The industry makes beautiful products, especially in the high end markets. The intention is usually to deliver products that last forever. Especially nowadays, with vintage items being a hot commodity, our products need to last generations. These products want to live a long life, but to live a long life they need maintenance and sometimes repair.
All these factors play into an upcoming future where maintenance and repair products can be offered for the items we buy. This ensures our products last as long as we want them to. It also plays into our desire for a more environmentally friendly way of consuming products. It’s an extra service you can provide that your client will be more than happy with.
We want to give these items the love they deserve for a longer life. Consumers want to use the best products to take care of their items, especially if their products are expensive. They want dedicated products from the brand of the item itself to maintain and repair. Just imagine a Gucci shoe polish or Burberry sewing thread.
