I really feel that although there is definitly something to paying more for quality, but that is usually the difference between low-price and mid-price when you get into the really high price range, in most cases you are definitly paying for the highly sought after name on the label. .-= Kristen´s last blog ..Fashion Dare: Wham Glam Thank-You Ma’am =-.

good post so glad you mentioned the difference as far as startup designers that have more difficulty with their labels, due to their size prices go up which they can't really help also Alicia mentions that an A.Wang tank is still a tank which is true however the difference is in the details perhaps french seams or the fit of said tank is way different from a similarly sourced design at half the price plus the really luxe items justify their prices by way of quality that will last you a lifetime like Hermes -they have lifelong guarantee as I understand, so whatever goes wrong they fix it for you for free- not sure the same goes for big hipe brands as J.Choo or McQueen .-= M´s last blog ..DIY Fendi =-.

This is so on point. I can’t get how some people will thumb their nose at a lower priced garment made of the same damn materials. An A. Wang tank top is still a damn tank top.

A lot of times you are paying for a name. Price doesn’t always reflect quality.

Retro Chick – Oh yeah, I definitely think couture is a different level of what I was talking about. Something that’s handsewn takes AGES and so they have to cover the cost of their wages + the materials and all of that jazz. Although I still have my doubts as to how practical it would be, but you know.

Thank you for your thoughts, Ashe & Sheena! Good input.
