🇬🇧 In this new Best-Of of Podcast du Luxe, I share the conversation I had with Sandrine Conseiller, CEO of De Beers Brands, condensed into its strongest moments. 🎯 After nearly twenty years at Unilever, where she took over Sunsilk, a struggling billion-euro brand nobody wanted, Sandrine Conseiller led the transformations of Lacoste and then Aigle. At the end of 2023, De Beers came looking for her directly, with a clear mandate: to reawaken the brands of a house that has shaped how the world desires diamonds since 1888. She shares a clear-eyed view of both her field and her role. For her, a natural diamond is a three-billion-year-old stone from a finite resource, something no laboratory can reproduce. As for transformation, it is hard because the business has to keep running while it changes, and its real impact only shows after four to five years. We also go into her method. Listening to clients before changing anything, rebuilding the executive committee for each new mandate, and that rare ability to adapt to her team rather than asking the team to adapt to her. 🔍 In this episode:⚫ Africa and the economic role of De Beers, from exploration to creation⚫ Traceability from the mine to the window, and what it changes for a client⚫ How to realign a heritage brand, and what it does to the P&L⚫ The loneliness of a CEO taking over, and why change takes years to show⚫ The gap between how much people dream of diamonds and what they actually buy⚫ Why, in her view, natural and lab-grown diamonds have nothing in common A powerful episode that puts rarity, transformation and human leadership back at the heart of contemporary luxury. ▶️ All listening links: https://tr.ee/h2cRFI-pYj📲 Find us on Instagram and LinkedIn⭐ If you enjoyed the episode, rate it, leave a comment and share it #PodcastDuLuxe #SandrineConseiller #DeBeers #Diamonds #FineJewellery #NaturalDiamonds #Transformation #Leadership #LuxuryStrategy #LuxuryIndustry #BestOf

🇫🇷 Dans ce nouvel épisode Best-Of du Podcast du Luxe, je vous partage ma conversation avec Sandrine Conseiller, CEO de De Beers Brands, condensée sur ses moments les plus forts. 🎯 Après près de vingt ans chez Unilever, où elle reprend Sunsilk, une marque à un milliard en difficulté dont personne ne voulait, Sandrine Conseiller mène les transformations de Lacoste puis d’Aigle. Fin 2023, De Beers vient la chercher directement, avec une mission claire : réveiller les marques d’une maison qui façonne depuis 1888 la manière dont le monde désire le diamant. Elle partage une vision lucide de son secteur comme de son rôle. Pour elle, un diamant naturel est une pierre de trois milliards d’années, issue d’une ressource finie, qu’aucun laboratoire ne peut reproduire. Quant à la transformation, elle est difficile parce qu’il faut faire tourner l’entreprise tout en la changeant, et son vrai impact ne se voit qu’au bout de quatre à cinq ans. Nous entrons aussi dans sa méthode. Écouter les clients avant de changer quoi que ce soit, reconstruire le comité de direction à chaque nouveau mandat, et cette capacité rare à s’adapter à son équipe plutôt que de lui demander de s’adapter à elle. 🔍 Dans cet épisode : ⚫ L’Afrique et le rôle économique de De Beers, de l’exploration à la création ⚫ La traçabilité de la mine à la vitrine, et ce qu’elle change pour un client ⚫ Comment réaligner une marque patrimoniale, et ce que cela change pour le P&L ⚫ La solitude du CEO en prise de poste, et pourquoi le changement met des années à se voir ⚫ L’écart entre le rêve que suscite le diamant et ce que l’on achète réellement ⚫ Pourquoi, selon elle, diamant naturel et diamant de synthèse n’ont rien à voir Un épisode puissant qui replace la rareté, la transformation et le leadership humain au cœur du luxe contemporain. ▶️ Tous les liens d’écoute : https://tr.ee/h2cRFI-pYj 📲 Retrouvez-nous sur Instagram et LinkedIn ⭐ Si l’épisode vous a plu, notez-le, laissez un commentaire et partagez-le #PodcastDuLuxe #SandrineConseiller #DeBeers #Diamonds #Joaillerie #NaturalDiamonds #Transformation #Leadership #LuxuryStrategy #LuxuryIndustry #BestOf

