Luxury stores as home-like places: How domestic meanings are staged and mobilized in luxury retail

Abstract: While prior studies have examined the creative and sacred aspects of luxury brands, homelike aspects of retail remain under-investigated and under-theorized. Yet this issue is central because in-store domestic experiences can entail strong forms of customer engagement and loyalty. Drawing from observations in luxury stores in Paris, this study demonstrates that domestic meanings are a pervasive element of the luxury in-store narrative that complements the portfolio of meanings luxury brands already use to supp… Show more

Il s’agit d’occulter au maximum la dimension commerciale et ostentatoire de l’expérience, en camouflant les aspects marchands des boutiques, pour mettre en avant d’autres logiques, en particulier liées aux mondes domestiques et inspirés.…”
