Deluxe - How Luxury Lost Its Luster

Currently reading: Deluxe - How Luxury Lost Its Luster by Dana Thomas



"The idea, luxury executives explained, was to "democratize" luxury, to make luxury "accessible". It all sounded so noble. Heck, it sounded almost communist." But it wasn't. It was as capitalist as it could be: the goal, plain and simple, was to make as much money as heavenly possible."

An incredibly interesting read.

    Hi Shaf, you can get it at Kinokuniya which is selling it at $26.70. Otherwise, you can get it online at http://www.bookdepository.com/Deluxe-Dana-Thomas/9780143113706

    It's way cheaper at bookdepository.com (FREE SHIPPING!) but the only downside is that you have to wait about a week or so.
