i would say mercedes or jaguar...esp since those are very popular in other countries and not just the US. maybe BMW.

i wouldn't say LV as it's still kind of a niche market...more like Chanel probably. Coco!

is Tiffany worldwide or just US?

What about Cadillac?

That's a word that has become a pseudonym for the "best"...e.g.,  "that's the cadillac of hot water heaters"

With the restriction to "most ladies"  it would have to be "Oil of Olay,"  The largest selling facial cleansing cream in the world - and sold in most of the countries in the world (up until a few years ago Oil of Olay was the larges selling cosmetic line in the world - and they only have one product).  Cosmetics by definition are a luxury item.

I would like to nominate for honerable mention:  Charmin (the bathroom tissue).  Now I admit that it is not sold in most countries in the world.  But for those Americans and Canadians who think I am kidding - just travel to most of the rest of the world and find out what is used for toilet tissue in those places...

i didn't know toilet tissue were luxury item  but,i do admit some ghetto places in Mexico charge 25 cents for toilet tissue.

Hi:

In my travels, the most emulated logos I've consistently recognized are the following:

1)  Rolex, Swatch  
2)  Ralph Lauren (Polo)
3)  Hermes 
4)  Gucci 
5)  Previously,  La Coste
6)  LV

cheers--Sharon

For males and females, I would say Rolex and Mercedes definitely. ALthough most men know what the LV stands for these days!

Dancing Fire:

Toliet tissue is not a luxury item.  Soft & absorbant tissue is... 

Or, to copy a quote off of the bathroom wall from a decade ago... When 3M was running a series of adds for a variety of products...  (another fine qualtiy abrasive from 3M)



To others:  I don't have a clue what LV is.

is Tiffany worldwide or just US?

Its all over but not everywhere...one on St. Thomas (although that is still US), they have a section in Harrods in London, they're also in some department stores in Paris. I'm sure they're other places too, that's what I've seen though.

As for most recognized luxury symbol....
I'd have to go with one of the cars, like Mercedez or BMW
I know cadillac has become a reference for other things, but I honestly wouldnt know what their symbol looks like.

Dancing Fire:

3M  ==>  Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing.   Of course they have not been in the Mining business for many decades. 

I admit that I have a geography advantage in knowing that as it is regional knowledge.

So what is LV?  Asking another question does not answer the question I asked.

I find it interesting that you are claiming it as the most recognized, and I don't know it.

Thanks MSB.

I'll still stick with Oil of Olay, their worldwide sales proves it in the face of many other (and often cheaper - lower quality) competitors.  Of course, there is nothing wrong with the other high quality facial cleansing products - but everyone who uses them knows about Oil of Olay.

IT is very hard for you to be American and understand things outside america.

Tiffany is a brand, but not a luxury brand in the sense of Cartier and Harry Winston.
Polo is a label.
Channel, Armarni and Zegna etc are brands

But the clear and way out front leading luxury item is this one, and it does not even need a logo to sustain it:

hmm....  i guess it all depends on how you deffine luxury.

i think garry is onto something with diamonds.   they are probably the most widely recognized luxury item



however, as apparent here.   are they still recognized as high luxury since they are attainable by so many?  everyone here talks about diamonds all day, yet it was 20 posts before they were even mentioned.

i look at luxury items as things that are truly above status quo.  tomorrow morning i will most likely see 50 LV bags on my way into work.  looking outside my window i see 3 BMW’s and 2 Mercedes parked on the street.  i don’t know if those trigger the response of awe and “luxury” anymore.     

for that reason, i think the most recognized and respected luxury brand would be this horse right here....  whether stopped or moving, everyone watches it...wide eyed...jaw slightly open.

Yes... If I had a dollar for every BMW 3 series I see tooling around here, I could retire.

A lot of "luxury" brands have begun to cater to the masses to make more money. You can lease a BMW 3 series for $299 a month. I call them the "every man" car because "every man (and woman)" that I know who gets a couple of dollars in his/her pocket seems to run out and get one of these cars. I even looked at them recently! It was actually kind of a let down on several levels, but that's another story.

Anyway, I am only speaking form my slice of experience as one person in one part of the country.

Ferrari makes more money out of selling merchandice (t-shirts, pens and posters) then they do from selling cars.
