A high-priced purse is no longer enough: Generation Z is changing the meaning of luxury

The article discusses how Generation Z is redefining luxury, moving away from traditional symbols like designer handbags and expensive items toward experiences, time, health, and personal freedom. While young people still desire luxury, they associate it more with unique experiences such as travel, wellness, and quality time rather than material possessions. According to a report by VML called 'The Future 100,' 70% of Gen Z members believe luxury brands no longer define social status as they once did, but 65% still want a life that feels luxurious. This shift reflects a growing emphasis on personal experiences, well-being, and control over one’s time, which are now seen as new markers of privilege.
