Core Content

This report analyzes the handbag product mix and pricing strategies of major luxury brands in the second half of 2025 and sets a baseline for 2026. It focuses on the impact of new creative directors at Gucci and Dior, and how these changes may influence product mix adjustments. The analysis includes data from five brands (Burberry, Gucci, Prada, Louis Vuitton, and Dior) across six countries (France, China, Japan, the UK, the USA, and the UAE), with additional data on Chanel and Moncler.

Main Points

• New Creative Directors: Gucci and Dior are set to debut new collections in 1Q26, which could lead to significant changes in their product mix.
• Product Mix Adjustments: Brands are re-evaluating their product mix to better engage entry-level customers and address the challenges faced in 2025.
• Pricing Analysis:
  • Burberry's handbags are the most accessibly priced, mostly below €2k.
  • Dior's handbags are the most expensive, with an interquartile range of €2.6k to €4k.
  • Gucci's median is just above €2k.
  • Prada and Louis Vuitton have a core product mix in the €2k to €3k range, with a median of €2.6k.
• SKUs Stability:
  • Over 60% of Burberry, Gucci, and Dior's handbag SKUs are new, indicating a significant product mix change.
  • Prada and Louis Vuitton have over 50% of their SKUs unchanged, reflecting more stable strategies.
• Expected Changes in 2026:
  • Burberry is expected to continue adjusting its lower-end mix as part of its 'Burberry Forward' strategy.
  • Gucci and Dior are likely to make more product mix changes in 1H26, especially at the lower end of their price ranges.
  • Prada and Louis Vuitton may face pressure to change their strategies, especially with the rise of Louis Vuitton's centenary-themed products and Prada's accessible nylon offerings.
• Investment Implications:
  • A gradual recovery of global luxury demand is expected in FY26E, with a 5% currency growth.
  • Investment strategy should rotate from self-help to high-quality names like Hermès, Richemont, and LVMH.
  • Richemont is the top preference due to strong jewellery momentum.
  • LVMH is in between high-quality and self-help, with potential for long-only inflows.
  • Burberry is a preferred self-help story due to its turnaround plan and consumer tailwinds.
  • Short Kering and long Prada are suggested, with monitoring of Gucci and Versace's strategic communication.
