Luxury fashion has always sold a contradiction, and it has always done so brilliantly. The contradiction goes something like this: the thing you are buying is exceptional, rare, and beyond the reach of most people — and yet we are selling it to you. The entire architecture of desire that luxury houses have spent generations constructing rests on a carefully managed tension between accessibility and exclusivity. You can have it, but not everyone can. That asymmetry is the product, as much as the handbag or the coat itself.
Now add the circular economy to this equation and watch the tension multiply. Sustainability, in its most honest form, is a democratizing concept. It says that goods should last longer, be accessible to more people across more ownership cycles, circulate through communities rather than accumulate in closets, and ultimately reduce the total environmental footprint of fashion as an industry. Resale makes a three-thousand-dollar jacket available for three hundred dollars to someone who would otherwise never own one. Rental makes a fifteen-thousand-dollar couture gown wearable by someone who earns a teacher’s salary. These are, in principle, wonderful outcomes for sustainability.
But they are potentially devastating outcomes for exclusivity. And exclusivity is not a vanity concern for luxury brands — it is the foundation of their pricing power, their brand equity, and ultimately their profitability. So the question that the luxury industry is grappling with right now, often very quietly and behind very polished brand messaging, is this: can you genuinely embrace circularity without sawing off the branch you are sitting on? Can you build a credible, profitable, and environmentally meaningful circular economy model without making your products so accessible that the mystique which justifies their price evaporates in the process?
This is one of the most fascinating strategic tensions in contemporary business, and it deserves an honest, thorough examination.
Why Luxury Fashion Cannot Afford to Ignore the Circular Economy
Let us be clear about why luxury houses are engaging with circular economy models at all, because it is not purely altruistic and understanding the motivations reveals a lot about what the strategy is and is not.
The first driver is regulatory pressure. The European Union’s Green Deal and its associated textile and fashion sustainability regulations are creating mandatory disclosure requirements, extended producer responsibility obligations, and minimum sustainability standards that apply to all fashion brands operating in European markets — including the most prestigious luxury houses. The days when a brand could publish a beautiful sustainability report filled with aspirational language and suffer no consequences for the gap between its words and its supply chain practices are ending. Regulation is turning voluntary commitments into legal obligations, and luxury brands with complex global supply chains are among those with the most exposure.
The second driver is consumer evolution, particularly among the demographic that luxury houses must cultivate as their next generation of customers. Younger affluent consumers — millennials and Generation Z with high earning potential — are significantly more sustainability-conscious than previous generations of luxury buyers. Research consistently shows that this cohort cares about brand environmental credentials, that they are active participants in the resale economy themselves, and that they are skeptical of sustainability claims that cannot be substantiated. For luxury houses dependent on renewing their customer base continuously, alienating sustainability-conscious young affluent consumers is an existential risk.
The third driver is financial. The global luxury resale market is now worth tens of billions of dollars annually and is growing faster than the primary luxury market. Brands that do not participate in this market are effectively watching billions of dollars in value generated by their products flow to third-party platforms, independent consignment stores, and individual resellers — none of whom pay anything to the original brand. There is a straightforward commercial logic to capturing some of this value rather than ceding it entirely to others.
How Luxury Houses Are Currently Approaching Resale
The luxury industry’s engagement with resale has developed along several distinct strategic lines, and it is worth examining each of them because they represent different theories of how to participate in circularity without damaging brand equity.
The most cautious approach is the certified pre-owned program, where a brand operates or partners with a platform to verify, authenticate, and resell its own products directly. Rolex pioneered a version of this model in watchmaking with its Certified Pre-Owned program, launched through authorized dealers. The model is brilliant in its strategic logic: by controlling the authentication and certification of pre-owned products under its own brand umbrella, Rolex captures value from the secondary market, maintains quality control over what is sold as a genuine Rolex, combats counterfeiting, and deepens its relationship with existing customers who might want to trade in and upgrade. The brand maintains complete control over the resale narrative.
Several luxury fashion houses have launched or partnered in similar directions. Stella McCartney’s partnership with The RealReal was an early and heavily publicized example. Burberry, Gucci, and others have experimented with trade-in and resale programs. LVMH, the world’s largest luxury conglomerate, has been notably more cautious — its brands have largely avoided direct resale engagement while carefully monitoring the market.
