People who care about those symbols shouldn’t have to worry about better quality clothing since they’re usually the type that’s constantly keeping up with the latest fashions, in which case they’re replacing their wardrobe before the clothes have a chance to get worn out…
Personally, when I see a really fashionably dressed person, the message I get from them is “I am stupid enough not to have a mind of my own and need to have someone in Paris dictate to me what to wear every season.”
