Gucci Is Collapsing… And It’s Bigger Than Fashion

The luxury fashion industry is down bad and everyone is feeling the pain - but no one seems to be feeling it worse than Gucci. Their sales are down tremendously, and the most recent bit of news is that Coach is dangerously closed to being valued at the same level. So why the change? I think it's pretty clear the broader consumer landscape is at play. People blame the economy and consumer sentiment, but is that the real story? The data suggests layoffs and inflation have cooled, and we aren't in a recession. So why does it feel like everyone is having a tough time? I don't think it's as simple as pointing to any one factor. But the K-shaped economy certainly has something to do with it. Beyond that, I think people are just valuing different things. Luxury fatigue has set in, certain brands have overplayed their hand and raised prices too high, and some things just can't stay cool forever. So I ask... why Gucci?
