I’ve a vague memory from economics classes that people who willing want to pay more for the same product is inelastic demand, but I can think of a few other non-economics terms for it.....

Given LVMH have destroyed the quality of the product of many of the brands they’ve acquired (Thomas Pink being a prime example but far from the only one), I suspect you’ll get your wish of “exclusivity” as those seeking quality will look elsewhere.
