At a time when luxury houses are looking to deepen the impact of the in-store experience, transmitting knowledge to retail teams has become a strategic priority. Samantha Larsen-Mellor, founder of ToldUntold, has developed a playful approach to training, built around product storytelling and its direct impact on sales.
For a long time, luxury has focused its value upstream, in creation, in image, in product. But value only exists if it is understood. And today, everything happens at the last mile. In-store. In the interaction. In the ability of a sales advisor to turn an object into a story, and a story into conviction.
We are entering a new phase where clients are more informed than ever, where products are easily comparable and where price alone no longer sustains desirability.
In this context, transmission becomes strategic.
What we observe in the field is clear, when the narrative is mastered, performance follows. But beyond performance, the real challenge is deeper. It’s about preserving what makes luxury truly valuable - heritage, intention, depth.
At ToldUntold, we are building one simple thing: ensuring that none of this value is lost between creation and client.
