Recommendations
Learnings
Create an exquisite, high quality and exclusive
product
A price point that defines that exclusiveness yet
not out of reach of common man
Operate at a niche market with limited
accessibility that builds an aura
Never advertise but make people talk about the
product and shopping experience
