When High-End Designers Partner With Low-Cost Retailers: Bridging the Access Gap
Designer-for-retailer co-branded products represent collaborations between high-end designers and low-cost retailers. They are attractive to consumers by bridging an “access gap” and provide consumers an opportunity to acquire status not accessible otherwise. Designers’ creative control moderates this effect, while desirability is attenuated if product prices are below expectations.
