    • Self-concept plays a role in luxury consumption as a means to reinforce our image, values, and perception of ourselves. This includes aspects like self-image, self-esteem, and the ideal self we strive to be.
    • Conspicuous consumption, also known as the Veblen effect, involves using luxury goods as a way to signal status, wealth, or power.

    • Unique and Exclusive Pleasure: Consumers seeking scarcity, uniqueness, and the pleasure of being part of an exclusive minority.

    • 3 Capitals: Cultural capital refers to knowledge, skills, and tastes derived from education, experience, and social background.
    • Habitus: Habitus is a subconscious way of perceiving and categorizing the world based on upbringing and experiences, shaping our tastes and actions.
    • Luxury Consumption and Habitus: Membership in organizations like the Automobile Club in Paris can influence an individual's three capitals, providing new knowledge, connections, and opportunities.
