For luxury founders navigating today’s uncertain economy, the pressure is real.
You’re raising your prices… but worried about losing your most loyal customers.
You’re scaling… but afraid of diluting your exclusivity.
You’re pitching investors… but they just don’t get your business.
These aren’t surface-level frustrations—they’re strategic crossroads. In Episode 9 of the Money & Mimosas Podcast, we answer your most pressing questions and reveal the path forward.
This episode is part of our series exploring the luxury market’s evolution—from the hard lessons of the 2008 global financial crisis to the shifts happening now in 2025.
Why This Episode Matters Right Now
The global luxury market is experiencing a slowdown. Sales growth has softened, consumer behavior is shifting, and founders are left rethinking their pricing, positioning, and investor conversations.
But economic uncertainty doesn’t mean you should shrink.
It’s your invitation to refine.
In Episode 9, we answer real questions from our community on how to adapt and thrive, not just survive.
The Questions We Dive Into
1. “I want to raise my prices, but I’m afraid of losing customers.”
We unpack the psychology behind luxury pricing—and why pricing for status, scarcity, and story is key to building long-term brand value.
Takeaway: Your pricing isn't just a reflection of materials. It's a reflection of your brand's position in the market.
2. “How do I scale my luxury business without diluting exclusivity?”
Too often, scaling becomes synonymous with losing control. But as we discuss, it doesn’t have to be.
Takeaway: Real scaling is strategic. It means deepening brand identity, strengthening core product lines, and expanding only where you can maintain intimacy and excellence.
3. “How do I get investors to see my luxury brand as a high-value opportunity?”
Investors are often trained to see value through the lens of mass scalability. That’s why luxury founders must educate and reframe.
Takeaway: Position your brand as a luxury asset class. Think heirloom jewelry, fine art, rare wine. Show investors that exclusivity, heritage, and cultural capital appreciate over time.
Mindset Shift for Luxury founders
Behind each question lies a common thread: the belief that economic pressure means you must compromise your vision.
But here’s the truth we share in this episode:
✨ Luxury isn’t about chasing every opportunity. It’s about creating your own economy—one rooted in clarity, values, and discernment.
