LVMH Apart Recessions Come and Recessions Go,
Recessions come and recessions go, but luxury never goes completely out of style, even if sales were subdued in the early 2000's. Some individuals with deep pockets and high ambitions are always willing to spend prodigiously on common items like handbags and watches, provided they get what they want in return: quality, fashion and the envy of their friends.

This tremendous rate of growth can be explained through brand protection and limiting underperforming stores.
