'Taking this journey through the history of luxury becomes easy to understand due to the manner in which this book is written. The words are simple and explicit so the reader can follow with ease and understand the great achievements of the masters and founders of the luxury brands, from the smaller firm to the most well-known establishments which are part of conglomerates.
» Norman Schwartz, Goodreads
In reading though the book one can travel the road of luxury and feel a part of it, a travelogue of invention in a space formally owned by the rich and “haves”, not the “have nots”. Now it’s in the purview of all of us, how wonderful. [...] This book is well-written and I recommend it for all sorts of business, management and social science classes as well as to anyone who is just looking for a serious and yet fun reading of an important business and cultural topic.'

'This multi-authored innovative study brings together the differing perspectives of academics and practitioners in an analysis that is not only readable, informative and up-to-date but which also packs a powerful punch. It will excite anyone with an interest in luxury whether as a producer, consumer or critic.'

'An important contribution to the study of material culture, Crafting Luxury brings to us a range of perspectives that collectively deconstruct the premises - and promises - of what luxury means today. With candour, insight and deep criticality, the book collectively helps us interrogate our assumptions about worth and meaning, acquisition and innovation, and sustainable practices for a better tomorrow.'
