Ethos Watch Boutiques has partnered with Rimowa (German premium luggage brand) to open stores in India. (2). Dream Theatre will soon launch premium luggage under Diego Maradona’s franchise. 💡This sector seems to benefit from - - Rising disposable income - Indians traveling a lot more: frequent weekend getaways, national and international trips - Rising demand for stylish and functional luggage - Shorter replacement cycles 🌓At present, branded luggage, dominated by VIP, Safari, and Samsonite, represents 25% of the $6 B market. ▶️ With a truckload of competition, it will be intriguing to see how this space evolves.
