How the luxury goods research was conducted

Baymard’s luxury goods collection applies research-based evaluation to brands whose sites serve both product shopping and brand exploration. Source coverage includes Chanel, Gucci, Jimmy Choo, Louis Vuitton, Bang & Olufsen and Van Cleef & Arpels. The research examines navigation, search, product listings, product information and mobile experiences across these different luxury categories.

Usability findings provide criteria for understanding common shopping difficulties, and manual benchmarking assesses how real sites address them. The resulting guidelines, scores and examples help teams consider functional needs alongside visual presentation. Findings also draw on wider ecommerce research. Teams can explore alternative implementations while planning an experience that supports both discovering a brand and evaluating its products.
