>Louis Vuitton buys Tiffany
LV母公司購蒂凡尼定錘

The world's biggest luxury goods company is buying US-based jeweler Tiffany & Co for more than $16 billion.
全球最大奢侈品公司將以逾160億美元(約合人民幣1125億元)的價格收購美國珠寶公司蒂凡尼。

The largest luxury goods deal to date gives LVMH's billionaire owner Bernard Arnault a bigger slice of one of the fastest growing upmarket sectors.
這一史上最大奢侈品行業(yè)收購交易將讓酩悅·軒尼詩-路易·威登(LVMH)集團(tuán)的億萬富翁老板伯納德·阿諾特在快速增長的高檔消費市場分得更大一杯羹。

He said Tiffany had an "unparalleled heritage" and fitted with his other brands.
阿諾特表示，蒂凡尼有"無可比擬的傳承"，和他擁有的其他品牌很搭。

The brand is associated with diamond rings but it has lost its appeal in recent years, according to Fiona Cincotta, market analyst at City Index.
城市指數(shù)公司的市場分析師菲奧娜·欽科塔稱，蒂凡尼是知名的鉆戒品牌，但近年來已經(jīng)失去了對消費者的吸引力。

She said that there had been a "changing of the times". "It's not quite keeping up with millennials so it just needs a re-boost and a re-brand," she said.
她說，"時代已經(jīng)變了。蒂凡尼已經(jīng)跟不上千禧一代的步伐，因此它需要重啟和品牌重塑。"
