Tod's is under fire in Italy.

Prosecutors are pushing to place the famed shoemaker under judicial administration, citing "severe labour exploitation" by some of its subcontractors.

In Milan and the Marche region, inspections found workers earning as little as €2.75-€3/hour, far below Italy’s legal wage of around €10/hour, while also paying deductions for food and lodging.

Tod’s insists it complies with laws and performs regular audits, yet authorities argue oversight has been deeply lacking.

Discover the power of packaging as experience at LUXperience(s) on November 18, 2025, organized by Luxus+ Club in collaboration with IFOP, Valtech, ISG Luxury Program, and Paris Packaging Week.

After the successful debut by Matthieu Blazy for CHANEL , it's clear the prestigious brand is evolving.

The House on Rue Cambon built its power by diversifying into fashion, beauty, and jewelry, then turned that risk into strength by becoming a “multi-expert” brand.

With architecture, tweed, pearls, and lore woven into every boutique, Chanel makes each store a dive into its universe. Its beauty division spans immersive salons and mini-workshops without diluting its identity.

Jewelry is staged with almost ceremonial ritual and at dedicated spaces worldwide. By orchestrating all of these formats instead of blending them, Chanel reinforces exclusivity and deep expertise.

But as it expands into more categories and entry points, can it maintain the original Chanel brand experience?

Luxury is in the midst of a major reset.

Once built on prestige, the industry is now reshaping itself around consistency, values, and identity. , under new leadership, is refocusing Gucci on durability and desirability, while LVMH faces backlash amid social and ESG concerns, even for beloved brands like Loro Piana.

At the same time, consumers are demanding more than status: quality, meaning, and emotional substance are rising to the top. Creative directors are now returning to foundation while brands are focusing on mission over merchandise.

Considering all the movement and momentum, what do you think will luxury stand for in 2026?

Luxury hotels are breaking away from old loyalty programs. Points and tiers are giving way to bespoke stays.

A recent survey found that 68% of affluent and younger travelers now prefer memorable, personalized experiences to traditional rewards. Hotels are responding: tailored spa rituals, curated local excursions, preference-based room settings are no longer perks but expectations.

Technology is making this shift easier. AI and guest data is helping hotels to anticipate needs rather than just responding.

How can luxury hotels make each stay unforgettable? Tell us your recommendations.

5 key luxury headlines this week.
A curated roundup of the biggest stories shaping the industry:

1. France Debates “Zucman Tax” on Wealth Above €100 Million

The Zucman tax proposal seeks to impose a 2% annual levy on net wealth exceeding €100 million. Only about 1,800 households would be affected. Estimates of potential revenue vary: optimists cite €20 billion annually, while critics suggest closer to €5 billion.

2. Markets Pause as Yen Nosedives and Asia Wobbles

Global equities cooled after the yen collapsed to new lows, inflaming risk aversion. Japanese and broader Asian stocks weighed on indexes, while U.S. markets took a breather. Investors cited uncertainty over whether central banks will follow through on monetary easing.

3. Brunello Cucinelli Shares Drop After Russia Trade Allegations

Brunello Cucinelli’s stock dropped steeply (by over 15%) following short-seller claims that the brand sold luxury goods in Russia in violation of EU sanctions. The company denies wrongdoing, stating that Russia now accounts for ~2% of revenue and exports have fallen two-thirds since prior years.

4. Acqua di Parma Partners with Maserati on Bespoke Fragrance Line

Italian fragrance house Acqua di Parma is collaborating with carmaker Maserati to create limited-edition perfumes reflecting Maserati’s design ethos. The partnership merges artisanal perfumery with automotive luxury, targeting connoisseurs of both scent and style as they expand high-end lifestyle branding.

5. Ferrari Revives the Testarossa, now as a Hybrid Hypercar

Ferrari resurrects the iconic 1980s Testarossa nameplate with a new hybrid version. Combining modern electrification engineering and 20th-century design cues, this limited-run model aims to balance heritage with high performance. It signals Ferrari’s push into electrified supercar territory.

Brunello Cucinelli shares tumbled after a short-seller report accused the Italian luxury house of continuing sales in Russia despite EU sanctions.

This has raised questions over transparency in “ethical luxury.”

The company swiftly denied the claims, stressing exports had fallen from €16 million in 2021 to just €5 million in 2024, barely 2% of revenues. Trading of its stock was even temporarily suspended in Milan as markets absorbed the shock.

As the brand’s cultivated image of integrity has come under scrutiny, will this pave the way for luxury brands to increase transparency by delivering detailed proof of compliance? Tell us your opinion.
