“The book Deluxe really goes into this, that you lose the hat, the gloves, sometimes shoes become less important. The handbag moves up from this tiny little handbag that used to sit on the wrist to a bigger handbag that goes around the shoulder as well.”
Sentiment: Deep Dive
Trigger: luxury brand evolution
For: Individuals interested in luxury branding and economic history
Key quote: “Since the dawn of humanity right up to the turn of the 19th century, the world of luxury has been virtually totally isolated from the rest of the economy.”
The host mentions 'Deluxe' to highlight the historical context of luxury goods and how they transitioned from being exclusive to the elite to becoming accessible to a broader audience. Dana Thomas's insights provide a critical perspective on the evolution of luxury and its implications on society.
