Global luxury markets are thriving, and many consumers love purchasing luxury goods. Meanwhile, the public concern for sustainability is at an all-time high. More firms are providing sustainable market offerings; therefore, studying social-environmental well-being is imperative for macromarketing. Our research answers the call for attention to the influence of marketing on consumer well-being via sustainable consumption. This study investigates how sustainability and craftsmanship influence social-environmental well-being through brand authenticity, self-appraisal, reflected appraisal, and self-esteem in sustainable luxury consumption. We surveyed 400 consumers, and the results offer empirical support for our proposed theoretical model. The findings validate the view that sustainability and luxury are compatible. We offer evidence of the value of sustainability and craftsmanship for authentic luxury brands that produce market offerings which elevate social-environmental well-being. Our research indicates we can love both luxury and the earth, supporting transformative luxury momentum to enhance social-environmental well-being.
