This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about. If you look into branded stuffs, there are inflated cheap ones but there are also high quality ones. And compare to bank balances? That’s not applicable to high SES.

Brother ah brother…..people who buy dont need to worry about their bank balance cos its but a fraction of what they have, barely makes a dent.

when you’re in the rich millionaires club like them,where everyone is a millionaire, what they pay for is exclusivity and bragging rights.

Plus Staring at bank balance is a peasant activity.

People buy these brands for prestige only, not quality. Just check what type of material the typical monogram LV bag you see those aunties, Ah Lians, office girls etc. carry around and you would know they are paying for the brand and marketing. ;)

totally missed the point . when you start comparing cost of product to price of product.

everyone knows it's the brand you are paying the premium for.

it's not just handbag..
your watch, your car, your clothes, your shoes etc etc etc.


and doing business does not mean you only do a cost-plus model. that one is scrapping bottom of the barrel. and if everyone does that, it will always be the cheapest company wins.

cheapest company then will have to squeeze the employees gao lat gao lat to produce that tiny profit margin.
which means your salary wont be increasing anytime soon.

I only buy branded goods made in Europe. I’ve never understood why people buy branded products made in China, especially since more and more of these brands are starting to sell MIC items—which I won’t support.

It is branded for a reason. You buy from Tiong, got guarantee of same quality?

It's like saying fake Rolex should cost the same as real ones cos they look alike.

The reason behind buying branded goods is not just quality and design, but oso the sense of a certain lifestyle they invoke. It's like a dream. That is why the logo is important.

What's the point of spending USD1000 on a bag without the logo, but is similar in design, even though it's better quality? Ppl will still think it's fake, not even worth $1.
