happykittn Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 Interesting post, kitty...This is common in the luxury goods industries and also the Auto industry...For example, the LVMH reference you gave included...Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessey: Moet & Chandon, Dom Perignon, Hennessey, Louis Vuitton, Loewe, Celine, Kenzo, Givenchy, Christian Lacroix, Marc Jacobs, Fendi, Emilio Pucci, Thomas Pink, DKNY, TAG Heuer, De Beers, Sephora, Ebel and various fragrancesHowever that was only partially complete... here is the whole list of products the group sells:Wines and Spirits:Moët & Chandon *Dom PérignonVeuve Clicquot *KrugMercierRuinartCanard-DuchêneChâteau d'Yquem *Chandon Estates *Cloudy BayCape MentelleHennessy *NewtonMountAdamWatches:TAG Heuer *Ebel *Zenith *Christian Dior Watches *Fred *Chaumet *Omas *Fashion and Leather goods: Louis Vuitton *Loewe *Celine *Berluti *Kenzo *Givenchy *Christian Lacroix *Marc Jacobs *Fendi *StefanoBiEmilio Pucci *Thomas Pink *Donna Karan *Selective RetailingDFS *Miami Cruiseline Services *Sephora *Le Bon Marché *La Samaritaine *Perfumes and Cosmetics: Parfums Christian Dior *Guerlain *Parfums Givenchy *Kenzo Parfums *Laflachère *Bliss *BeneFit Cosmetics *Fresh *Make Up For Ever *Acqua di Parma *Other Companies/ActivitesTajan *D.I group *Connaissance des Arts *sephora.com *eLUXURY *You can check out their website here:http://www.lvmh.com/Also there are two other major conglomerates in the luxury goods market that come to mind,The first is Richemont who own/control:CartierVan Cleef and ArpelsPiagetBaume and MercierInternational Watch Company (IWC)Jaeger LeCoultreA.lange & SohnePaneraiVacheron ConstantinDunhillLancelMontblancMontegrappaPurdeyChloeHackettOld EnglandShanghai Tanghttp://www.richemont.com/brands/allbrands.phpAnd finally Swatch which owns:BreguetETABlancpainGlashuette OriginalJaquet DrozLeon HatotOmegaRadoLonginesUnion GlashuetteBalmainCK WatchTissotCertinaHamiltonDress Your BodyEnduraFlik FlakSwatchMidoLes Boutiqueshttp://www.swatchgroup.com/brands/brands.phpI personally find it very interesting how this can proliferate through the luxury goods market as it has, with Autos it is a little easier to understand for me. Especially when you look at a brand like Swatch, they must have made a killing by ripping people off with those little cheap plastic watches and selling them at $60-80 a piece to be able to buy all of those high end companies and now control much of the Swiss watch industry. Sure $60-$80 doesn't seem like much, but when you think they manufactured those for pennies... well, the profit must have been staggering in the 80s.

kitty19 Posted June 10 Author Report Share Posted June 10 hey there! you actually included a lot of licensed brands, which is different from actually owning a brand. LVMH is the owner of a lot of licenses to create fragrances for tons of designers, but don't actually own the company.if thats the case, we can go on forever! kind of like how kenneth cole and DKNY shirts are made by phillips-van heusen, how jones new york owns a bunch of polo labels...
