A Balenciaga handbag made to look like a garbage bag sells for Rs 2.7 lakh, while a Lamborghini-branded stroller costs over Rs 1 lakh. Wealthy Indian shoppers are shifting from logo-heavy status symbols to rare, eccentric, and often impractical limited-edition products, according to luxury retailers and concierge services cited by livemint.com. The demand comes as India's ultra-high-net-worth population grows: Knight Frank's Wealth Report 2026 counted 19,877 people with net worth over $30 million, projected to rise 27% by 2031. Brands like Louis Vuitton and Dior use limited drops to create scarcity, with some items selling out in minutes. Concierge firms charge 10-15% margins to source such products internationally.
