And this is what it’s all about. Immersing ourselves in the true nature of omotenashi. The Japanese culture of engaging with our customers and anticipating their real needs. This is a journey of making fleet and luxury personal to YOU! #LexusStockport #Fleetbusiness

Limited-time luxury. Sons of surprise and the unexpected, pop-up stores have now become an expression of creativity that often transcends the boundaries of even the most famous brands. This year, I've seen several, and I confess that the care in the concepts and the engaging capability of these structures is often surprising, but above all, it becomes a community catalyst around a brand. Even the most well-known and important brands are moving in this direction, from the sea to the mountains, sometimes passing through the city. An ephemeral retail space has made its debut at Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono, a luxurious ski resort in Niseko (widely appreciated for its natural surroundings, especially the stunning peaks, making it a popular spot for various activities such as skiing and snowboarding in the winter). This initiative is courtesy of Louis Vuitton, and the project goes beyond the retail space itself, which is already charming. It extends to communication about cable cars and more. Visitors can expect a unique shopping experience in a special space that seamlessly blends with the wintry surroundings. # 244 RETAIL, Japan 👇 More contents on our website, the link to the featured news is in the first comment below.

Retro modern mix. In Japan, what we commonly call shopping centers should be called “shopping sanctuary.” Beautiful, well-organized, elegant, and above all, innovative in their approach to retail. I remember that even 15 years ago, they were extremely skilled in displaying food products, as well as in fashion and home goods. The precision and ability to present products heavily reference the local culture. Azabudai Hills is the new prestigious shopping center in Tokyo, a high-quality mixed-use complex combining residences with shops, set in a delightful landscaped environment. It embodies a charm similar to Roppongi Hills and Omotesando Hills. Officine Universelle Buly, which offers a wide range of fragrances, body care, skincare, haircare, and personal care products, sees opportunities for expansion and occupies a standalone structure that is somewhat reminiscent of Forum Les Halles, a late 1970s Parisian shopping complex. 🙌 What’s your take? # 319 RETAIL, Japan 👉 More content on our website and subscribe to the weekly newsletter; the link to the featured news is in the first comment below. 🎯 If you want to learn more about our transformative approach to generating growth (yes, what we call innovation marketing!), feel free to write me privately.

At the Luxury Innovation Summit & Awards, I witnessed a sterling case of Open Innovation. Singapore isn't just making strides in lab-grown meat—it's also a fertile ground for adjacent technologies like lab-grown leather in the realm of luxury. Congratulations Adrian Fürstenburg and Viknish Krishnan-Kutty, PhD. Promise to buy the first object that is made with your lab-grown leather!. This isn't my first rodeo with these cutting-edge advancements. I encountered fledgling examples in Silicon Valley back in 2018. Yet the linchpin remains scaling; transitioning from a curiosity to a market mainstay is the real litmus test. Food for Thought: As lab-grown meat gains traction, could it be the rising tide that lifts all boats, including the luxury sector's foray into lab-grown materials? Further Reading: 1.

What’s Behind Japan’s Luxury Boom?🇯🇵 In Japan, high-end brands are selling more because of international tourists taking advantage of good exchange rates and local Gen X consumers spending a lot. The Takashimaya department store has seen each customer spending more due to the weak yen. Other Japanese department stores like Seibu & Sogo are making changes to attract younger shoppers. Although there are fewer Chinese tourists than before the pandemic, they are spending more money each time they visit, which is boosting sales of luxury goods. Visitors from South Korea, the US, and Hong Kong are also contributing to this growth. Japan's luxury market is expected to keep growing as long as brands stay relevant to local consumers and are flexible in responding to market changes. 🔍from today’s BoF Professional newsletter

Asset-for-asset trade: the future. And also the oldest economy in the world. Now supported by the blockchain, which they didn't really have with obsidian in the Neolithic. But it's basically the same concept: exchanging value with value (and it works, today as then).

Being offline is the new luxury.