The rental model has attracted even more cautious engagement from luxury fashion houses, and for understandable reasons that we will explore in detail. A small number of brands have experimented with rental in specific contexts — archival pieces, special event rentals, collaboration with high-end rental platforms — but full-scale rental programs remain rare among the top tier of luxury fashion.
The Brand Equity Question: What Exactly Are We Protecting?
To understand the stakes of the exclusivity-circularity tension, we need to be specific about what luxury brand equity actually consists of and which elements are threatened by different circular economy models. Brand equity is not a monolithic thing. It is a complex bundle of associations, perceptions, and emotional relationships that different groups of stakeholders hold about a brand.
For a luxury house like Chanel, Hermès, or Louis Vuitton, brand equity includes the perception of exceptional craftsmanship and quality — the idea that these goods are made with materials and skill that justify their extraordinary prices. It includes the perception of heritage and authenticity — the story of the atelier, the founding designer, the cultural history that the brand embodies.
It includes the perception of exclusivity — the sense that owning these goods marks you as part of a select group defined by taste, wealth, or both. And it includes the perception of timelessness — the idea that these are not fashion items in the sense of things that go out of style, but cultural objects that retain value and meaning across decades.
Of these elements, resale and rental threaten exclusivity most directly, but they actually reinforce several of the others. A well-maintained Chanel jacket that is resold twenty years after its original purchase and continues to look beautiful is evidence of the brand’s quality and craftsmanship claims. The existence of a robust secondary market for Hermès Birkins — with prices on the secondary market routinely exceeding retail — is extraordinary evidence of the brand’s value retention and desirability. The secondary market, in this framing, is not the enemy of luxury brand equity. It is, in certain forms, its most powerful validator.
The risk is not resale in principle. The risk is resale in a form that breaks down the price architecture that separates luxury from mass market, or that makes the primary product feel less special by association with accessibility.
The Hermès Paradox: When Scarcity Is So Extreme That Resale Becomes Advertising
Hermès represents the most extreme and most instructive case study in how scarcity and resale can coexist — and indeed how they can amplify each other in ways that strengthen rather than weaken brand power. The Birkin bag has, for decades, been one of the most coveted objects in the global luxury market. Its retail price ranges from roughly ten thousand to hundreds of thousands of dollars depending on materials and size. But here is the thing that makes Hermès uniquely fascinating: the secondary market price for Birkins frequently exceeds the retail price. Bags sell at auction for multiples of their original retail cost. The secondary market does not dilute the brand’s desirability. It supercharges it.
Why does this work for Hermès when it might not work for other brands? The answer is in the supply mechanics. Hermès deliberately restricts primary market supply to an extraordinary degree, making the retail Birkin genuinely inaccessible to most buyers regardless of willingness to pay. The brand famously requires customers to build purchasing histories across other product categories before being offered the opportunity to purchase a Birkin. This means the secondary market is not an alternative to a primary market that most buyers could access anyway — it is the only market through which most buyers can access the product at all.
In this architecture, the secondary market is not a threat to scarcity. It is a consequence of scarcity. And the premium prices commanded on the secondary market function as continuous, third-party-validated advertising for the primary brand’s desirability. The lesson is not that every luxury brand should replicate Hermès’s specific supply restriction strategy — few could — but that the relationship between primary and secondary markets is not inherently zero-sum. Under the right conditions, a secondary market can serve brand equity rather than undermine it.
The Rental Model: A Far More Complicated Proposition
If resale presents manageable challenges for luxury brand equity, rental presents significantly more complex ones — and understanding why requires thinking about what the ownership experience of a luxury good actually means to the buyer. Luxury fashion has always been about more than function. A woman who buys a Chanel suit is not buying warmth and coverage. She is buying a relationship with an object — a relationship that includes possession, identity expression, care, and often a multi-generational narrative. The bag is passed to a daughter. The coat is a cherished item that carries memories. The jewelry marks a life event.
Rental fundamentally disrupts this ownership relationship. A garment that has been worn by hundreds of different people, that will be collected and cleaned and sent to the next customer, that you do not possess and will return, cannot carry the same narrative weight as something you own. It cannot be the coat you wore on your first trip to Paris. It is the coat you rented for an event and returned on Monday.
