Sustainability Consumer Trends Consumer demand for sustainable products that are ethically-sourced, good for the environment and made by brands that have shared core beliefs has never been greater. Consumers actively seek out and purchase from brands that they know to be socially and environmentally responsible. Modern Luxury Priorities Sustainability has transitioned from a nice-to-have marketing story for high-end brands to a key marker of luxury status. Use of sustainable, alternative luxury fabrics and materials. Interest in innovative new techniques partly driven by a backlash against traditional luxury materials.
