Le modèle économique de la location se cherche encore

La crise climatique, la guerre et l'inflation obligent les maisons de mode et de luxe à prendre le marché de l'occasion à bras le corps. La demande pour des montres, des robes, des sacs et des bijoux de seconde main a explosé et devrait rester forte, prévoient les analystes. Ces derniers mois, plusieurs grandes maisons telles que Cartier, Rolex, Gucci et Balenciaga se sont associées à des détaillants spécialisés pour proposer des articles de seconde main. Les clients le souhaitent et c’est vers cette demande que le marché s'oriente. D'autres marques devraient leur emboîter le pas, notamment Audemars Piguet dans le domaine de l'horlogerie. Mais pourquoi acheter quand on peut simplement louer ? Cette question a donné naissance à toute une série de start-ups spécialisées dans la location de robes et de sacs à main de luxe, dont la plus connue est Rent the Runway, cotée à New York.
