BIGGEST SCOOP: Rolex, Hermès & Chanel bring in 2024 with a significant Price Hike. (Apparel/Finance)

Canary’s whispers that…Biggest Luxe Brands have hiked their prices causing a stir in the market. Here are the top 3 on the list.

1) Rolex dropped a shocking surprise as they welcomed 2024 with prices rising more than 3x, i.e., from US$ 5,000 in 2011 to US$ 14,000 by the end of 2023. In 2024, they’ve declared a hike of 4%-7%. However, its home, Switzerland sees no price change whereas Australia sees a 7%-8% hike! 

2) Hermès too was quick in presenting its new prices! However, it’s a surprising move from their end since they barely ever increase their prices. From a 4%-8% hike in Kelly to 8-10% in Birkin, & 10% in their shoe prices, Hermès has left everyone counting their fortune!

3) Chanel is known for being an investment because of its consistently increasing prices. Especially the Classic Flap is known to have doubled in price from when it was launched. Canary thinks, it’s an apt time to put your priced possessions out in the market for buyers. Who knows… you might hit a jackpot!💲

Flashback to 1965: Marc Bohan of Dior and the iconic Saint Phalle started a fashion-art love affair. Fast forward to 2024, Dior's bringing this chic alliance back to life. They're honouring Saint Phalle with a capsule collection that's pure artistry — named 'Tu Es Mon Dragon', “Strength” and ‘Foulard Zodaique’. The Lady Dior and Dior Book Tote get a zodiac makeover, while T-shirts and denim dazzle with dragon motifs. Canary loves a blend of classic elegance and artistic flair, a true homage to a timeless partnership!

The E.U. Strikes a Sparkling Blow: Imports from the World's Top Diamond Miner Now Banned. (Jewellery)

As of January 1, European shores are saying 'no thank you' to Russian diamonds, shutting down a significant revenue stream for Russia's Alrosa. The twist? Diamonds processed in third countries are still in the clear, but only until September. It's a dazzling shake-up in the world of luxury. According to a post on X by E.U., bigwig Josep Borrell thinks, the group seeks to “deprive Russia of this important revenue source.” Canary thinks the Russia-Ukraine war has caused a big explosion 🥲

💡Luxury Tidbit 💡

Did you know that it takes about five hours to hand-stitch a Bentley steering wheel? Renowned for its luxurious cars, it takes pride in its meticulous craftsmanship.

Bentley's commitment to craftsmanship reaches its pinnacle in the creation of their steering wheels. Each wheel is a product of about five hours of skilled hand-stitching, and stands as a symbol of Bentley's dedication to detail and luxury.

Expert artisans select only the most exquisite leather, known for its softness and durability, ensuring that every touch conveys a sense of opulence. The stitching itself is an intricate process, requiring a high level of precision and care, which results in not only an aesthetically pleasing design but also functional durability that withstands the test of time.

This meticulous attention to the tactile and visual aspects of the steering wheel is reflective of Bentley's ethos—to blend technical mastery with the luxury experience, providing drivers with a sense of elegance and unparalleled quality in every journey.

This ensures not only aesthetic perfection but also a tactile experience that's uniquely Bentley.
