English term or phrase: hard luxuy goods
We have made a few strategic natural extensions into related product categories such as bags, small leather goods, fragrance and eyewear, but we feel no need to be a full lifestyle brand, producing ready to wear or hard luxury goods

produits de luxe durables
Explanation:
soft : vêtements, sacs
hard : bijoux, montres

"Among products, accessories are expected to be the strongest driver of the market’s performance, followed by jewelry, watches and other “hard” luxury goods; apparel and beauty products will see more modest growth. Men’s bags and menswear are trending and have the greatest momentum."

bijoux et montres de luxe


Explanation:
Selon le document référencé ci-dessous,
"‘Hard luxury’ describes products such as watches, jewellery and pens,
although pens no longer contribute much to sales."
La traduction ci-dessus est approximative (n'englobe pas les stylos) mais c'est malgré tout l'essentiel des produits concernés par cette appellation.

agree  Jocelyne Cuenin: ou bijouterie-joaillerie-horlogerie de luxe : "La bijouterie-joaillerie n’est plus l’affaire des seuls spécialistes. La plupart des grandes maisons lifestyle ont pénétré la bijouterie-joaillerie dans le cadre de leur politique de brand stretching."
