Basic Definition of Luxury

What means Luxury? – Luxury is a relative Term that could refer to almost
Anything or Nothing depending on whom you ask.
“The only luxury good I own is my car. It’s a Volkswagen Polo. This is also
“Luxury means to me something not everyone can afford.” (Constantin)
to have the freedom
to set off against the
mass – in every way –
to maintain a lifestyle
that fits me and that is
not geared to the
mainstream and to
social norms. The real
luxury for me is to
have time and fun
with my friends.”
(Jasper)

“Luxury stands for exclusivity, excellent quality, rarity, differentiation. I am fascinated by
luxury watches, since they are a symbol for the love for the detail. Preferably I also would like
to say: "I don’t look for the time, I look for my watch." Typical for a woman, I have already
an eye on the shoes of Manolo Blahnik. There are women in New York who take the risk of a
surgery in order to fit into these shoes. I wouldn't go that far, because I already have perfect
feet.” (Chun-Lan)

The Types of Relativity: The Relativity of Luxury splits into a Regional, Temporal,
Economic, Cultural and Situational Relativity.

Situational Regional
Relativity Relativity

Hierarchic
Cultural Relativity Temporal

Economic
Relativity





These Types of Relativity can be used to determine a General Perspective from which
Luxury should be defined within the Field of Luxury Brand Management.

perspective: perspective:
normal conditions global

Situational Regional

Hierarchic
Cultural Relativity Temporal
perspective:
Relativity Relativity perspective:
upper class present time

Economic
Relativity

perspective:
representative for the entire society in developed regions




Accordingly, the Basic Definition of Luxury may be complemented as follows:

Luxury is anything that is desirable and which exceeds necessity and
ordinariness. As a general rule, this is defined from a global perspective, for the
present and for normal conditions. While the exclusivity of resources is
evaluated by the entire society, the desirability of resources and the appearance
of luxury are determined by the upper class.





Based on the Extended Basic Definition, there are many Resources that can
be differentiated from Luxury:

Example of Non-Luxury Type of Relativity Explanation
A luxury in Jakarta, but not from the
Clean air Regional relativity
perspective of most people

A luxury in the 1950’s, but not from
Color TV Temporal relativity
today’s perspective

A luxury for a student, but not from
VW Polo Economic relativity
a gross-societal perspective

A luxury in the hip-hop scene, but
Gold teeth grill Cultural relativity not from the perspective of the
upper class

Might be a luxury after a strict diet,
McDonald’s Hamburger Situational relativity
but not under normal circumstances

Accordingly, the extended basic definition limits the scope of luxury from almost anything to a more
reasonable level and therefore already helps to dissolve a large part of the controversies about the
definition of luxury.



Agenda

of Luxury Products




Major Understandings of Luxury by Area of Research

“Luxuries” correspond to the Philosophical-Sociological Understanding and
the broadest Scope of Luxury.

Everything we can think
of – “Luxuries comprise all
resources which are desirable
and exceed what is necessary
and ordinary.”

Luxuries are not necessarily marketable, which means that we can’t necessarily buy/sell them.




Microeconomic Understanding: In Microeconomics the Term “Luxury Goods”
is established and mainly refers to entire Product Categories.

Luxury goods are distinguished from necessary or ordinary goods by consequence-related measures; thus
the luxuriousness of any good is not determined by its characteristics, but by peoples’ reaction (changes in
demand) to exogenous stimuli:

1 = High price elasticity (> =1)
The demand of (dispensable) luxury goods
decreases relatively strongly when prices are rising.
= High income elasticity (> 1)
2
The demand of (dispensable) luxury goods (also superior goods)
increases relatively stronger than the income.

Luxury goods correspond to the micro-economic understanding and the middle scope of
luxury, comprising all goods which exceed what is necessary and ordinary, and are suitable
for exchange on the market.




The Managerial Understanding of Luxury usually refers only to the best
Products of a Category: “Luxury Products”.
Luxury level

Examples of Non-Luxury Products Criteria No Luxury Products, but. . .
Philosophical-sociological
Musical talent, time and true love Luxury resources

understanding

The broad definitions of luxury products and brands can be summarized as follows:
Luxury products correspond to the managerial understanding and the smallest scope of
luxury, comprising all products which exceed what is necessary and ordinary compared to
the other products of their category.

Luxury brands are associated with products which exceed what is necessary and ordinary
compared to the other products of their category.




