Can luxury still rely on instinct alone? For decades, the luxury industry has nurtured the myth of the visionary creator, guided by an almost mystical intuition. But in 2025, that is no longer enough. Even the greatest — Karl Lagerfeld among them — knew that instinct means little without knowledge. Books back then, a deep understanding of trends, markets, and competition today. Take Hermès: its success was never a matter of chance. As early as 1923, the house identified the zipper on American military equipment and integrated it into its bags. Why? Because it had analyzed the rise of automobiles and the growing need for practicality among travelers. Were Hermès still focussing on horse saddles, not sure it would be where it is. Today, this ability to anticipate is also magnified by data. At Luxurynsight, we help luxury brands structure this intelligence. Understanding their market & competition, detecting weak signals, identifying emerging trends — data has become a strategic compass. Intuition remains the soul of luxury, but on its own, it is no longer enough. It is by combining instinct with analysis, creativity with data that luxury houses will continue to innovate and thrive. For at least another 150 years.

𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 When Vorwerk introduced direct sales in 1935, it didn’t just establish a business model – it created a direct connection between customers and the company. This proximity has been a key advantage from the very beginning, not only in sales but also in research, development, and production. The direct communication through our advisors continues to this day, providing invaluable customer feedback that flows straight into the development of our products. Whether it’s designing new features for the Thermomix or optimizing Kobold products, insights from the daily use of our devices are an essential part of our innovation process. Our research and development teams work closely with production to transform these insights into smart and user-focused solutions. This seamless integration of customer interaction and technological advancement is what keeps the direct sales model both relevant and future-proof. A perfect example of this is the new Thermomix TM7. From the very beginning, customer feedback has played a decisive role in its development. Which functions truly make a difference in cooking? Where can we simplify, improve, or rethink details to make cooking even more intuitive? These are insights we gain through close exchange with our customers — and they are exactly what have shaped the TM7. By staying true to its tradition while embracing cutting-edge methods, Vorwerk continues to create products that simplify and enrich the everyday lives of our customers.

BMR is proud to announce the expansion of its network in the Outaouais region, thanks to the acquisition of a new store by the Émile Charette & Fils team. As of today, Comptoir agricole Salette officially becomes BMR Express Notre-Dame-de-la-Salette, with the goal of making it a specialized establishment, notably by offering Agrizone products.   Located in the Buckingham sector of Gatineau, Émile Charette & Fils has been well-established since the founding of its first store, a general store at the time, in 1956. In 1993, the business was taken over by the family of Ms. Josée Levert, who remains the sole shareholder to this day. Driven by a clear vision for growth and a passion for business development, Ms. Levert is today making a second strategic acquisition with the goal of creating synergy between service points, optimizing operating costs, and consolidating the company's regional presence.   "We are very proud to announce the integration of this branch, which has been deeply rooted in our community for over 50 years. This acquisition represents an opportunity to diversify our offering, reach a new market segment, and actively participate in local development, a fundamental value for our team," says Josee Levert.   In the short term, interior and exterior renovations will be undertaken to modernize the store and update its layout. A review of the product selection and an enhancement of the agricultural and materials offerings are also planned, with the goal of better meeting the needs of the current market and supporting all types of projects.   "We are pleased to see our brand take even deeper root in Quebec thanks to the Émile Charette & Fils team, a family business that embodies human values of passion and trust. This strategic acquisition surely marks the beginning of a promising growth phase for the organization," emphasizes Antonio Di Pasquale, Chief Operating Officer.
