The interviews were directed by a trained mediator according to the interview guidelines and recorded. Interviewees were asked to talk freely and protocols were made for data analysis. Similarities were found regarding the salient attributes, brand awareness of luxury products as known in general; however, the perceived importance of each attribute of luxury products seemed to be changed as mcLuxury has continued. Moreover, the consumers' attitudes toward the luxury products consumption tended to become favorable than before, and the motives to buy luxury products were more value-oriented and self fulfillment rather than display one's wealth. The buying behaviors of luxury products vary among different age groups. However, most of them tended to purchase luxury products at duty-free shops and premium outlets while traveling abroad, or bought them on sale at domestic department stores.

The study aims to articulate a definition of luxury brands, to propose a framework for consumer luxury brand relationships and to provide empirical evidence of the proposed model. The study conducted two surveys in Portugal and the United States in 2009 and 2013 for selected luxury brands. The study employs factor analysis and structural equation modelling techniques to test the hypotheses. The study finds a link between luxury products and consumer's psychological association represents in a hierarchical order of: cognitive attributes at its base level, extrinsic attributes on a secondary level and intrinsic attributes at the advance level. The findings suggest a concept for luxury brands from three dimensions of: luxury product characteristics, consumer's psychological characteristics, and consumer's psychological association with the luxury product. The research was conducted in Portugal and the United States so that there is always a potential criticism concerning the ability to generalize research results to a broader international population. The findings provide a holistic perspective in the understanding of luxury brand constructs and a definition of luxury brands in the way why consumers involve symbolic consumption.

Recently, the luxury brand market has expanded from the 5060 market to the 2030 market segment due to diversification of distribution channels, an increase in income, and changes in consumption values. This change is attributed to the increase in sales of fashion accessory products, such as bags and wallets, thereby confirming the importance of the luxury brand fashion accessories market. However, there are few studies of the luxury brand fashion accessories market or brand loyalty for fashion accessories, which accounts for a large proportion of the overall luxury brand market. The purpose of this study was to develop and empirically test a theoretical framework that captures and compares the difference of impact of service quality, product attributes, and consumer satisfaction on luxury brand loyalty between the 20-30 market and the 5060 market of the fashion accessories market. Data was collected from 598 customers who purchased luxury brand fashion accessories by objective sampling. Structural equation modelling was used to test the hypotheses developed for the study. Results found evident effects of consumer satisfaction on luxury brand loyalty through the perception of service quality by consumers. Additionally, in the 2030 market, the fashion accessory attributes had little impact on consumer satisfaction and luxury brand loyalty, whereas in the 5060 market, it had a significant impact only on consumer satisfaction, but not on luxury brand loyalty. This is the first study to examine a structural equation model of luxury brand loyalty to compare the difference of the model between segmented markets, such as the 2030 market and the 5060 market of the luxury brand fashion accessories market. These results will contribute to a better understanding of the mechanism that underlie the operation of an effective luxury branding strategy for fashion accessories.

This study investigated how the travel motivation of Korean overseas tourists influenced shopping behavior. We first identified factors of the travel motivation and then categorized types and attributes of shopping products and shopping stores. We then examined the relationship between the travel motivation and shopping products and shopping channels. A questionnaire method was applied for this survey, while factor analysis and regression analysis were used to analyze data. The results are listed below. First, nature & leisure, rest, family, pleasure, hobby & fitness, and discovery were identified as 6 factors of travel motivation. Second, shopping products of overseas tourists were categorized into three types: fashion & luxury, daily goods, and memento. There were four attributes of products, namely, design, utility, economy, and prestige. Major types of shopping stores were souvenir shops, fashion channels and local markets; the shopping store attributes identified were location & salesperson, assortment & atmosphere, and display. Third, overseas tourists' motivation was shown to influence the selection of product types and attributes. Those who traveled for rest, family, pleasure, hobby & fitness orientation were inclined to purchase fashion & luxury goods, and daily goods; however, those who traveled for rest and hobby & fitness orientation also tended to buy memento. The effect of the travel motivation was shown to be different according to product attributes. Fourth, tourists' motivation was shown to affect store type selection and attributes. Those whose traveled for rest, family, pleasure, hobby & fitness preferred souvenir shops while those seeking nature & leisure and pleasure tended to visit fashion channels and local markets more often.

본 연구의 목적은 소비자의 명품의 구매의도에 영향을 미치는 명품성의 결정요인에 대하여 기업속성과 인지 구조적 관계를 규명하는 것이다. 명품성은 소비자에게 핵심가치를 제공하는 기능적 혜택, 경험적 혜택, 상징적 혜택, 배타적 혜택을 유인하며 소비자의 심리적 만족에 영향을 미치는 요인이다. 기존의 연구들은 소비자가 지각하는 명품성에 기업의 특성이 미치는 영향에 대하여 충분히 설명하지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 소비자가 지각하는 명품이 무엇이고, 명품성이 무엇인지를 마케팅관점에서 개념화하기 위하여 선행이론을 바탕으로 연구모형을 새롭게 제시하였다. 구체적으로는, 기업속성은 기업역량과 기업평판으로 구분하고, 명품성 요인은 우월성, 희소성, 차별성, 전통성으로 구분하여 기업속성과 명품성이 소비자의 구매의도에 미치는 영향 관계를 실증적으로 분석하고자, 총 282개의 표본을 대상으로 분석을 실시하였다. 조사대상제품은 명품 소비자를 대상으로 사전 조사된 B브랜드의 자동차로 하였다. 구조방정식 모형을 이용한 가설 검정결과, 기업속성과 명품성의 관계에서 기업속성 중 기업역량은 명품성의 차별성과 전통성에 유의한 영향을 미치며, 기업평판은 우월성과 희소성에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 명품성의 우월성, 희소성은 구매의도에 통계적으로 유의한 긍정적 영향을 미쳤으나, 명품성의 차별성과 전통성은 구매의도에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 제시된 명품과 명품성의 구조적 개념은 새로운 연구모형을 구축하는데 이론적 기반을 제공할 것이며, 명품성의 결정요인은 소비자의 심리적 내적동기 요인을 확인하는데 실무적으로 도움이 될 것이다.
