This paper investigates how luxury values act as antecedents of Generation Y consumer’s adoption of online luxury purchasing technologies. Research findings based on 509 Generation Y luxury consumers in Turkey reveal that well-accepted luxury consumer values-namely functional, hedonic, social values -as well as product availability play a significant role on Generation Y consumers’ acceptance of online luxury purchasing technologies. Price consciousness value, which is an essential consumer value of online marketing, is not a significant antecedent in the model. Furthermore, the results of the study also demonstrate that perceived ease of use does not directly impact attitude toward purchasing luxury online. In that way, this research extends the technology acceptance model for online luxury purchasing. Based on the findings, key theoretical and practical implications are explored and discussed.
