Reports from the fashion industry showed that out of total sales of 2020, the year of the worst crisis in the sector by the covid, luxury houses were mainly affected by the revenues they stopped receiving in sectors such as jewelry accessories (-44% annually), footwear (-41% annually), followed by bags and briefcases with a contraction of 39% per year.
The effect was the result of more people working from home, fewer social events, and hence an insufficient demand for luxury fashion to show off. In some cases it was even said that certain brands of the Louis Vuitton (Lvmh) conglomerate had to burn some collections so that their prices would not be devalued. "applying the old rule of not saturating the market, and eliminating unsold, rather than damaging future releases," said Pedro Antonio Aguirre manager of Leather-Col.
But although the fashion industry is changing along with the consumer habits of buyers, and modifying a very constant way, there are the 'classics' of the best luxury houses, those bags or briefcases that for 13 months could not go out on a walkway, and with the return to the office, they are finally having their debut.
