FROM PROMISE CONSULTING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH EXANE BNP PARIBAS 

The wealthiest #English women #desire the #European #brands but purchase most often the #American ones

THE « DESIRABILITY & EXCLUSIVITY » BAROMETER OF PROMISE CONSULTING ON LUXURY BRANDS  PUBLISHES ITS RESULTS FOR THE UNITED KINGDOM. THIS MEASURE IS INCLUDED IN THE « BRAND HEALTH » INDEX OF THE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS COMPANY EXANE BNP PARIBAS.

The results of the 4th edition of the « «Desirability &Exclusivity » barometer for the United Kingdom show that European and especially French high-end brands in fashion are considered more exclusive than the US ones and equally desirable. But the American brands are more known and more often purchased. Consequently, 4 US brands rank in the top 4 places while only Chanel integrates the top 5. Burberry on the other hand falls behind in its domestic market.

As well-known as their European counterparts, American brands certainly benefit from a less high-end (and therefore more premium and accessible) positioning to take the leadership on sales. But they also seduce by a more trendy and sporty style, more in line with the dominant values of the “bourgeois” aristocracy of the US East coast. An evidence of the better fit of the transatlantic fashion brands with the dominant lifestyle values in the United Kingdom. Certainly but not only!

However, European brands, essentially French and Italian ones, remain very desirable and even more exclusive (perhaps too much?). Chanel is by far the most desired brand in the UK while high-end brands occupy the top of the ranking with three brands neck and neck (Ralph Lauren, Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior). Finally, the high-end brands in fashion continue to widen the gap in exclusivity (Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Prada), while Dior and more surprisingly Burberry lie behind.

There is indeed, as Brexit is going on, an irreducible specificity of the English market of the luxury fashion that we invite you to discover!
