In October 2008, Louis Vuitton (LV)and Takashi murakami made an monogramouflage mouse pad for the Japan magazine, Numero Tokyo. Many collectors searched everywhere for it, as the minimal cost of LV gifts retail over $300 in retail shop. However, this magazine was sold less than us$30. In the fashion market, Japan is a major target for designer brands. To maintain competitiveness and customer loyalty, top brands needs to cooperate with fashion magazines to launch exclusives for the readers. Such that, Coach has done many crossovers with magazines to promote the brand. Such include golden mirrors, hair bands, scarves and calendars. Again, a similar scarf would cost a retailed price of $90. Besides these, other major designer names, such as Marc Jacobs, Jill Stuart and Kate Spade, have launched exclusives for these magazines to distribute. Importantly, the price would only be 10%-20% of the similar items sold in retail stores.
