It offers holistic forecast for the industry and pragmatic suggestions for entrepreneurs. Structured thematically, the book starts by introducing luxury as a concept and the cultural perspectives of specific groups such as the French, Italians, Chinese etc., It then dives into the different traditional personal luxury goods sectors and their extensions into the luxury business to analyze their backgrounds and where they are today in terms of business attractiveness and appropriateness.
