Most luxury brands didn’t consider eCommerce and other marketplaces such as eBay and
Amazon as a potential sales driver.

Several luxury brands were thought to have looked down at these marketplaces as online yard sales rather than the traditional brick and mortar stores.

American Brands going back to its luxurious beginnings

Huge American brands are now going back to its luxurious branding.  For years, some of these brands have become too popular, which in turn affected their image.

Now, Ralph Lauren and Michael Kors Holding LTD are taking a few steps back into its roots, even making their customers pay full price to purchase their products.

With the massive growth in sales for luxury items and timepieces, the eCommerce industry has proven its worth when it comes to the company brands’ overall sales.

TrueFacet is the top luxury online retail platform for both fine jewelry and watches, addressing the need of the well-off and tech-savvy consumers.

It appears they are well on their way to a very successful 2017 Holiday Season. And that might bode well for other luxury brand sellers.
