Luxury Apparels Market: Overview

The global Luxury apparel market comprises designer clothing and accessories (Hats, scarves, belts) that are typically made of high-end, pure materials such as cotton, leather, silk, denim, and others. They are typically characterized by high price points, justified by the unique designs and higher quality materials and craftsmanship employed for production.

The rise in disposable income clubbed with a shift in the lifestyle patterns of millennials can be attributed as one of the driving forces of this market. One of the recent trends has been the surge in e-commerce of luxury apparel. Several brands have now resorted to online mediums for marketing as well as sales of their products through their websites and social media platforms. Sales and discount offers offered online have now become ubiquitous, and are almost non-existent in the offline mode. Another rising trend among luxury brands is the adoption of sustainable materials for production, as the Millennials and Generation Z are becoming more conscious of the environmental impact of luxury apparel, for instance, those made of pure leather and other such materials.
