| Tiivistelmä: | This paper's focus is on the pleasurable aspects of shopping (hereafter as: sh-ing.) from an experiential perspective, ritual behaviour (here as: rit-beh.) being the focal point. Adopting an interpretive methodological approach, this study relies on phenomenological interviews in explaining how rit-beh. and ritual artefacts contribute to pleasurable sh-ing. experiences. The findings suggest that the dressing ritual is an important determinant of whether or not the sh-ing. experience will be perceived as pleasant or unpleasant. Equally important, the ritual of dressing was found to play an important role for many participants in their maintenance of self. |
