While new 30% U.S. tariffs rattle some European industries, luxury producers like Vienna’s iconic Lobmeyr glassware are chilling like 🧊. Why? Their VIP clientele isn’t sweating price hikes.
"Luxury buyers aren’t price-sensitive," says Leonid Rath, Lobmeyr’s managing partner, whose crystal chandeliers light up palaces and opera houses worldwide. The 200-year-old brand sends 20% of its products to the U.S. – but Rath insists tariffs won’t dent sales. "Americans will pay. They want quality."
From Habsburg royalty to New York’s Met Opera, Lobmeyr’s bling has defined opulence for generations. Now, they’re betting big on the 1%’s loyalty. 💸 "Our customers value craftsmanship over cost," Rath adds, channeling the unshakable confidence of a brand that survived two world wars.
While other EU sectors brace for impact, this glittering corner of the market proves: when you’re selling dreams, even tariffs can’t dim the sparkle. ✨