This does not mean rental has no role in luxury fashion, but it does mean that the role is highly specific and circumscribed. Rental works for luxury fashion in contexts where ownership is not the point — where the goal is access to a specific aesthetic for a specific occasion, not the building of a lasting relationship with an object.
Wedding and special event occasions are the clearest case. A bride who wants to wear a couture gown for one day, or a guest who wants to appear in designer pieces at a glamorous event, does not need to own the garment. Rental serves this need perfectly and without threatening the brand’s core ownership narrative because the people renting are explicitly not positioned as the brand’s primary customers.
What “Credible” Circularity Actually Requires From Luxury Houses
The word credible in the proposition we are examining deserves particular attention, because there is a significant difference between luxury houses appearing to embrace circularity and actually doing so in ways that create measurable environmental benefit. The sustainability landscape is littered with examples of expensive greenwashing — elaborately communicated commitments to circularity that, on examination, represent tiny fractions of a brand’s actual environmental footprint and are structured primarily as marketing tools rather than genuine systemic changes.
For a luxury house to build a credible circular economy model, several conditions need to be met that go well beyond launching a resale platform or publishing an environmental commitment. The first is supply chain transparency — genuine visibility into and accountability for the environmental and social practices across the entire production chain, not just the atelier-level craftsmanship that brands like to spotlight. The second is product design for longevity — designing goods that are genuinely made to last for decades and to be repaired rather than replaced, which the best luxury houses have always done but which the broader luxury-adjacent market often does not achieve.
The third, and most commercially uncomfortable, is volume restraint. A luxury house that genuinely embraces circular principles should be producing less, not more — designing fewer pieces, made with greater care and more durable materials, intended for decades of use and multiple ownership cycles. This is fundamentally in tension with the revenue growth imperatives that publicly traded luxury conglomerates face. LVMH, Kering, and Richemont operate under constant shareholder pressure to grow revenue, and growing revenue means selling more, not less.
A credible circular economy model for luxury fashion ultimately requires confronting this growth imperative honestly, which very few luxury brands have been willing to do publicly.
The Financial Architecture of Luxury Resale Programs
Let us look at the economics of luxury resale programs with some precision, because the financial logic is complex and determines both whether these programs can be profitable and whether they create the right incentives for genuine circularity.
A luxury brand that operates a certified pre-owned program can capture revenue in several ways. It can charge authentication and certification fees for items submitted through trade-in or consignment channels. It can take a percentage of the resale price as a platform fee for items sold through its own channels. It can offer store credit for trade-ins, which captures the customer relationship and drives new primary market purchases. And it can use the pre-owned program as a customer acquisition and reactivation tool, bringing in buyers who might graduate to primary market purchasing over time.
For major brands with large catalogs of highly recognized pieces — Louis Vuitton monogram bags, Chanel quilted handbags, Gucci horsebit loafers — the authentication value proposition is strong because counterfeiting is pervasive in these categories and buyers are willing to pay a premium for brand-certified authenticity. This creates a genuine financial model that is separate from the environmental narrative.
The complication is that operating a premium resale infrastructure is expensive. Authentication requires trained experts. Quality control requires physical inspection facilities. Customer service for used goods requires different processes than for new product. The logistics of receiving, inspecting, listing, storing, and shipping used goods at luxury quality standards are complex and costly. The unit economics only work at scale, and achieving scale requires a significant volume of high-quality used goods flowing through the program — which in turn requires that a significant volume of primary market customers engage with the program rather than selling independently or through third-party platforms.
Third-Party Platforms and the Brand Control Dilemma
One of the most strategically sensitive decisions luxury houses face in the circular economy space is whether to build their own resale infrastructure or to partner with — or simply tolerate — third-party platforms. The existing ecosystem of luxury resale platforms — The RealReal, Vestiaire Collective, Fashionphile, 1stDibs — has already built the market infrastructure, the customer relationships, the authentication expertise, and the scale economics that most individual brands would struggle to match.
Partnering with these platforms gives luxury brands access to existing infrastructure and audiences but involves ceding control over the resale experience, the pricing narrative, and the customer relationship. A Gucci bag sold on Vestiaire Collective is presented within Vestiaire’s brand environment, not Gucci’s. The customer’s loyalty is to the platform rather than the brand. The data about who is buying and selling pre-owned Gucci does not flow to Gucci’s CRM system.
