Since the moment fashion houses appeared in Poland and Polish versions of the international fashion magazines started to be published on a regular basis, a surge in demand for luxury goods has been observed. The fact that Polish economy is in better shape and increasingly younger customers can afford high-end products also play a role. In the biggest Polish cities, particularly in Warsaw, there is great interest in investments in cars, luxury clothing brands or jewellery.

Conscious, collaborative, connected: making over the luxury business model
Published in partnership with Arianee, we reveal how the luxury sector is shaping a new business model that allows customers to experience and engage with brands in new ways and to purchase goods knowing they can be easily and expertly repaired and resold.
Conscious, collaborative, connected includes insights from luxury sector leaders, including Breitling, Comité Colbert, Kering and Vacheron Constantin, and draws from an extensive desk review of over 150 articles, reports and other sources.
Customer cohorts
The sector is increasingly selling to different people, in different parts of the world, and while they may all buy into the appeal of luxury, they hold subtly different tastes and expectations. New cohorts include HENRYs and Gen Z. Who are these new luxury customers and what do they want from luxury brands?
According to Michel Kiviatkowski, Managing Partner, Mazars in Poland, the luxury goods industry has also gained in importance in our country.
