Japan Series The Business of Luxury

[@maliyok]

So intriguing to see how things has changed. Though luxury brands are now eyeing on China, Japan is still an important market.

[@TheTripstraps]

I think real luxury is when you have a bag or piece of clothing made according your instructions. you can choose a style, details, fabric. that is luxury, I hope people will understand that. you have a unique piece in the world:). and that is your taste. because everything goes nowerdays you can also not be out of taste or fashion. because your own design is the style:). and that also leads to lessened consumption, because it takes time and money to think and made that uique piece. less I more:)

[@irinabugai1022]

TheTripstraps the only problem with that that there is no more artisans that truly know how to work with leather, fabrics, etc. Everything is mass produced and not much is handmade. Also, those that are talented ask too much money for what they offer. It’s difficult to take the route that you’re proposing, but I can’t agree more that it would be lovely to have exclusive handmade products tailored exactly to our needs. That’s why I love shopping vintage because it’s a better quality, unique product and it’s a way to recycle products that are already produced.

@TheTripstraps i totally agree with you Luxury is how one defines it not, the one that everyone has

[@krystalgnome2073]

I had no idea they were so materialistic, consuming 25% of the world's luxury market. That is insane. Also, if the Japanese are so discerning and have an eye for superior craftsmanship, how come there are no world-renowned Japanese luxury brands?

[@mukunimulundika5359]

Yohji Yamamoto. Rei Kawakubo. Issey Miyake. The holy trinity of Japanese fashion designers on a global scale.

Are you for real ?

[@TASconfidential]

You are an ignorant gnome. lol.

[@krystalgnome2073]

@@TASconfidential and you're an asshole.

[@PLOttawa]

Interesting documentary. Only was hoping it would answer this question: How do luxury brands justify their prices when their merchandise is mass produced and by workers making a meagre wage?

[@stephanebelizaire3627]

Bravo !

[@Kit_Bear]

Rich people will buy the tackiest useless shit if you put a high price on it just because no-one else can afford it.

[@MsBOOPiiE]

love it!!

[@randolph1917]

Someof these brands have gone bankrupt... Aquascutum, Vertu,

[@123brownbaby]

too many jealous hate comments towards the rich that enjoys their money.pathetic

[@curtiscarpenter9881]

Luxury is defined by it's own standards.

[@gianna6682]

I noticed comments here judging how others spend their money. What do you care what someone buys! Because your judgmental, noses ass and jeleousy eats at you. Also to the idiot who comments on how the money can help others. First- those with $$$ contribute far more $ to charities/the needy/the sick/etc. than those who have less. The rich create foundations and raise money for the poor/research for illness and OMG purchase luxury goods too!

[@lisavaz6190]

agreed!

[@tooniemama6959]

I agree; Simple is the most beautiful. I think China now surpases Japan in luxury goods. This video is from 2010.

[@reginalaagmay9013]

ToonieMama Made in China 💁 I'll let you juggle that opinion

[@dvd7826]

Vertu lol where are they now

[@curtiscarpenter9881]

You make a art out of what you do but a science out of who you become.

[@jeliomir]

been there

[@tseamus8288]

They have money, they know how and where they want to shop. Jelous people incoming ..

[@starjeweller]

What is an true artistically valuable luxury and what are just they mass "luxury" copies?

[@rejectzombie]

this didnt tell me anything?

[@shumyinghon]

today in 2022 - is this situation still valid there?

[@lissandrafreljord7913]

Wondered why most of these luxury products focused are European. I thought this video was going to be about native luxury brands from Japan like Mikimoto, Comme des Garcons, and Lexus.

[@sylvestregagnon5681]

Lissandra Freljord they mentionned hanae mori !

[@jansmiths8629]

propaganda: some of these brands are near bankrupt shoddy work.

This was posted in 2010.

[@diamonds2980]

stella McCartney,luxury brand??????

[@sylvestregagnon5681]

diamonds luxury often means out of reach for most people not necessarly high quality or high craftmanship. On that level à Lévis pair of jeans can often be more luxury than expensive crap which wont stand test of times.

[@lokoomontana4818]

these numbers do not correspond with 2018, US & EU are the biggest consumers..

[@jharris947]

Aquascutum President & CEO said, ''They're technology savvy''...What's the hell has that got to do with buying fashion?

[@gizmonovack]

First of all , you would need the right body type to pull off these style of clothing and the style is self looks dated and un casual at most places unless you live in a filthy rich city area
