Hey! Do you know What a Bottega-Venatta Is?

Either did I, since Bottega Veneta may not be as widely recognized as its more famous luxe-label sisters, but to wealthy consumers, the lesser-known line is the most prestigious luxury fashion brand.

In the 2006 Luxury Brand Status Index survey (LBSI) of Luxury Fashion Designers conducted by the New York-based Luxury Institute, Bottega edged out both Hermès and Armani to claim top rating.

The Luxury Institute surveyed a national sample of more than 500 households with a minimum of $200,000 in gross annual income and a minimum net worth of $750,000.

Wealthy customers who were surveyed rated 21 leading luxury fashion brands based on their perceptions of critical brand reputation metrics. Brands rated included: Armani, Bottega Veneta, Burberry, Calvin Klein, Chanel, Christian Dior, Coach, Dolce & Gabbana, Façonnable, Fendi, Ferragamo, Gucci, Hermès, Hugo Boss, Izod, Lacoste, Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Polo Ralph Lauren, Prada, Versace and Yves St. Laurent

Bottega Veneta's relatively low public awareness level of 21 percent, versus Hermès, which garnered 55 percent recognition, and Armani, which drew 74 percent, portends a strong future for the classic Italian brand, which is part of the Gucci Group portfolio.

"Those who know the brand rated it highest in quality, highest in uniqueness and exclusivity, as the brand most used by people who are admired and respected, and the brand most able to make its customers feel special," Milton Pedraza, CEO of the Luxury Institute, said in a release. "No surprise then, that it was rated the most worthy of a significant price premium."

The Luxury Institute's independent surveys are designed to measure brand performance from the perspective of the wealthy consumer. Publications include the monthly Wealth Report, the Luxury Brand Status Index surveys, the Luxury Best Practices surveys and the Luxury Consumer Experience Index surveys.

Very interesting information!Perfect just what I was searching for!

I thought this was a fantastic blog, not only great writing but it has a great layout, well done.

I've been surfing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be a lot more useful than ever before.

Fairly good posting here,. I by no means considered that I will catch any information like that ,however your publish really assist me.Awesome things are sharing here.I like your put up ,Now I am ready for your next post.So keep writing.

Fantastic goods from you, man. I have understand your stuff previous to and you're just extremely excellent. I really like what you've acquired here, certainly like what you are stating and the way in which you say it. You make it enjoyable and you still take care of to keep it sensible. I cant wait to read far more from you. This is really a terrific website.

hey there and thank you for your info – I have definitely picked up something new from right here. I did however expertise a few technical points using this web site, as I experienced to reload the website many times previous to I could get it to load correctly. I had been wondering if your web host is OK? Not that I am complaining, but slow loading instances times will sometimes affect your placement in google and can damage your quality score if ads and marketing with Adwords. Anyway I am adding this RSS to my e-mail and could look out for a lot more of your respective exciting content. Make sure you update this again very soon..

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

Armin is had also a lot egg nog.

I have a whole new 1 for the worst:

Th is information really helped me, I'm sharing that has a couple of friends.

I feel youve produced some truly interesting points. Not too many folks would in fact believe about this the way you just did. Im actually impressed that theres so considerably about this subject thats been uncovered and you did it so well, with so considerably class. Great one you, man! Really fantastic stuff here.
