THE SEARCH FOR THE PERFECT SWAROVSKI 2088 ALTERNATIVE
In November 2020, Swarovski announced a massive corporate restructuring focused on the protection of their brand usage. The brand name Swarovski, as of November 2021, will only be used for strategic luxury partnerships. Factory layoffs, reduced capacity, inventory shortages, and brand control agreements are a just a few issues that resellers and brand owners will face. When faced with the decision on which direction to go, Rhinestones Unlimited used the words of C.E.O. Robert Buchbauer to decide on our new direction.
From Swarovski C.E.O. Robert Buchbauer: “After years of exuberant expansion, Swarovski needs to refocus and learn that less is more. That means exiting the low-margin wholesale business where cheaper competition from Egypt or China has dented profit.” (Mathias/Gretler 2020)
