Abstract This study investigates the key determinants influencing young Indian consumers’ purchase intention toward luxury fashion brands, emphasizing the role of brand image, attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. Drawing upon the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), a structured questionnaire was administered to 400 respondents aged 18–35 years across major Indian metropolitan cities. The data were analyzed using correlation, multiple regression, and mediation analysis to test six hypotheses. Results reveal that attitude, brand image, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control significantly influence purchase intention, with attitude emerging as the strongest predictor. Brand image also shows a positive relationship with attitude, confirming that favorable perceptions enhance emotional attachment to luxury brands. Mediation analysis further demonstrates that attitude partially mediates the relationship between brand image and purchase intention. The findings highlight that young consumers’ luxury buying decisions are primarily driven by personal and emotional evaluations rather than social pressure or affordability. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on luxury consumer behavior in emerging markets and provides actionable insights for luxury fashion marketers to develop brand strategies centered on image building, emotional resonance, and digital engagement.