Building proprietary resale infrastructure gives luxury brands control but requires substantial investment, long development timelines, and the challenge of building customer awareness and transaction volume without the network effects that established platforms already have.
Some brands have attempted hybrid approaches — partnering with platforms for customer acquisition while building proprietary infrastructure for the highest-value transactions and closest customer relationships. This is probably the right long-term direction but requires sophisticated execution and patient investment.
The Authentication Challenge: Trust in the Secondary Market
Authentication is the oxygen that luxury resale breathes. Without reliable, accessible authentication, the secondary luxury market is paralyzed by the counterfeiting problem — the proliferation of extremely high-quality fakes that are indistinguishable to most buyers without expert examination. The authentication challenge is enormous and growing as counterfeit sophistication increases.
This is actually one of the most compelling arguments for luxury brands to engage directly with the resale market rather than leaving it entirely to third parties. A brand-certified pre-owned program is the most credible authentication mechanism possible, because the brand itself is attesting to the genuineness of the product. No third-party authenticator, however skilled, can match the credibility of the brand saying: this is real, we certify it, we stand behind it.
Digital authentication technologies — NFC chips embedded in products at manufacture, blockchain-based provenance tracking, AI-powered counterfeit detection — are beginning to create new possibilities for authentication at scale. Several luxury brands have already implemented digital product identities in new goods, which creates the infrastructure for a certified resale program where provenance is digitally traceable from manufacture through every ownership transfer.
LVMH’s Aura Blockchain Consortium, which multiple luxury brands including Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, and Prada have joined, is developing exactly this infrastructure. If successfully implemented at scale, it would create a platform for brand-certified resale that is significantly more credible and more scalable than manual expert authentication. The technology is promising, though its widespread consumer adoption and practical integration into resale workflows remains a work in progress.
Sustainability Theater vs. Genuine Environmental Impact
Here is the question that sustainability-conscious consumers, journalists, and regulators are increasingly asking luxury brands, and it deserves a direct answer: in the broader context of the fashion industry’s environmental footprint, how significant is the circular economy activity of luxury houses in terms of actual measurable impact?
Luxury fashion represents a small fraction of total fashion production by volume. The environmental damage done by the fashion industry is concentrated in the fast fashion sector — the billions of low-quality garments produced annually from synthetic materials, using enormous volumes of water and chemicals, shipped globally multiple times, worn briefly, and discarded. A Louis Vuitton handbag, made with genuine leather, exceptional hardware, and extraordinary craftsmanship designed to last for decades, has a very different environmental profile from a ten-dollar fast fashion equivalent made from polyester in a factory with questionable environmental standards.
Luxury brands’ circular economy initiatives, however genuine, operate on this relatively small base. The total volume of luxury goods in circulation is a tiny fraction of total fashion goods. Resale and rental programs operating on this small volume generate real but limited aggregate environmental impact relative to the industry’s total footprint. This does not mean these programs are not worth doing — they are, both for their direct impact and for their demonstration value and market signaling. But it does mean that luxury sustainability marketing that frames these programs as transformative solutions to fashion’s environmental crisis is overstating the case dramatically.
The most important environmental contribution luxury houses could make — beyond their own circular economy programs — is using their cultural influence and market power to shift broader industry norms toward quality, longevity, and circularity. A world where fast fashion brands compete on the quality and longevity dimensions that luxury brands have always owned, rather than the volume and novelty dimensions, would have a far greater environmental impact than any luxury resale program.
The Pricing Architecture Problem in Resale
One of the most delicate aspects of luxury resale programs is managing the pricing architecture so that the pre-owned market complements rather than cannibalizes the primary market. This is a more complex problem than it might initially appear, and it involves navigating genuine tensions between consumer interest, brand interest, and market dynamics.
If a luxury brand’s resale program makes high-quality pre-owned versions of its most iconic pieces readily available at prices significantly below primary retail, it creates a rational alternative for price-sensitive buyers who might otherwise save up for a primary market purchase. Why pay five thousand dollars for a new Louis Vuitton bag when a certified pre-owned version in excellent condition is available for two thousand dollars through the brand’s own program? For some buyers, this trade-off will be attractive, and those buyers may never upgrade to primary market purchasing.
