The report is based on responses from more than 4,700 luxury consumers, with an average income of $220,200.
Among the notable trends: American luxury car brands gained in popularity, as Euro-brands declined, and department stores continued to lose shoppers, who instead chose to spend in luxury-branded boutiques.
"The personal luxuries market has changed by more than just who is buying and how much they are spending," writes Pam Danziger, founder of Unity, in the report. "Affluent consumers are also buying a different basket of personal luxury items from a different slate of distribution channels."
