“…Furthermore, market share analysis from the preliminary study suggests that food establishments affiliated with luxury fashion food account for the majority of the luxury foodservice sector. This observation aligns with prior research on luxury foodservice, which identifies brands such as Gucci, Fendi, Saint Laurent, and Celine as key players (Talukdar, 2021). Therefore, these preliminary findings guide the main study towards a focus on the context of fashion brand luxury foodservice, examining the interplay between conspicuous consumption and ethical label purchasing.…”

“…Luxury foodservice establishments can set themselves apart by innovating their menu offerings to include ethically sourced, sustainable, and socially responsible food and beverage options. This strategy aligns with the growing consumer demand for ethical luxury products (Talukdar, 2021). Collaborations with local artisans, farmers, or sustainable food producers can be highlighted in foodservice branding to emphasize the ethical and sustainable sourcing of ingredients, resonating with conscientious consumers.…”

“…Applying the deontic justice theory, when solidary demands are not met due to mistrust of unethical companies or products, consumer cynicism emerges, hindering the translation of solidarity and ethics into ethical label purchasing behavior and contributing to a sense of distrust and skepticism (Chylinski and Chu, 2010). In the world of luxury foodservice, these dynamics and interplays are particularly relevant, showcasing the complex relationship between ethics, conspicuous consumption, and consumer perceptions of justice and trust within this niche market (Batat, 2022a, b;Yang and Mattila, 2016;Talukdar, 2021).…”

“…Such behaviors are intrinsically linked to the development of civic virtue, reflecting the ethical attributes of individual-level luxury food purchases (Myoung and Liou, 2022). This culture is expected to bring forth positive impacts on human civic virtue, overall well-being, and thriving within the luxury foodservice community, reflecting the profound interplay between luxury, ethics, and the satisfaction of basic human needs (Antonacopoulou, 2022; Talukdar, 2021). However, the intricate relationship between conspicuous consumption mode and ethical label purchasing, particularly in the context of measuring consumer civic virtue, remains relatively uncharted within the hospitality and luxury foodservice literature.…”

“…In recognition of these complex dynamics and their implications for luxury consumption, this research addresses these intricacies and aims to illuminate the nuanced interplay between luxury, ethics and consumer behavior in the realm of gastronomy (Batat, 2022a, b; Talukdar, 2021). Specifically, the research aims to explore the moderating role of ethical label purchasing on the relationship between conspicuous consumption and civic virtue and cynicism, along with the indirect effects via emotional solidarity.…”

PurposeThe primary objective of this study is to explore the nuanced interplay of conspicuous consumption, ethical label purchasing and the ensuing dynamics of civic virtue and cynicism within the luxury foodservice context.Design/methodology/approachGrounded in a theoretical understanding of solidarity within the context of product consumption, this research employs a two-pronged approach involving secondary data analysis and scenario-based experimental studies. The initial phase involves analyzing firm-level data from the Euromonitor database in 2019 and 2021. The main study employs a between-subjects experimental design with a cohort of 316 participants sourced from an online panel.FindingsThe results reveal a consistent pattern in the consumption of luxury foodservice and underscore a distinct upward trajectory in consumer demand for ethically labeled food. Notably, these findings underscore the moderating role of ethical label purchasing in the relationship between conspicuous consumption and consumers civic virtue. Additionally, ethical label purchasing moderates the impact of conspicuous consumption on consumer cynicism, both directly and indirectly through emotional solidarity related to both communal and equitable principles.Originality/valueThis study holds significance for both luxury food service researchers and market design practitioners. It provides valuable insights into how ethical labeling interacts with consumers conspicuous consumption, all facilitated by emotional solidarity.