Louis Vuitton, Rolls-Royce …Ariel Motor?! …Are Ariel Race Cars Luxury Products?
Ariel offers Functional Luxury :

• The Ariel is a race
car for the streets;
the driving
experience may be
“utterly, utterly
addictive“.
• The Ariel Atom V8
can cost £150,000.
However, it’s not a
(classical) luxury
product – because
it’s made for
maximum
functioning.
• Same would be
true for superior
alpine climbing
equipment.




The Understanding of Luxury by Area of Research: Luxury products constitute a
Subset of Luxury Goods, which, in turn, form a Subset of Luxuries.

Philosophic-sociological Understanding: Luxuries
Resources that are desirable and more than necessary and ordinary,
e.g. musical talent, time, and true love
Microeconomic Understanding: Luxury Goods
Goods (product categories) that are more than necessary and ordinary
and suitable for the exchange on the market,
e.g. air conditioning systems and golf equipment

Managerial Understanding: Luxury Products
Products that are more than necessary and ordinary compared
to the other products of their category,
e.g. Louis Vuitton bags and Rolls-Royce automobiles




Agenda

of Luxury Products




Limiting the Scope of Luxury Products


Despite its small scope in comparison to luxuries, the definition of luxury products still
covers a wide variety of different products. Therefore, and according to the basic idea of
definition by reduction sentences, the scope of luxury products is further limited by
differentiating the major luxury market segments.

Luxury Products Luxury Services Luxury Real Estate
Private Luxury Products Public Luxury Products
Branded Luxury Products Unbranded Luxury Products
B2C Luxury Products B2B Luxury Products
Founder-independent Luxury Products Founder-dependent Luxury Products
Uni-regional Luxury Products Multi-regional Luxury Products
Contemporary Luxury Products Luxury Antiquities




Luxury Products, Services and Real Estate

Luxury Products Luxury Services Luxury Real Estate

No…
• The managerial luxury understanding
usually refers to movable assets
(products in the classical sense), as the
luxury industry was and is characterized
by craftsmanship and engineering (Belz
1994, p. 648; Berthon et al. 2009, p. 50).

• Beyond that, especially luxury real estate
forms a distinct luxury segment. “World’s most
Marketing knowledge about products expensive
covers a basis for other luxury segments, apartments at
but still needs to be adapted to their One Hyde Park
specific characteristics. set to make £1
billion profit.”




Private vs. Public Luxury Products

Private Luxury Products Public Luxury Products

No…

• Instead of public luxuries such as
altar pieces or national monuments,
the term luxury products usually
refers to private luxury, which is
owned by a person or a private
organization (Sombart 1922, p. 86;
see also McKinsey 1990, p. 13).





Branded vs. Unbranded Luxury Products

Branded Luxury Products Unbranded Luxury Products

No…

• Unbranded luxury products are usually made
on commission by craftsmen.

• Because of the high relevance of brands in
the luxury segment, only branded luxury
products are considered (see Kisabaka 2001,
p. 104; Vigneron and Johnson 2004, p. 486).





Private vs. Public Luxury Products

B2C Luxury Products B2B Luxury Products

No…
“Peter Bock AG has been
• B2C luxury products, also referred to as crafting the finest pen nibs
personal luxury products, are marketed since 1939.”
to end consumers and can be used by a
person to enhance his or her personal life
(Sombart 1922, p. 86; Reith and Meyer
2003, p. 10; Valtin 2004, p. 186).

• In contrast to that, there is a distinct B2B
luxury segment, which includes luxury-
specialized suppliers to luxury brands.
One such supplier is Peter Bock, a
manufacturer of nibs for luxury fountain
pens.





Founder-independent vs. Founder-dependent Luxury Products

Founder-independent Luxury Products Founder-dependent Luxury Products

No… Founder-dependent luxury
by Alexander Vethers

• Only founder-independent luxury products are
considered, which means that the existence of brands and
the manufacturing of products should not depend on the
life of their creators. The manufacturers of luxury
products should possess a distinct brand personality and
at least the capacity for infinite business operation.
• Although an artist could become a brand, these
requirements are not fulfilled as he or she may only create
founder-dependent products. Compared to other
products, the luxury art market follows very specific rules
and therefore forms a distinct luxury segment.
• The same is true for other industry segments such as
(star) architect offices and the relatively complex and fast-
changing market of (fashion) designer products.

