“Regarding Moschino’s uniquely shaped bags, netizens’ reactions were mixed. Many questioned, ‘Is there really someone who would buy that bag at that price?’, ‘There must be buyers if they keep making such designs’, ‘No matter how luxurious it is, this seems like too much’, and ‘Would anyone actually carry that around?’. In contrast, some netizens appreciated the designs as ‘experimental and creative,’ ‘a product that combines luxury with modern art,’ and expressed interest, saying ‘If I had money, I’d like to try buying it.'”

“Meanwhile, as global luxury demand has plummeted, LVMH, the world’s largest luxury conglomerate owning brands like Louis Vuitton and Dior, saw sales decline across most product categories in the third quarter. Wine and spirits dropped 7%, fashion and leather goods fell 5%, and watches and jewelry decreased by 4% compared to the same period the previous year. Kering Group, which owns Italian luxury brands such as Gucci and Bottega Veneta, announced at the end of October that its performance this year would be half compared to last year. Especially due to the significant underperformance of Gucci, Kering Group’s sales for this year are expected to be approximately 2.5 billion euros (around 3.7 trillion KRW), almost half of last year’s 4.75 billion euros (around 7.1 trillion KRW), with operating profit expected to hit its lowest in eight years.”
