Growth is the largest challenge to get a luxury brand for the reason that volume dilutes the brand cachet. In addition, it offends the credo of rarity on which the luxury sector is originally based.

Artification takes investment that is substantial and timely. It requires the active collaboration of distinguished artists and art authorities.
