Thomas argues that the luxury industry has lost its way, becoming more about conspicuous consumption and status signaling than about quality and craftsmanship. She traces the history of the luxury industry from its origins in the royal courts of Europe to its current state as a globalized industry worth trillions of dollars.

Along the way, Thomas interviews industry insiders, from designers to CEOs to consumers, to get their take on the state of the luxury industry. She also visits factories and workshops to see firsthand the conditions under which luxury goods are produced.

Thomas's findings are disturbing. She reveals that the luxury industry is rife with labor abuses, environmental degradation, and animal cruelty. She also shows how the industry's focus on profit has led to a decline in quality and craftsmanship.

Deluxe: How Luxury Lost Its Luster is a wake-up call for consumers who are concerned about the social and environmental impact of their spending. Thomas urges us to rethink our relationship with luxury and to make more conscious choices about the products we buy.
