Abstract

The study focused on a specific group of luxury consumers in China, who have reduced or stopped luxury consumption in recent years. Results from content analysis on social media posts and in-depth interviews indicated that those buck-the-trend consumers adopt “de-possession” of luxury brands to build a new identity that distinguishes them from others, which is attributed to the luxury democratisation and the minimalist cultural turn in China.
