“…According to Kim et al [13], luxury product manufacturers can improve their identity and quality by pursuing sustainable development according to consumers' awareness of social and environmental issues. Numerous authors [11,14,15] have also highlighted the growth of ethical consumption trends and a growing need for transparency of luxury brands: in fact, as underlined by De Pelsmacker et al in 2005 [16], ethical consumption can help transform consumers' sustainable and conscious attitudes into specific buying behavior.…”

“…The issue has been discussed and analyzed in the literature, with particular attention paid to eco-luxury consumer behavior [23]. Being eco-sustainably conscious does not necessarily mean being unfashionable or untrendy [23]; nevertheless, as underlined by De Angelis et al [15], it is necessary to investigate "how aesthetics affect consumers' perceptions and behavioral intention with regard to new and sustainable products introduced by design-oriented companies (e.g., in luxury fashion)". Looking at the results of De Angelis et al's research, "the design of New Green Luxury Products can influence consumers' inclination to embrace them, and .…”

Is there a new material for use in jewelry, matching gold and precious stones, capable of maintaining the same perception of "preciousness" but that is also more sustainable, ethical, and inexpensive? This article deals with a case study within the European EcoDesign Network research project, aimed at investigating how sustainable design can help prestigious companies pinpoint new materials for the creation of jewelry, focusing on new and environmentally friendly opportunities while preserving their market position and target audience. Qualitative and quantitative analyses were performed. Adopting the exploring design path, a jewelry background analysis pointed out both stereotypes and possible innovations in the jewelry field: an analysis was carried out on the perception of jewels by a panel guided by a cognitive ergonomics specialist, also using the eye-tracking machine to examine participants' reactions to the jewelry involved in the study, and to establish paradigms of sustainability, preciousness, and innovation. Several meta-project proposals regarding innovations in materials and finishing were hypothesized and tested, following the main guidelines and principles of ecodesign. Lastly, a prototyping phase and some mechanical tests were implemented to verify the hypotheses of innovation. The results allowed the creation of a first set of sustainable jewelry, currently on the market.

“…They argued that life-cycle assessments (LCAs) could enhance sustainability in fashion by describing the case of a prestigious Italian luxury fashion brand. De Angelis et al [31] evaluated the impact of design on luxury fashion green products. They conducted three experiments and identified that the new green luxury product design is more similar to the luxury company's previous models instead of the similar models produced by green companies.…”

Abstract:With the increasing awareness of sustainability, eco-design has been an important trend in the fashion industry. Many fashion brands such as Nike, Adidas, and The North Face have developed sustainable fashion by incorporating eco-design elements. Eco-design is an important part of sustainable supply chains. In this paper, we conducted a product line analysis of eco-designed products from a famous outdoor sportswear brand, Patagonia. We collected Patagonia's 2017 Spring Season product line data and analyzed the data through descriptive analysis, factor analysis and correlation analysis. We found that Patagonia mainly uses organic, recycled, and traceable materials in their eco-product line development. We identified that the usage of eco-materials may significantly affect the number of color choices and product weight as well as gender difference, pattern design, product fit and online reviewers' opinions at Patagonia. We argued that Patagonia should focus on functionality more than aesthetics in eco-design. We discussed how sustainable fashion firms should manage eco-design in the supply chain.

Managing sustainability in luxury industry to pursue circular economy strategies

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Sustainable luxury research has received growing attention in the most recent years as it requires firms and supply chains to design circular business models and strategies to tackle environmental, financial, and social issues. However, previous research still falls short to deepen how luxury firms design and manage sustainable supply chain practices according to the circular principles. This paper adopts bibliometric and network analysis to evaluate a sample of 747 papers published over the last 35 years. The descriptive statistics and science mapping approaches utilizing cocitation analysis were performed with VOSviewer software to contribute to the ongoing development of sustainability in luxury research with the aim to develop a systemic framework for circular supply chain and offer a comprehensive overview on the topic. The main findings of this paper will help academicians and practitioners to improve the body of knowledge on the topic and provide an overview of promising future research avenues.