This dynamic is particularly sensitive for entry-level luxury goods — the smaller leather goods, scarves, and accessories that serve as gateway purchases for aspirational luxury buyers. If the secondary market price for these gateway items is low enough to attract buyers who might otherwise save for a primary purchase, the brand risks undermining its own customer acquisition funnel.
Managing this requires sophisticated pricing strategy — setting certified pre-owned prices at levels that create genuine value for resale buyers without creating so much value that they substitute entirely for primary market purchases. It also requires careful category management, potentially limiting resale program engagement to certain product categories while protecting the primary market in the most strategically sensitive ones.
The Generational Opportunity: How Younger Buyers Relate to Luxury Resale
Here is the genuinely exciting strategic dimension of luxury circularity that deserves optimism rather than skepticism. For younger affluent consumers — the millennials and Gen Z buyers who have grown up with Depop, Vestiaire Collective, and The RealReal as normal parts of their fashion consumption — buying pre-owned luxury is not a compromise or a second-best option. It is a preferred mode of engagement with fashion. It is culturally cool, financially smart, and environmentally aligned.
This demographic buys pre-owned luxury not because they cannot afford new, but because they actively prefer the experience of hunting for a unique vintage piece, building a wardrobe with genuine character and history, and participating in a fashion culture that values knowledge and curation over simple spending power. For this buyer, the authenticated, brand-certified pre-owned program is potentially more engaging than the primary retail experience — more discovery-oriented, more personally expressive, more aligned with their values.
Luxury brands that understand this and design their circular economy programs to serve this sensibility authentically — rather than grudgingly or as a brand protection exercise — have an enormous opportunity to build deep, early-stage relationships with the next generation of luxury consumers. The pre-owned entry point becomes a brand relationship that, for the buyers with highest spending potential, eventually extends into primary market purchasing as incomes grow and aspirations evolve.
Building the Repair and Care Ecosystem as Circular Infrastructure
One of the most authentically circular things a luxury house can do — and one that both serves environmental goals and reinforces brand equity rather than threatening it — is investing in world-class repair, care, and restoration services for its products. This is an area where luxury fashion’s traditional strengths are directly applicable to circular economy goals, and where the strategy is almost entirely win-win.
A luxury brand that offers exceptional lifetime repair services for its products — restoring aging bags, resoling shoes, reweaving damaged textiles, replacing worn hardware — is demonstrating the quality of its craftsmanship, deepening its customer relationship, extending the effective lifespan of its products, and differentiating itself from fast fashion in the most tangible possible way. Hermès’s Petite H program, which creates new objects from offcuts and damaged materials, and its spa services for bags, exemplify this approach. Louis Vuitton’s repair ateliers, which can restore vintage bags to near-new condition, serve the same function.
These services are also potentially profitable in their own right, commanding premium prices from customers who are deeply attached to specific pieces and motivated to extend their lives. And they generate beautiful brand storytelling — the thirty-year-old bag restored to perfect condition and passed to a new generation is a more powerful advertisement for the brand’s values than any marketing campaign could achieve.
The Credibility Test: What Genuine Commitment Looks Like
If you want to assess whether a luxury house’s circular economy program represents genuine commitment or sophisticated sustainability theater, there are several tests that reveal the difference. The first test is supply chain transparency — is the brand willing to publish detailed, independently verified data about its suppliers’ environmental and social practices, or does its sustainability reporting stop at the atelier door? The second test is volume discipline — is the brand actually limiting production growth in service of sustainability goals, or is it growing volume while publishing circular economy commitments that affect a small percentage of its output?
The third test is program scale relative to total business — is the resale or rental program a meaningful fraction of the brand’s customer engagement and revenue, or is it a small pilot that generates marketing value without materially affecting the brand’s environmental footprint? The fourth test is design commitment — are the brand’s new products designed for decades of use, with repairability built in and materials chosen for longevity, or are they designed for current season appeal with secondary considerations of durability?
Brands that pass all four of these tests genuinely deserve to be described as embracing circular economy models credibly. Brands that pass one or two while failing the others are engaging in partial circularity at best and greenwashing at worst. Consumers, journalists, and regulators are increasingly sophisticated enough to tell the difference, and the reputational consequences of greenwashing in a sustainability-aware market are increasingly severe.
