    Didn't you hear me say, i like they way their clothes are made and fit. There is a difference between high end products and some Walmart ? , there are certain things you want to spend good money on and i have no problem with that. I also know how to get deals (Marshalls, TJ Maxx, etc), rarely do i ever go to one of the big department stores.

    I was agreeing with you my ? .

    I think it's different for women. We really don't have to buy name brands. As long as we know how to hook it up, style it and accessorize, it's gonna look nice, even if it's all from Joyce Leslie or something. But name brands do have better quality. So if you plan on keeping something for a while, name brands make more sense.

    It depends on the particular piece though. A t-shirt is pretty much the same, no matter the brand. A coat or even sweaters, is different though.

    eh....if you got the money I dont see a problem with somebody wanting to spend on a label

    me personally, I spend my money on utility.....it actually has to have a use for me to see it as valuable enough to spend my money

    so if I buy a coat, it better be a good coat that lasts, looks good, and keeps me warm. but I peep some mofos buy ? just cause it got a name

    the ? you gon do with a louis rag SMH & LOL

    For myself it is not the brand that I am paying for; it is the quality of fabrics/textiles that I am looking for and when you pay cheap; people tend to get cheap quality fabrics that always: a) rip b) stretch out c) shrink.

    I won't lie. I'm shallow. I have to feel fresh, and the only way I will feel fresh is if I have expensive ? .

    So if I wanna spend 175$ on a pair of diesel jeans or 250$ on some Kenneth Cole shoes, I'll just have to do that.

    Image is everything...and I notice that ? rile up with envy when they see you have on something that they can't afford. LoL


    but why spend that much money if you dont have to?? 175 on a pair of jeans and ? in hati cant even drink a clean glass of water..some people priorities are all messed up

    fila-helmsman-prada-america-cup.jpg
    one cost 350 Bucks the other 50, yet people rather pay 200+ more dollars for the prada

    this is what most companies do...cop them a plain shirt for 5-10 cents , put some designs on it and more importantly there logo and sell it for $50 ...aND now ya clown ass fill like somebody...

    Same reason why they want name brand food instead of off brand and a Benz in they driveway that costs more than they house to a certain degree and level we all live beyond our means

    even though the crazy thing is with some name brand clothes they're usually made in the same factory as an off brand knockoff but people dont recognize that

    My cousin used to work for Vlasic pickle she told me when pickles came off the assembly line for bottling some would go in a vlasic jar others in a generic brand jar but they were the same product ? were just paying more for the name
