Luxury isn’t just about the purchase, it’s the whole experience and that’s why it’s so difficult to get right.

This article will look at how luxury brands are getting the right mix, why it’s working and what you can learn from each of them.

A lot of luxury brands are embracing the metaverse. Some say it’s a fad but there are real signs that it’s not going anywhere. Analysts at Morgan Stanley predict the market for virtual luxury goods could be as large as $50 billion by 2030.

Gucci, Tommy Hilfiger, Burberry, Balenciaga and Dolce & Gabbana have already staked their claim in the metaverse and this will only encourage more brands to jump on this trend.

It’s a hot topic and everyone is keen to get a slice of the action. With NFT sales totaling around $25 billion in 2021, Milan-based luxury fashion house Dolce & Gabbana set a record by selling a nine-piece NFT collection at $5.7 million.

Another trend for big luxury brands is embracing the gaming arena.