🇬🇧🎧 This week on the Podcast du Luxe, I welcome Sandrine Conseiller, CEO of De Beers Brands. After nearly twenty years at Unilever, where she took over Sunsilk, a struggling billion-euro brand nobody wanted, she moved to Lacoste, where EBITDA tripled and the brand became cool again, then became CEO of Aigle. In late 2023, De Beers came looking for her directly. Her mission is to reawaken the brands of the only diamond company covering the entire chain, from exploration to creation. That includes the new De Beers London boutique on rue de la Paix, the launch of Origin in the US, and traceability of every stone back to its country and mine. Today, she leads De Beers London, Forevermark and Origin, and runs a team of CEOs for the first time. 🔍 In this episode:⚫ Africa and the economic role of De Beers, from the exploration to the creation⚫ How to realign a heritage brand, and what it does to the P&L⚫ The loneliness of a CEO taking over, and why change takes years to show⚫ Why natural and lab-grown diamonds have nothing in common ▶️ Subscribe: https://linktr.ee/loudana📲 Instagram: @podcastduluxe | LinkedIn: Podcast du Luxe⭐ Rate, comment, save and share the episode! 🇫🇷FR 🎧 Cette semaine sur le Podcast du Luxe, je reçois Sandrine Conseiller, CEO de De Beers Brands.

🇬🇧 In this new Best-Of episode of Podcast du Luxe, discover the vision of a leader who brought aesthetic medicine into the codes of accessible luxury.🎯 After studying finance and working at Rothschild, Tracy Cohen Sayag joined her father's clinic, Clinique des Champs-Élysées, at 23, right as it was going through a difficult period. She quickly built a clear conviction: make aesthetic medicine accessible to everyone, without ever cutting corners on medical rigor.Throughout this conversation, she shares a sharp take on luxury: rejecting the idea that price alone defines access to quality care, making the presence of a doctor a non-negotiable rule rather than a marketing argument, and democratizing without ever diluting the standard.We go back over the foundations of her model: the strategic pivot from surgery to aesthetic medicine, building a network of 21 clinics across France and internationally, her vision of data as a medical tool, and her rare conviction that accessibility matters more than exclusivity.An inspiring episode that puts accessibility, rigor and longevity at the heart of contemporary luxury.🎧 Don't miss this Best-Of!

🇫🇷 Dans ce nouvel épisode Best-Of du Podcast du Luxe, découvrez la vision d'une dirigeante qui a fait entrer la médecine esthétique dans les codes du luxe accessible. 🎯 Passée par des études de finance puis par Rothschild, Tracy Cohen Sayag rejoint à 23 ans la clinique de son père, la Clinique des Champs-Élysées, alors en pleine période difficile. Elle y développe très tôt une conviction claire : rendre la médecine esthétique accessible à tous, sans jamais rogner sur l'exigence médicale. À travers cet échange, elle partage une réflexion incisive sur le luxe : refuser l'idée que le prix seul définit l'accès à un acte de qualité, faire du médecin une règle non négociable plutôt qu'un argument marketing, et démocratiser sans jamais diluer l'exigence. Nous revenons sur les fondements de son modèle : le virage stratégique de la chirurgie vers la médecine esthétique, la construction d'un réseau de 21 cliniques en France et à l'international, sa vision de la donnée comme outil médical, et cette conviction rare de préférer l'accessibilité à l'exclusivité. Un épisode inspirant qui replace l'accessibilité, l'exigence et la longévité au cœur du luxe contemporain. 🎧 Ne manquez pas ce Best-Of !

Digitalisation, data, changement de modèle : elle transforme progressivement l’entreprise familiale et fait le pari de la médecine esthétique plutôt que de la chirurgie.

