Luxury Brands Shift to ‘Micro’ Luxury Goods Amid Economic Downturn

Luxury brands are adapting to current economic challenges by introducing smaller, more affordable luxury goods like “super mini” handbags and wallets on chains. Aimed at middle-income shoppers, this strategic pivot seeks to recapture a crucial consumer base alienated by significant price increases over recent years. With prices of luxury goods averaging 55% higher than in 2019, these accessible items may encourage increased store traffic and sales volumes, helping brands stabilize during a widespread spending slowdown.
