An easy way to think of the luxury goods definition is an expensive item you want rather than need. These items aren't necessary to survive like food and shelter, but they are extremely desired. Additionally, the higher income you have, the more demand there is to buy luxury items. For example, a $500 dollar Gucci bag would be a luxury item because someone wants it or it's the latest trend. You don't need a Gucci bag for your purse. But it is a desirable and in-demand accessory that some have the wealth to enjoy.

As you can see, these items are very expensive and made by famous designers or with high-quality materials. They are prime examples of luxury goods.
