    1. LV bags and CHANEL are the luxuries which are related to fairly elastic demand. They fall into such category is because the price of luxuries is too high and this causes customers will pay more attention on the price changes from luxuries. If a price of a luxury decrease, the quantity demanded will increase frequently.

    1. People still wan to buy luxury goods due to the increase of their level of income and their personality. High level of income will causes people to buy their wants and not just to buy their needs. Personality such as loyalty to a brand will also causes a person to buy luxury goods.
