In this month’s TrendWatching newsletter, there is much reported about the trend of ‘Mass Class’. They say that hundreds of millions of consumers now all sip Starbucks lattes, blabber away on Nokia phones and dress up in Zara and H&M.

TrendWatching has described three must-have consumption trophies that will afford emerging Mass Class consumers access to ‘Middle Class Walhalla’: a comfortable home, several holidays and a decent motor.
