I have just applied for the adoption of a Chanel bag! Consumer motivations to buy secondhand luxury goods
| Resumo: | The market for luxury goods is growing steadily all over the world and specially among younger generations, which are more demanding regarding the core values of this industry. A new way of acquiring this type of products – through secondhand consumption – is emerging and is rooted in several complementary yet different dimensions that are being assessed thoroughly yet not so exhaustively by some authors. The present study has gathered, reorganized and tested the influence of these dimensions in one’s attitude towards buying secondhand luxury fashion, revealing that a positive attitude may be rooted specially in a willingness to generate distance from the regular consumption system, a chance of saving money, and a means of developing a unique style through products that are no longer produced or sold. Ecological drivers and the fear of buying an inauthentic product were, on the other hand, found to be not as relevant as shown in previous studies. |
