It has long been a fact of luxury lifestyles, that the more difficult an object is to obtain, the more people feel & believe they want it. So what actually constitutes ' limited editions' then ? The answer is that it can be a unique piece, a limited batch of production runs, one - off manufacture & in the era of multi - channel broadcasting, jewellery, cosmetics, fashion designers and retail marketers, fragmented supply pents up demand. There is no doubut that a good part of a major labels or marque brands success lies in the careful combination f appeal, heritage, innovation & quality. Casual fans of such luxe goods can only begin to appreciate the mystique with which the technical achievements & old - school accessories, kept sharp but informal - Italian driving shoes, a French woven belt, an English day bag, sets the tone. After 25 yrs., of neglect the trench coat / pea coat hybrid looks good, a popularity bordering on ubiquity. Over a faded demin shirt & dark coloured chino's or jeans and fast becomes your spring / summer flexi friend. The modern result is lopping a foot or so, off the bottom of a trad. trench, making it both skim the hips & creatinga sleek look.
