Data collected from a sample of 402Pakistani respondents through self-administered questionnairesand analysed with Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) in AMOS.The findings supported that purchase intention mediated the relationship between contextualfactors and consumer purchase behaviour. The findings will help brand managers, law enforcement agencies, brand manufacturers, and Governments to evaluate their existing strategies and develop anticounterfeitstrategies. Similarly, international luxury manufacturing companies can devise strategies based on the findings that purchase intention determines theactual purchase behaviourof Pakistani consumers.
