vuitton’s reported growth strategy – emphasizing its subtler, more expensive leather bags and accessories over its famous canvas – indicates that it’d like to at least attempt to become a similar brand, at least in the eyes of the purchasing public. (Those keychains and card cases, of course, will still be readily available, just at a slightly higher price.)

Hermès Birkin Sold Most Expensive Handbag at Auction

June 1, 2016

A Hermès Birkin handbag, which Christie’s auction house describes as the “rarest, most sought-after, most valuable” of its kind, just broke records at a May 30 auction at the house’s Hong Kong location.

At $300,108, the matte white Himalaya Niloticus Crocodile Diamond Birkin is now the most expensive handbag to sell at auction, topping last year’s sale of a HK $1.72 million ($220,000) bright pink crocodile skin handbag by Hermès, which also sold at Christie’s in Hong Kong.

Interest in the sleek handbag ran high. The Daily Mail reports that the Nilo Crocodile Birkin sold to an anonymous private collector amid a bidding war. The rarity of the materials adds a special gloss of appeal, since the auction house notes that “only one or two of the Diamond Himalayas are produced each year…”

“They are certainly an increasingly meaningful asset class,” Winsy Tsang, head of sales for handbags and accessories at Christie’s in Hong Kong, told CNN.

In a 2014 interview, 1stdibs dealer JaneFinds told Vogue that the 18-karat white gold hardware and 8.2 carats’ worth of diamonds aren’t the only rarities. “This bag is made of Nilo crocodile, rendered in a subtle coloration that is meant to evoke images of the majestic Himalayan mountains. This dyeing process is painstaking and takes many hours to complete—the lighter the hue, the more difficult the process.”

PETA has taken issue with the practice, and they even made a page exclusively dedicated to the French luxury handbag manufacturer’s operations. According to the animal rights organization, the high-end luxury provider relies on a factory-farmed supply of crocodiles, adding that it takes two or three of the large reptiles to create a single handbag.

Ethics aside, the manufacturer is responding to market pressures in order to maintain a competitive edge. As Mario Ortelli, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein, told Bloomberg in 2013: “Louis Vuitton, Prada, Gucci are trying to elevate the level of perceived exclusivity of their brands, and exotic-skin products really help in this.”

The world’s most expensive purse, however, is still Mouawad’s 1001 Nights Diamond Purse, which is valued at $3.8 million, and contains more than 4,500 diamonds.

Before hanging out, you finally check your look through the mirror, and you are satisfied with every single items on your appearance, the perfect dress with a pair of black heels and the stunning jewelry create a professionally polished look. But, ladies, you have forgot to check your handbag in front of the mirror!

You don’t have to match your every collocation with different best designer handbags, but learning how to choose your handbags is of utmost urgency. There are a few things you might want to consider before you select your new bags.

Color

For the essential thing that you should take over first should be the colors of the handbags. Are you that girl who lose your marbles when seeing the bag that you like? Please consider the accent before buying instead of just select the color you like! Which style of outfit you are planning to match with this bag, does it work well? Select the one that go well with most of your outfit would be a wise choice!

Material

For me, I am seldom take the material of the bag into consideration before, however, it is necessary! A quick look around the fashion handbags trends on the fashion website before heading to local purses and bags stores, stick to the bags that are made from recycled license plates and other recycle materials, as it is our responsibility to protect the environment in our power. Plus, consider the material of your outfit. A jewel-encrusted clutch will punch up your solid color outfit.

Shape& Size

If you are busy with your work and dinner party, the style that suitable both office and night out would be great, plus, choose the large one so that it could fit all of your files. Moreover, stick to the colorful one, as it is able to liven up your office outfit. A shape that fits comfortably in your hand seems perfect for you at that time.
