Below are four major elements in dominating the new terminology of “luxury”.

Create “subtle and discreet” – Branded name is always popular, but it is no longer fashionable to be bold and loud in the public. It has undertake a concept of being expensive, but yet subtle, understate and discreet.

Create “exclusivity” - The difference in the ratio of demand and supply dictate the market needs. By introducing limited-edition to a product can create that “one of a kind” privilege, hand-made / custom made create instant exclusivity.

Create “sustainable / practical” - Luxury is no longer only carry a BIG $ sign, but it take the characteristic of both with higher perceived value and increased practicality. It means that it will carry high value in design, quality, craftsmanship and service.

Create “environmental awareness” - The alert of environmental friendly, Go Green attitude speaks luxury too. After all, it cost more in all the organic products which cannot be afforded by the majority.
