Global luxury goods sales hinge on Asia, where we can see international brands cut their product pricing by 15% over the next two years, according to Morgan Stanley. This can’t bode well for the entire luxury sector, which historically relied 25% of its growth on price increases. It makes sense global luxury brands will have to slash their retail prices in Asia.

I'd recommend to purchase from the lower classes, as it will give an additional margin of safety to investment.
