Bottega Veneta’s Post

Here is Forbes full article of AVATR and Christian Dior Couture partnership

Scarce, collectable and free! Bottega Veneta bid farewell to all social media platforms in 2021 and introduced a unique approach by publishing a "fanzine" that delves into the inspirations behind each seasonal collection. The latest release, the 4th edition, comprises four volumes neatly packaged in a cardboard box. This edition's content is intricately linked to the theme of the seasonal campaign, resembling the artistry seen in Le Monde d'Hermès, with captivating photographs from renowned Magnum Photos photographer Alec Soth. Setting it apart from its Hermès counterpart, Bottega Veneta's fanzine embraces an element of scarcity, offering exclusive stickers as a symbol of prestige for fortunate recipients who manage to acquire a copy. Distributed in limited quantities, free of charge, and exclusively available at select brand stores and a handful of esteemed art bookshops, one can't help but speculate on the distribution strategy and potential resale value on the secondary market! I think, it´s a fine example of an efficient marketing strategy archetype including some level of "meanness" to it (it´s free but you still won´t get one unless you are close enough to the brand).

There’s no better marker of true style than nailing what to wear for life’s routine scenarios. And keeping a consistent throughline, no matter the occasion, indicates you’ve got your go-to luxury designer brands down. If that's not yet you, never fear. Our stylists have opened their black book of designer musts that promise to elevate any occasion. Take it from them—Loewe's effortless sophistication is the default choice for daily errands, while alexandermcqueen's sculptural chic adds a heady dose of confidence to date night looks (particularly paired with Bottega Veneta's artful accessories). The laidback construction of almost anything by The Row makes it the must-have uniform for a day of traveling, while Valentino and #Self-Portrait—who both offer versatile, ultra-feminine separates—are their unanimous office-to-cocktail favorites. Discover the best #luxurydesignerbrand recommendations from Editorialist's stylists ahead, and never be at a loss for what to wear again.

In today’s rapidly evolving luxury landscape, the tradition of craft is now at a crossroads. Luxury brands are not just preserving artisanal traditions but also pioneering new pathways for the next generation of makers by: 🔸 investing in education and training programs that blend traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques. 🔸 embracing innovation and sustainability, incorporating new materials and technologies into their production processes while maintaining a commitment to quality and authenticity. These efforts not only ensure the preservation of artisanal traditions but also empower the next generation of makers to push boundaries and shape the future of luxury. Kenneth D. King, who teaches haute couture design and techniques at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, says… “𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘧𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘭𝘶𝘹𝘶𝘳𝘺 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯’𝘵 𝘷𝘪��𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴,” 𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴. “𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦—𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴—𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘧𝘵 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦.” 𝘉𝘶𝘵, 𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘥𝘥𝘴, “𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘬𝘦𝘺.

Yesterday, I was at the grand opening of Montblanc’s new store downtown and learned firsthand just how powerful brand storytelling can be. What makes a brand truly iconic? Is it just about quality and craftsmanship, or is it more than that. While my friend and I were browsing the leather goods, she saw the pen section and said, “Ah, it’s only the pen section.” As a fan of MontBlanc, and owner of multiple pens, I had to pause. "Only the pen section?!" These are state-of-the-art, high-end pens, crafted with precision. But I understood what she meant—many MontBlanc pens are seen as bulky and designed more for men. That's when I introduced her to the Marilyn Monroe collection (picture below). This elegant line isn't just a pen—it was a tribute to an icon. The high heel-shaped design? A nod to her signature style. The white color? Inspired by the famous dress she wore. The red collection? Represents the exact shade of her iconic lipstick. And the pearl on the cap? A homage to the pearl necklace she was always seen wearing. Even the diamond-shaped detailing at the bottom of the pen (yes, look closer) —her famous line, ‘Diamonds are a girl’s best friend,’ was immortalised in these pens. In that moment, my friend’s view of MontBlanc pen shifted. Luxury isn’t just about craftsmanship—it’s about the stories woven into every product. And MontBlanc knows this well. They don’t churn out countless SKUs every year to chase trends like fast fashion does. Instead, they invest in timeless designs that grow in value—both financially and emotionally—over time. I have several pens which today are worth way more than what I bought them for, even adjusted for inflation. When your product tells a story, it becomes more than just a commodity. It becomes part of a legacy. Thanks to Yohan Sauves for the invitation. We had an unforgettable experience—exactly what you’d expect from MontBlanc. #BrandStorytelling #LuxuryBranding #CustomerExperience #MontBlanc #TimelessDesign #BusinessInsights #MarketingStrategy

In 1837, Thierry Hermès founded a modest harness and saddle workshop for European nobility, never imagining that nearly two centuries later, his name would be synonymous with luxury and high fashion. Hermès, now a global powerhouse, generates annual profits of €11.6 billion ($12.5 billion) and boasts a market value of €202 billion. The brand's timeless elegance has captivated stars like Madonna, Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore, and Jennifer Lopez, while enriching the Hermès family for generations. Nicolas Puech, a fifth-generation heir and significant shareholder, recently made a startling revelation: he plans to adopt his gardener and name him as the heir to his vast fortune. Link: https://lnkd.in/daDA4Cqi. This decision underscores the intricate and often surprising nature of succession planning, a theme explored in Karumba Kinyua's insightful book, Wealth Beyond Generations. At only 1500/-, it's available at Nuria Bookstore, The HalfPriced Bookstore, and The African Bookhub. You can also order it directly by using till no. 9289401 and sending the confirmation to 0748893367 or pinehillmediake@gmail.com. Puech's unconventional choice raises fascinating questions about legacy, wealth, and the personal dimensions of inheritance. But this is just the beginning. In our next post, we'll delve into the dramatic twists and legal challenges that have emerged from Puech's decision. What does this mean for the Hermès family? How will it impact the company's future? Stay tuned as we uncover the unexpected consequences of this bold move.

As we dive deeper into the world of luxury trademarks, one thing becomes clear: branding is evolving. We're seeing a shift from loud logo-centric branding to the subtler, more nuanced trademarks within the quiet luxury segment. Brands like Hermès and Loro Piana are leading this trend, securing rights in various aspects of their products beyond their logos. From the iconic configuration of the Birkin bag to the distinct white sole of Loro Piana's Open Walk shoes, these trademarks are redefining how we identify luxury. It's not just about the name anymore; it's about the craftsmanship, the design, and the unique elements that make these products unmistakably theirs. https://lnkd.in/eEjz2wNX  #SchroderDavisLaw #FashionLaw #EntertainmentLaw #IPLaw #Hermes #Birkin #Designer 

Ever wondered about the markup on luxury goods? According to a report, Dior spends only ₹4,700 to manufacture a handbag that retails for over ₹2,00,000. This stark difference raises questions about the value of brand, craftsmanship, and exclusivity in the luxury market. #LuxuryGoods #Branding #FashionIndustry #Dior #CostOfLuxury #RetailMarkup #ConsumerAwareness
