The luxury strategy studio.
Where exploration meets elevation
and education.
Strategic Foresight | Strategy Advisory | Luxury Academy
Beyond the usual luxury
– by definition and by strategy –
We are a one-of-a-kind luxury studio where a boutique advisory meets an academy.
We decode trends and the mindset just as expectations of luxury clients.
We develop strategies to elevate, (re)position the brand tailored to its unique brand code.
Always with zeitgeist and cultural relevance, never abandoning traditional codes.
As we believe in collaboration, we connect key stakeholders across the luxury industry.
Elevate your expertise and brand now –
be a pioneer and lead the way!
WHY
we do what we do
We have the strong belief that every luxury brand needs its own code to evince its relevance and mystical aura. Yet, to tap into the minds and hearts of discerned and younger consumers, a luxury brand’s strategy is no longer just about well-designed products or services with a symbolic value.
Just as the code of exclusivity is changing, the contemporary luxury code needs different elements to create relevance in the lifeworld of luxury clients. This is why Dr. Julia Riedmeier founded Code \ Luxe in January 2021.

OUR LUXURY CODE
For CODE \ LUXE, luxury must always be responsible and ahead. Otherwise, it is lavishness. Contemporary luxury brands need to make an impact. They need to leave the world better than it was to add value to society, the environment, and the economy.
Whether traditional or nouveau luxe: the elements of wellbeing, sustainability, co-creation must be visible in all perspectives.
It is not an either-or.
To unleash the power of luxury, it requires the harmonious interplay of opposites to ignite innovation, drive strategic thinking, and unlock endless possibilities. Our approach and success formula thrives on the synergy of those complementing opposites:
= [(Academia + Industry) + (Strategy + Operation) + (Analytics + Magic)]
