Despite the difficult economy background, China’s luxury market experienced a double-digit growth while Dior increased the price of Lady Dior handbag.

It is predicted that total revenue falls when price of Lady Dior rises. This is because of the elastic demand will lead to a fall in quantity demand but proportionately larger than the rise in price. However, the financial report of Dior has shown a rises total revenue and increase in demand for luxury goods.