In this new Best-Of episode of Podcast du Luxe, discover the perspective of Jean and Adrien Cassegrain, who chose to transform a family house without ever betraying its identity. 🎯 Founded in Paris in 1948, Longchamp grew from around forty employees to several thousand worldwide, until Adrien joined the family business in 2020, in the middle of lockdown, with a clear conviction: keep a legacy alive without ever freezing it in place. Throughout this conversation, they share a reflection on what it means to pass down a house: refusing pure marketing logic , reducing to better assert what matters, and treating responsibility as something inherited rather than imposed. We look back at the foundations of that transmission: the birth of Le Pliage in 1993 and its early logic of eco-design, a one-third reduction of the leather goods assortment during Covid, the move into ready-to-wear, the new artistic direction led by Sophie Cassegrain, and the house's B Corp label, which Adrien describes as "a little difficult to get". A powerful episode that puts transmission, discretion, and family consistency at the heart of contemporary luxury. 🎧 Don't miss this Best-Of!

Dans ce nouvel épisode Best-Of du Podcast du Luxe, découvrez le regard de Jean et Adrien Cassegrain, qui ont choisi de transformer une maison familiale sans jamais renier son identité.🎯 Fondée à Paris en 1948, la maison est passée d'une quarantaine de collaborateurs à plusieurs milliers dans le monde, jusqu'à ce qu'Adrien rejoigne l'entreprise familiale en 2020, en pleine période de confinement, avec une conviction claire : faire vivre un héritage sans jamais le figer.À travers cet échange, ils partagent une réflexion sur ce que veut dire transmettre une maison : refuser la logique du marketing pur ("on n'est pas une marque bâtie sur du marketing, on est une marque bâtie sur des produits"), réduire pour mieux affirmer l'essentiel, et faire de la responsabilité un principe hérité plutôt qu'imposé.Nous revenons sur les fondements de cette transmission : la naissance du Pliage en 1993 et sa logique d'éco-conception avant l'heure, la réduction d'un tiers de l'assortiment maroquinerie pendant le Covid, le virage vers le prêt-à-porter, la nouvelle direction artistique portée par Sophie Cassegrain, et l'obtention du label B Corp, décrite par Adrien comme "un peu difficile à avoir".Un épisode puissant qui replace la transmission, la discrétion et la cohérence familiale au cœur du luxe contemporain.🎧 Ne manquez pas ce Best-Of, disponible sur toutes nos plateformes en français🇫🇷 et en anglais🇬🇧!Pensez à vous abonner, noter le podcast, laisser un commentaire et partager l'épisode pour soutenir le projet et faire rayonner le luxe autrement.

