limited vs exklusiv

exclusive

'exklusiv' and 'limited' are both often used in advertising and make a product seem special. 'exklusiv' can mean that something is accessible only to selected people or is especially luxurious. 'limited' mainly means that something is available only in a small quantity or for a short time. The words can be confused because both sound like something special. In practice: if it is about a limited number of items or short availability, 'limited' fits. If it is about luxury or access for a selected group, 'exklusiv' is more likely to fit.
