Abstract [en]

This research explores consumers' perceptions of value in customized garments, focusing on financial, functional, social, and co-creation aspects. Using the Luxury Value Perception theory and The Six Faces of Value Co-creation framework, the study examines the experiences of Swedish women aged 20-30 who have purchased customized fashion items. The findings reveal that customers are willing to pay a premium for customization due to its uniqueness, superior fit, and quality. Customization enhances personal expression, emotional connection, and social status, while fostering brand loyalty through active customer involvement in the design process.
