Tiffany at odds with LVMH

 One of the partnerships to ever be struck in the high fashion world, occurred on the 6th of January this year. Arguably, with the pandemic sweeping through the globe, it was not a shock to see the one of the most prolific deals struck between jewellery giant Tiffany and co and the global conglomerate LVMH (which owns some of the most notable brands such as Louis Vuitton, möet and Dior) has suddenly been scrapped. 


The scrapping of such a deal would seem as some put it - an unfortunate casualty of the COVID crisis, but this deal went far beyond just a simple changing of owners. LVMH brought tiffany for 16bn USD. Its not small feat and it also valued the shares of Tiffany and co at over $200 per share. Losing this deal would drastically change their share price value and not to mention would mean that Tiffany would lose some serious street cred. Its no secret that all high fashion luxury labels are owned by the LVMH bracket and to be associated then removed from that status would seriously hurt the Jewellery giant. 


So what now? Tiffany is not taking this back out lightly and have no decided to sue LVMH and its owner Bernard Arnault for the 16bn they were orginally meant to be payed out. To me it looks like the new straggling Tiffany and Co are in some serious damage control and a quick injection of cash to help them continue to ride out the rest of this fall out from the COVID pandemic. Will it be enough to save them? or will Tiffany fall at the weigh side like many other labels and brands throughout this difficult time? 


I guess what we do know... the monumental deal uniting the fashion magnate and the jewellery power house is a no go.

Vivrelle - game changer in the luxury retail market

I like many of you love fashion, but staying relevant in fashion can be really hard. From Valentino to Chanel and Celine to Prada, the seasons are bustling with new statement pieces that i want in my closet.  But fashion, especially luxury fashion can be such an expensive endeavour to keep up with. And with most of my paycheck going towards one bag, it can be very difficult to be constantly updating and changing my wardrobe. While most of us look at posts from high fashion influencers like Chiara Ferragni and Jessica Stein, and their ever evolving wardrobe of luxury handbags and fantasise about what new bag to add to our collection. They change bags weekly and move onto a different brand, size and colour, making it difficult to emulate these fashion icons. I love buying a new bag, the smell of new leather and the feeling of peeling the little plastic away from the clasp (is probably my favourite part) no matter the brand, size or colour i find it just as exciting no matter whic...

COVID impact on luxury

 2020 has been one giant... i'm just going to say it Cluster duck of a year. But from trial comes triumph, with some companies absolutely flourishing and some gurgling down the toilet. The unfortunate need for companies to pivot, has left some with no choice but to close down. From fashion shows being streamed online, and shop closures. Luxury has relied heavily on their online presence to continue their revenue and trading through the pandemic. With many economist predicting an economic down turn, decrease in sales and all round shrinkage in the luxury niche.  I am of the opinion that the luxury category was only minimally affected by this crisis, and i think the recent black Friday sales have proved that the desire for luxury items is well and truly alive and well. With Valentino nearly selling out of their sale items within the first 48 hours.  I know crazy right?! and Valentino wasn't the only luxury brand that experienced literal sell out crowds, with Dior, Balenciag...
