After a bumpy few years, luxury brands are re-committing to China's market as a weaker yuan and the US trade war funnel more Chinese high-end spending back home, Tiffany & Co CEO Alessandro Bogliolo said in an interview.
"I think this is partially because of the general trend in the industry due to currencies and also to the efforts of the government to increase local consumption." "Consumption by Chinese tourists in the US and in Hong Kong, because of currency fluctuations, have been decreasing in the last few months," Bogliolo said.But much of that spending is coming home to mainland China, and the profile of the typical Chinese luxury shopper is changing.
Lower Chinese import duties and a narrowing gap between prices in domestic and overseas markets are also contributing factors.
