This is a podcast for anyone fascinated by the world of luxury—its stories, icons, and business. Hosted by Dr Debbie Coney, a luxury branding expert with over a decade’s experience working at luxury brands such as Jo Malone, L’Oréal, De Beers, Clarins, and Godiva. Debbie is now a luxury specialist at the University of Southampton with over 13 years’ experience leading and directing master’s-level luxury education, founder of Coney Luxury, luxury brand strategist, media panellist, and published author in leading books and journals, including The Oxford Handbook of Luxury Business. Join conversations exploring the forces, ideas, and narratives shaping the world of luxury today.

Debbie is interested in people, journeys, ambition and lifestyle. If you have a story to tell and would like to join in the conversation, Debbie and the media team would love to hear from you.
