UK retail consultancy Verdict Research report warned: With the price cuts in 12 years the trend reversal, “the era of cheap clothes and more and more coming to an end.”

Since 1998, Louis Vuitton bags Speedy Getting Started section of more than doubled the price to reach 685 U.S. dollars, we can see that the past 10 years the fashion luxury price spiral. However, Joe Boxer underwear is now the classic smiley face models has been reduced to 8.99 U.S. dollars, almost 10 years ago half the battle. Luxury prices soared in the Volkswagen brand has become more and more expensive, and this is the U.S. apparel industry trends in the past 10 years.

At the end of 2008, intensified of course, is sweeping the world financial crisis. Germany has selected the year when the word “crisis” was overwhelmingly elected. Because, after all, that affect every one lives for ordinary practical problems. The world’s luxury report [luxury.icxo.com] It even gave us Carnival of the Year should have cast a layer of solemn colors, everyone is thinking about: how in the end the economic crisis affected my life?
Of course, the economic crisis brought about not just layoffs, reduction of remuneration, wealth shrink these economic intuitive reflection, Xiao Bian has also edited many articles before, to tell you about the economic crisis on the entire fashion industry, to big, the impact on luxury goods.
Today, we learned from coffee, this small, it represents the taste and style of the single-product start to explore the relationship between it and the economic crisis, and in crisis all the changes in our way of life.
Coffee reflect the economic crisis: The more Starbucks coffee shops and more countries and cities affected by the financial tsunami, the greater the impact of
Concepts: (with all the common fashion to reflect the economic situation of consumer goods index)
Big Mac index: the informal economic indicators to measure the two kinds of currency exchange rate theory is reasonable.
Coca-Cola map: each country’s per capita cola consumption was to compare wealth between countries; the figure shows the amount of cola drink the more the more wealthy countries.
Starbucks index: the U.S. “Business Week” columnist Daniel Gross has a set of recent comparable to the “Big Mac Index” alternative theory – a country, especially the country’s financial center, the greater the number of Starbucks coffee shops , the country affected by the financial crisis more likely.
The latest economic indicators: Starbucks coffee shops more and more countries and cities affected by the financial tsunami, the greater the impact. Whether a coincidence or could become a new measure of economic indicators, in this economic crisis sweeping the globe, Starbucks’s “Little Mermaid” appears more and more countries and cities affected by the financial crisis, the higher the degree of hazard.
The United States, for example, Starbucks in the past few years with the U.S. property market boom and are expanding rapidly, the light in New York in Manhattan on the opening 200 stores. Starbucks caffeine has become Wall Street’s Golden Boy are playing money games to stimulate the kinetic energy, the headquarters of major U.S. investment banks, without exception, have a Starbucks entered the first floor. At the same time, suburban and even urban and rural areas throughout the United States, but also not difficult to see Starbucks presence. However, the number of Starbucks outlets in the spring of 2006, after hitting a new high, followed the same as the U.S. housing market collapsing in reverse.
And the United States were similar to the financial crisis, several countries were caught more serious, such as the United Kingdom, its Starbucks stores to 689 stores in London alone there are 256, the French capital, Paris, has 35 branches; In addition, the in the current financial crisis, “Asian Iceland,” said South Korea also has 253 Starbucks stores.
According to “Starbucks store index” theory, inference, and Starbucks outlets stationed in a relatively few countries in the financial crisis affected is relatively small. This is true, only in Egypt, there are three Starbucks in Africa, in this economic crisis were injured slightly; Similarly, the Latin American influence Fortunately, Brazil is only 14 nationwide. Starbucks did not even an Italian bank has yet to spread relief or go bankrupt, maybe you think of coffee the traditional disdain of Italy, like Starbucks coffee shops quickly appear. Equally there is no Starbucks in the Nordic countries Sweden, Finland and Norway, it now seems may escape completely unharmed.
Of course, “Starbucks store index” theory, there are exceptions, South America, the Chilean capital of Santiago, there are 27 Starbucks, but this time the degree be affected little, if we look only six Starbucks, the country of Russia, but has suffered badly. Whether this “Starbucks store index” link the economic crisis and whether the matter sorted out, but in determining the financial turmoil can be used as a conversational.

Once upon a time, luxury representing the top exquisite handmade products, only a few people can afford to become an industry of today’s luxury operation, to become a global money-spinner. Luxury goods and even become a hobby-horse of a family of online shopping, you can not only buy on Amazon.com Gucci watches, shoes and purses, but also in the Target Web site to buy Dolce & Gabbana Perfume – luxury than ever before are more obvious, more extensive access to the public.

As a result, luxury goods, “pyramid” model it is the opportune time to show out – a real luxury women’s fashion in the spire, specifically for extremely rich; from the hands of the same group of designer ready-made garments is designed for the middle class a; there is a wide range, the average person can afford perfume and accessories, specifically for mass consumer groups.
Not only is the business model changes, the luxury brand’s product line is also quietly undergoing change, those who seemingly exquisite handbags and clothing from the hands of skilled craftsmen in Europe and transferred to the hands of workers in developing countries, hand-carved into the production pipeline. As a result, the luxury goods can also be carried out large-scale production, the former assembly line production of fine craftsmanship has been replaced.
Indeed, such a way that allows cash in luxury brands: Louis Vuitton, has annual sales of nearly 40 billion U.S. dollars, while other brands can also be fishing for a year into more than one billion U.S. dollars, the mass of consumers can also enjoy the convenience and access to luxury goods, but very controversial is that they no longer have a true sense of the luxury bit.
This is the luxury brand may be pursued – to meet the mass of consumers to show off, while maintaining the surface of high-end luxury brands and luxury. It is precisely this ambiguous on the relationship between consumers and the general public, so that luxury brands have maintained annual profit rising to become a huge consumer market forces.
However, such a delicate relations for luxury brought about tremendous benefits, it is now also begun to gradually eclipsed – recession began, those who once fell in love with luxury of the masses of the people, first of all is their right to control the high-level bags and expensive Clothing perfume desire. This will directly lead to decreased sales of luxury goods, while the past, luxury has long been regarded as the most vulnerable to economic crisis-affected industries.
