Missoni Home recently introduced its Missoni Torta Four-Wick Candle that consumers can purchase for the small price of $520. The designer candle, made from ordinary candle wax, features four wicks as opposed to one, and embodies the brand's classic wavy, striped design. The colors of the Missoni Torta four-Wick Candles are certainly appealing and the candle would certainly brighten up a room with dull decor.
Despite the potentially scary price of the Missoni Torta Four-Wick Candle, the fact that it will eventually melt down to nothing is somewhat of a concern for me if I'm going to invest $520. Needless to say, folks with disposable incomes and high-end taste will be burning to have this item in their homes.
Implications - Businesses that cater to the needs of the consumers with disposable incomes will see large returns. Such consumers are constantly seeking unique ways to showcase their lavish lifestyle and esteemed status within society, and will likely flock to unnecessarily luxurious items.
