...Limited-edition, old, or commemorative bottlings from big names like The Macallan and Johnnie Walker are often a good investment – and collectors will pay a lot if a mini helps them complete a set....
...Like Pernod, much of its investment will produce premium blends, such as its Johnnie Walker range, popular in emerging markets....
...I could easily imagine Paul Smith and Johnnie Boden in the same wardrobe, Emma Bridgewater’s china and James Dyson’s appliances in the same kitchen....
...There are slight differences but Ralph Lauren was the real pioneer....
...Brand highlights: Ralph Lauren is seeking better control over its products to maintain its prestigious brand image, and has seen strong demand for its “collection” products....