Founder-dependent Luxury Products





Uni-regional vs. Multi-regional Luxury Products

Multi-regional Luxury Products Uni-regional Luxury Products

No…
• Uni-regional luxury products are only
available in specic regions.

• For instance, shopping in the KaDeWe is
only possible in Berlin and spending the
night in Le Meurice is only possible in
Paris.

• However, many uni-regional luxury
brands have the potential to become
global. For instance, the luxury group
Hilton developed the New York-based
Waldorf Astoria into a global luxury hotel
chain.





Contemporary Luxury Products vs. Luxury Antiquities

Contemporary Luxury Products Luxury Antiquities

No…

• With reference to temporal relativity,
only new products are considered.
• Luxury antiquities (including antique
cars) form a distinct luxury segment.





Complementing the Broad Definition of Luxury Products

Based on these limitations, the broad definition of luxury products can be complemented as follows:

Luxury products correspond to the managerial understanding and the
smallest scope of luxury not comprising services or real estate, but
products which exceed what is necessary and ordinary compared to the
other products of their category. These products are branded,
founder-independent, multi-regional, contemporary and possessed or
used by a person to enhance his or her personal life.

Eccentric Selling Proposition (ESP): Case Study Silk Production

• “Earlier the main exports of silk cloth, at first restricted to the nobility, had been from Bologna, Lucca and other Italian towns.
They had developed the mechanical reeling of silk using water power, apparently developing a Chinese model, while the
French industry at Lyon operated at a less sophisticated level.
• But the French court started to invite silk manufacturers from Lyon every six months to discuss future designs. By the time
that their patterns had been produced and the Italian manufacturers had set up their looms to copy them, the French court
was about to place its next order for a new pattern. So the Italian manufacturers were never able to catch up, leading to the
collapse of the weaving industry, and eventually of the production of yarn, in Bologna and elsewhere.
• It was not the appearance of change, of new fashion, that was remarkable but the way that change was regularly established
and the effects this had on industrialized production which were remarkable. It rivalled, and set the pattern for, today’s
annual fashion shows in Paris, Milan, New York, London and other capitals, shows that are marketplaces for the costumes of
the rich but which also set the terms for production for the masses, who with socio-economic developments have now been
drawn in to the frequent dictates of fashion” …. “After that time, fashion and ‘taste’ took over the role of distinguishing the
elite, with the whole process becoming more complex when this occurred.”

Agenda

of Luxury Products





The Definition of Luxury Products

• The operationalization relies on a literature analysis and an empirical study (as outlined in the paper). The
results suggest that consumers perceive that luxury products have six major characteristics including price,
quality, aesthetics, rarity, extraordinariness and symbolism (as explained above). In that way, the
operationalization helps to decide for most products if they are part of what is meant by the term "luxury
product" (see also Kromrey 2009, p. 110).
• The definition of luxury products can be summarized as follows:

Luxury products have more than necessary and ordinary characteristics
compared to other products of their category, which include their relatively high
level of price, quality, aesthetics, rarity, extraordinariness, and symbolic
meaning.





The Definition of Luxury Brands

• Luxury brands are highly associated with their core products.
• This is reflected by the existing definitions of luxury brands, which define luxury brands by specific
associations about product characteristics (e.g. Meffert and Lasslop 2003, p. 6; Büttner et al. 2006, p. 12;
Valtin 2004, p. 30).
• The essential characteristics of luxury products therefore correspond largely with those of luxury brands
and lead to the following definition:

Luxury brands are regarded as images in the minds of consumers that comprise
associations about a high level of price, quality, aesthetics, rarity and specialty.

Luxury vs. Premium Products and Brands – Mercedes vs. Lexus

There is also an essential difference between these types of brands: while premium
brands focus especially on functional characteristics, luxury brands put much more effort
into creating symbolic meaning. For instance, Lexus entered the US market with the
objective of growing by taking customers away from Mercedes, which was identified as its
major competitor. Therefore, they took the Mercedes E Class as the model to overtake
and developed a car with a similar design and even superior technical features that was
only sold for about half of the price. Lexus generated high growth rates in the U.S.
However, they still focused very much on functionality and even emphasized their car`s
value-for-money, and also had no vision or story to tell – which clearly positions Lexus as a
non-luxury brand (Kapferer and Bastien 2009b, p. 316).