FR/EN👇 🇫🇷FR🎧 Dans ce premier épisode de la Saison 3 du Podcast du Luxe, j'ai le plaisir de recevoir Jean Cassegrain, Président de Longchamp, et son fils Adrien Cassegrain, Directeur de la Transformation et de la RSE de la maison. Jean Cassegrain dirige aujourd'hui la maison fondée par son grand-père en 1948, à l'origine une marque de pipes en cuir avant de devenir l'un des plus grands noms de la maroquinerie française. Il a grandi dans cet univers avant de rejoindre naturellement l'entreprise familiale, qu'il dirige aujourd'hui aux côtés de sa sœur Sophie, en charge de la création. Son fils Adrien, lui, a suivi un chemin bien différent. Diplômé d'une école d'ingénieurs, il débute sa carrière dans l'assurance avant de rejoindre Longchamp en 2020, en plein premier confinement. Adrien prend d'abord la direction d'un plan de transformation, avant d'y ajouter la RSE, avec une mission claire, celle de faire progresser une maison familiale et centenaire vers de nouveaux standards, jusqu'à l'obtention cette année du label B Corp. Entre anecdotes de famille et vision stratégique, Jean et Adrien Cassegrain nous livrent un témoignage rare sur la transmission, la réinvention et l'avenir d'une maison qui a su se réinventer sans jamais perdre son âme.🔍 Ce que vous découvrirez dans cet épisode: 🧬 La transmission familiale sur quatre générations, du fondateur jusqu'à eux 👜 L'histoire du Pliage, devenu en 1993 la signature mondiale de la maison 🧭 Le parcours atypique d'Adrien, de l'assurance à la direction de la transformation et de la RSE 🌱 L'obtention du label B Corp cette année 🤝 Le lien père-fils entre Jean et Adrien au sein de la direction de la maison▶️ Abonnez-vous dès maintenant au Podcast du Luxe sur toutes les plateformes de streaming https://linktr.ee/loudana 📲 Suivez-nous aussi sur Instagram (podcastduluxe) et LinkedIn (Podcast du Luxe) ⭐ Pensez à noter le podcast, commenter et enregistrer l'épisode et le partager autour de vous, c'est le meilleur moyen de nous soutenir !🇬🇧EN🎧 In this first episode of Season 3 of Le Podcast du Luxe, I have the pleasure of welcoming Jean Cassegrain, President of Longchamp, and his son Adrien Cassegrain, Head of Transformation and CSR at the house. Jean Cassegrain today runs the house founded by his grandfather in 1948, originally a leather pipe brand long before it became one of the biggest names in French leather goods. He grew up in this world before naturally joining the family business, which he now leads alongside his sister Sophie, in charge of creative direction. His son Adrien took a very different path. An engineering graduate, he began his career in insurance before joining Longchamp in 2020, right in the middle of the first lockdown. Adrien first took charge of a transformation plan, before adding CSR to his role, with a clear mission, that of bringing a century-old family house up to new standards, culminating this year in earning the B Corp label. Between family anecdotes and strategic vision, Jean and Adrien Cassegrain share a rare account of transmission, reinvention, and the future of a house that has learned to reinvent itself without ever losing its soul.🔍 What you'll discover in this episode: 🧬 Family transmission across four generations, from the founder to today 👜 The story of Le Pliage, which became the house's global signature in 1993 🧭 Adrien's atypical path, from insurance to leading transformation and CSR 🌱 Earning the B Corp label this year 🤝 The father-son bond between Jean and Adrien at the head of the house▶️ Subscribe now to Le Podcast du Luxe on all streaming platforms https://linktr.ee/loudana 📲 Follow us on Instagram (podcastduluxe) and LinkedIn (Podcast du Luxe) ⭐ Don't forget to rate the podcast, comment, save the episode, and share it around you, it's the best way to support us!

🎬 In this episode, now out in English, I'm joined by François-Paul Journe, founder of F.P. Journe, one of the most respected names in independent watchmaking. Nothing about his path was conventional. A poor student, kicked out of nearly every school he attended, he learned his craft by restoring antique watches, developing an intimate understanding of mechanics long before he ever designed a piece of his own. His first watch took five years to complete, but it left him with a clear conviction: follow his own vision, without compromise. In 1999, he founded his own House with a radical approach: produce little, control everything, and never waver on precision. 🔥 A rare, unfiltered conversation on creation, independence, and what it really means to build a House while staying true to yourself. What you'll discover in this episode: 🔧 From repairing other people's watches to building his own: how years spent restoring antique pieces shaped his entire approach to mechanics. ⏳ The five years behind his first watch: and the conviction that time, not speed, is what makes a watch worth making. 🏛️ Founding F.P. Journe in 1999: producing little, controlling everything, with no compromise on precision. 🤝 Rarity and client relationships: his refusal of market-driven marketing, and how he manages desirability without chasing volume. ▶️ Listen to the full episode in English, out today on all platforms. 🔔 Subscribe so you don't miss what's next, and follow me on Instagram & LinkedIn: https://linktr.ee/loudana ⭐ Did you enjoy this episode?

🎬 In this episode, now out in English, I'm joined by Julien Tornare, CEO of Hublot, the Swiss watchmaking House known for turning disruption into an art form. Julien's path here wasn't obvious: a competitive water skier from Geneva, he started in sales at Raymond Weil before spending 17 years at Vacheron Constantin, running Europe, the US, and eventually all of Asia from Hong Kong. He went on to revive Zenith as CEO, and now leads Hublot, a House barely 45 years old that built a global following without a single century of heritage to lean on. 🔥 A candid conversation on what it takes to build a cult brand by refusing to play by the old rules of luxury. What you'll discover in this episode: ⚙️ A House built on audacity, not heritage: how Hublot, founded by Carlo Crocco in 1980, became the first to fuse gold and rubber, and turned that boldness into its entire identity. 🏆 Disruptive marketing, real watchmaking: behind the sports partnerships (Djokovic, Bolt, Mbappé) sits genuine in-house engineering, with movements like the Unico built entirely in Switzerland. 🤝 The Hublotistas: how Hublot turns clients into a community through experiences designed to build real, lasting relationships. 🏭 A new Manufacture in Nyon: a glimpse behind the scenes of what's coming next for the House. ▶️ Listen to the full episode in English, out today on all platforms. 🔔 Subscribe so you don't miss what's next, and follow me on Instagram & LinkedIn: https://linktr.ee/loudana ⭐ Did you enjoy this episode?

