High income spenders are not hurt as bad in economic downturns, plus they're the quickest to realize the benefits of an economic upswing."
lil dickie said: "You have a point. Most of the luxury retailers are "fair-valued" though."
Heather said: "It helps a lot if you offer products that are in a higher end market.
Companies like Coach and Anne Taylor never go out of style with high end consumers."

They retail from between $300 to $1500! Now that's great gross margin."
Heather said: "Extremely nice (and expensive) accessories, for sure.
They never go out of style, so at least they last a long time :D"
