Key finding’s from the research
CraftsmanshipProvenanceTrust, engagement and emotional connection
Understanding the consumerTransparency Sustainability
“Companies need to be distinctive, promoting attractive niche products which gets buyers’ attention, whilst having more mainstream offerings which generates stable revenues. This balance supports success and sustainability.”
Paul Smith, New Dawn For Textiles Conference 2012
We are emotional beings and emotion lies behind many of the decisions we make in our lives”Padua (2012)
Vertu presentation Luxury Interactive London 2015
KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER
Beryl Gibson a trend consultant states“ Traceability and manufacturing with superb heritage and expert time honoured skills is seen as a quality as important as the actual fabric”. Retailers are more confident buying from a well-established mill, often co-branding the product using the suppliers name.