🎬 In this episode — now out in English — I'm joined by Jean-Baptiste Sassine, CEO of Messika, the French jewelry Maison founded alongside Valérie Messika.Jean-Baptiste's story is rooted in family expertise: his connection to André Messika, one of France's most respected diamond dealers, laid the foundation for what would become one of the most disruptive names in contemporary jewelry. From "3 or 4 people around a small table" in André Messika's office to a House now present in over 65 countries, he built Messika through disciplined, organic growth — without ever raising major outside funding. In this conversation, he looks back on the creation of the Move, originally called "La Cage," which grew into a signature sometimes more recognizable than the Messika name itself, and on what it takes to keep a legacy house feeling disruptive decades in.🔥 A candid, wide-ranging conversation that I hope teaches you as much as it taught me.What you'll discover in this episode:💎 André Messika's legacy: the story of one of France's leading diamond dealers, and the family expertise Messika was built on🔗 The birth of the Move: how "La Cage" became one of jewelry's most iconic signatures worldwide🌍 Global expansion without external funding: growing to 65+ countries through disciplined, organic growth⚡ Staying "Disruptive Diamond": the mindset behind Messika's constant reinvention▶️ Listen to the full episode in English, out today on all platforms.🔔 Subscribe so you don't miss what's next, and follow me on Instagram & LinkedIn: https://linktr.ee/loudana⭐ Did you enjoy this episode?

🎬 In this episode, now out in English, I'm joined by Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO of Bvlgari for over a decade and now head of LVMH's Watches division, overseeing Houses like TAG Heuer, Hublot, and Zenith alongside Bvlgari. Jean-Christophe's path into luxury is anything but conventional: from HEC Paris and the French Navy, to Procter & Gamble and The Boston Consulting Group, before landing at TAG Heuer and later Bvlgari. In this conversation, he opens up about rebuilding brands from the ground up, the discipline behind reviving heritage without falling into nostalgia, and what it really takes to lead an entire watchmaking division for one of the world's largest luxury groups. 🔥 A candid, wide-ranging conversation that I hope teaches you as much as it taught me. What you'll discover in this episode: 🏭 The history of the Manufacture de Neuchâtel: once famous for its railway clocks, now the beating heart of Bvlgari's watchmaking, and a place where his own family's history quietly echoes. 🏛️ Roman architecture and watch design: how the lines and volumes of ancient Rome shape every new Bvlgari timepiece, including the record-breaking Octo Finissimo. 👑 Women and the evolving luxury market: how the rise of women in professional roles has reshaped luxury spending, and why that shift has been a growth engine for Bvlgari. ⚙️ Heritage meets innovation: how a century-old house stays alive through cutting-edge technology and constant creative reinvention. ▶️ Listen to the full episode in English, out today on all platforms. 🔔 Subscribe so you don't miss what's next, and follow me on Instagram & LinkedIn: https://linktr.ee/loudana ⭐ Did you enjoy this episode?

Gemmyo is a rare diamond. The first jewelry house to launch entirely online, built on one clear promise: personalization. Pauline walks us through the fascinating story of a house that broke the codes of luxury and redefined an entire industry.

For her, the essence of luxury lies in quality and authenticity, not status. 💎 The importance of local, artisanal manufacturing: unlike many accessible luxury brands that outsource production, Gemmyo chose to keep manufacturing in France. 🛠️ Innovation as a driver of differentiation: at Gemmyo, innovation goes beyond design, into digitized workshops and tech-driven production. 📈 A hybrid, resilient business model: a strong online presence combined with a network of physical boutiques. 🔍 Understanding new consumer expectations: Pauline explains how Gemmyo meets today's demand for personalization and flawless service.
