“If you were to choose one word to characterize the recent past and the near future of the global luxury goods market, that word would be ‘change,’” Kleinewillinghoefer said in the report. “During the pandemic, a powerful phrase went viral, capturing the market’s hopes for a future that no one was sure would ever arrive: ‘the new normal.’ Underpinning this thinking was the belief that once the pandemic passed, things would be different but would eventually stabilize.
