The study investigates how consumer concern, knowledge, and attitudes toward counterfeit apparel influence willingness to pay a premium for authentic goods, aiming to inform policy for educators and industry leaders. We surveyed 244 undergraduate fashion students at a large Midwestern university. Willingness to pay more for non‑counterfeit goods increased with higher concern, knowledge, and positive attitudes toward authentic apparel.
Abstract The purpose of this paper was to explore the relationship of three variables (concern with apparel industry issues, knowledge about counterfeiting and attitude towards counterfeit apparel products) with consumer willingness towards paying a premium for non‐counterfeit goods. The intent of the research was to develop a theoretically based foundation from which educators and apparel industry leaders can develop policy regarding counterfeit goods. Will consumer concern and knowledge influence the behavioural intent of paying more for non‐counterfeit goods? We surveyed 244 undergraduate students within a fashion and apparel programme at a large Midwestern university. In this study, willingness to pay more for non‐counterfeit goods increased directly with greater concern, knowledge and attitude towards counterfeit apparel goods.
