Luxury Brands See Early Signs of Recovery in China

British fashion house Burberry Group PLC and Cartier-owner Cie. Financière Richemont SA said sales to Chinese shoppers were starting to pick up, an early sign of recovery in what was the luxury industry’s biggest market before the pandemic. Persistent Covid-19-related disruption in China has been a major headache for makers of high-end clothing, handbags and jewelry, which had come to rely on spending by Chinese shoppers at home and abroad over the past two decades. Now, as Beijing lifts restrictions, the question is when and how strongly Chinese spending will bounce back.
SHANGHAI, Oct 14 (Reuters) - Chinese consumers are typically known for lavish spending on high-end handbags, clothes and accessories that sustain Western luxury brands. Brands that have jumped on the trend include Kweichow Moutai (600519.SS), best known for $300 bottles of baijiu, the Chinese spirit popular at banquets. It debuted baijiu-infused ice cream at $10 a cup in May, racking up 2.5 million yuan ($350,000) of sales on the first day. Chinese consumers are "spoiling themselves with those little things and they're loving something novel," said Mark Tanner, founder of marketing agency China Skinny. "When times aren't so good, people want to feel better, guilty pleasures like ice cream can help," said Low.