Conclusion
The question of whether luxury fashion houses can build a credible and profitable circular economy model through resale and rental without undermining their core exclusivity proposition does not have a single answer — it has a spectrum of answers that depend on how thoughtfully, how ambitiously, and how honestly each brand pursues the challenge. Done with strategic sophistication, genuine design commitment, and the courage to confront growth imperatives honestly, circular economy models can actually reinforce luxury brand equity rather than threatening it — by demonstrating quality claims, deepening customer relationships, capturing secondary market value, and cultivating the next generation of luxury buyers on terms that align with their values.
Done superficially, as marketing exercises that generate sustainability headlines without meaningfully changing a brand’s environmental footprint or business model, they represent expensive greenwashing that will become increasingly difficult to sustain under regulatory scrutiny and consumer skepticism.
The luxury houses that will navigate this tension most successfully are those that understand what their brand equity actually consists of and which elements of circularity reinforce rather than threaten it, that invest in genuine circular infrastructure rather than surface-level sustainability communication, and that have the strategic patience to build a circular economy model that serves both long-term brand health and genuine environmental purpose simultaneously. The paradox is real, but it is not unresolvable. It simply requires a level of strategic depth and genuine commitment that is harder and more expensive than a well-designed campaign.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does participating in resale markets actually damage the exclusivity and desirability of luxury fashion brands?
Not necessarily and not automatically. The impact on exclusivity depends heavily on how the resale program is designed and at what price points pre-owned goods circulate. Brands like Hermès, whose secondary market prices frequently exceed retail, demonstrate that a robust resale market can actively amplify desirability rather than diminish it. The risk of exclusivity damage is greatest when resale programs make aspirational items readily accessible at prices that significantly undercut the primary market, potentially substituting for primary purchases. Brands that manage resale pricing carefully, maintain authentication standards, and position their programs as premium experiences rather than discount alternatives can participate in circularity without meaningful exclusivity erosion.
What is the difference between a luxury brand’s own resale program and third-party platforms like The RealReal or Vestiaire Collective?
A brand-operated certified pre-owned program gives the brand direct control over authentication, pricing narrative, customer experience, and data — along with the credibility of brand-certified authenticity. Third-party platforms offer existing scale, established audiences, and operational infrastructure without the significant investment required to build proprietary resale capability. The tradeoff is between control and speed to market. Brand-operated programs are strategically superior for brands with the resources to invest in them, while third-party partnerships offer faster market access for brands testing the circular economy model or lacking the scale to justify proprietary infrastructure.
Is luxury fashion rental a viable business model for major fashion houses?
Luxury rental is viable in specific, circumscribed contexts — primarily special occasion and event wear where ownership is not the goal — but it faces fundamental challenges in core luxury categories where the ownership relationship is central to the brand’s value proposition. Rental works best as a carefully managed, limited extension of a luxury brand’s ecosystem rather than as a core business model. The economics of luxury rental — the cost of maintaining high-quality inventory in rental-ready condition, cleaning and restoring between uses, and managing logistics at luxury quality standards — are challenging, and consumer appetite for renting everyday luxury goods, as opposed to special occasion pieces, remains limited.
How should consumers evaluate whether a luxury brand’s circular economy claims are genuine or greenwashing?
Consumers should look beyond marketing communications to substantive evidence of circular economy commitment. Genuine commitment is evidenced by transparent, independently verified supply chain reporting; design choices that demonstrably prioritize longevity and repairability; resale and repair programs that represent meaningful fractions of the brand’s customer engagement; and volume discipline that reflects genuine sustainability values rather than unlimited growth pursuit. Brands that make bold sustainability claims while growing production volume significantly, disclosing minimal supply chain data, and operating circular programs at negligible scale relative to their total business deserve skepticism.
Could luxury fashion’s circular economy models serve as a template for the broader fashion industry?
In certain respects, yes. Luxury fashion’s traditional strengths — quality design for longevity, skilled craftsmanship, robust repair ecosystems, high secondary market value — represent exactly the attributes that a genuinely circular fashion industry needs across all market segments. If luxury brands demonstrate that quality-oriented, circularity-compatible business models are commercially successful, it creates market and cultural pressure on other fashion brands to compete on quality and longevity rather than volume and novelty. The most valuable contribution luxury houses could make to fashion’s circular economy transformation is less about the direct environmental impact of their own programs and more about using their cultural authority to shift the industry’s norms and consumer expectations in favor of durability, repairability, and conscious consumption.
