Sürdürülebilirlik ve etik değerlere önem veren yeni nesil tüketicilerin hazır giyim ürünlerinden/markalarından beklentilerinin karşılanması bakımından sessiz lüks ürünler giderek önem kazanmaktadır. Literatürde lüks ürünler ve lüks tüketimle ilgili çok sayıda araştırma olmasına rağmen sessiz lüks ile ilgili sınırlı sayıda çalışma mevcuttur. Bu çalışmanın amacı; lüks tüketim bağlamında sessiz lüks tüketimi tanımlamak ve hazır giyim markalarının sessiz lüks ürün özelliklerini belirlemektir. Keşfedici nitel bir araştırma olarak tasarlanan bu çalışmada, bir sessiz lüks markasının ürün özellikleri incelenmiştir. İncelenen markanın ürün özelliklerinin, literatür taraması ile elde edilen bilgiler doğrultusunda belirlenen sessiz lüks ürünlerin özellikleri ile benzerlik gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. Sessiz lüks ürünlerinin kalitesi yüksek ve dayanıklı olmakla birlikte zamansız ve minimalist tasarıma sahip olduğu, tasarımında nötr renklerin kullanıldığı, marka ismi ve logoların dikkat çekmediği ve sınırlı sayıda üretildikleri belirlenmiştir. Çalışmanın pazarlama ve marka yöneticilerine, moda tasarımcılarına, tüketicilere ve sessiz lüks kapsamında yapılacak diğer araştırmalara katkı sunması beklenmektedir.</p></abstract>

                            <p>With increasing consumer awareness, the definition of luxury has undergone a transformation in recent years. For a new generation of consumers who value sustainability and ethics, quiet luxury products are becoming increasingly important in meeting their expectations from ready-to-wear products/brands. Although there are numerous studies in the literature on luxury products and luxury consumption, there are only a limited number of studies on the concept of quiet luxury. The aim of this study is to define quiet luxury consumption within the context of luxury consumption and to identify the features of quiet luxury products of ready-to-wear brands. This study designed as an exploratory qualitative research examines the product features of a quiet luxury brand. It was determined that the product features of the examined brand are similar to the features of quiet luxury products as identified through information obtained from a literature review. Quiet luxury products have been identified as being high-quality and durable, yet featuring timeless and minimalist designs, using neutral colors, with understated brand names and logos, and being produced in limited quantities. The study is expected to contribute to marketing and brand managers, fashion designers, consumers and other researchers in the field of quiet luxury.</p></trans-abstract>
