Crafting Luxury: Craftsmanship, Manufacture, Technology and the Retail Environment

Autor Mark Bloomfield, Shaun Borstrock, Silvio Carta, Veronica Manlow
en Limba Engleză Hardback – dec 2022
An exploration of the many issues and debates that surround the idea of luxury. 

The idea of luxury has secured a place in contemporary Western culture and the term has now joined common parlance in both established and emerging economies. Crafting Luxury explores contentious issues surrounding perceptions of luxury, its relationship to contemporary branding as created by marketers, and the effect this has on consumers and their purchasing habits. It examines the industry structures, analyzing production practices as well as the effects of hierarchies on both internal and external perceptions of luxury, from the makers to the sellers and consumers. Offering different perspectives and interpretations of luxury, the authors dissect the work of companies across the industry, from established companies to emerging models and from conglomerates to small independents. They further explore the impact of technology on consumption, manufacture, the retail environment, and sales, providing a true insider’s view of this complex world.

Recenzii

"Taking this journey through the history of luxury becomes easy to understand due to the manner in which this book is written. The words are simple and explicit so the reader can follow with ease and understand the great achievements of the masters and founders of the luxury brands, from the smaller firm to the most well-known establishments which are part of conglomerates.

In reading though the book one can travel the road of luxury and feel a part of it, a travelogue of invention in a space formally owned by the rich and “haves”, not the “have nots”. Now it’s in the purview of all of us, how wonderful. [...] This book is well-written and I recommend it for all sorts of business, management and social science classes as well as to anyone who is just looking for a serious and yet fun reading of an important business and cultural topic."
