Description :Luxury transgresses the elementary order of needs. Its sometimes ruinous expenditures defy the economic rule of utility. The criteria defining it – rarity, prestige, quality, craftsmanship, tradition, know-how, etc. – have only an approximate meaning, all the more so as they characterize numerous objects. – The criteria defining it – rarity, prestige, quality, craftsmanship, tradition, know-how, etc. – have only an approximate meaning, especially since they characterize many more ordinary objects.
