Reply To: Designer Clothing – Waste of $$?

On a general level designer names are probably better quality, but that doesn’t mean that a non-brand name can’t be of equal good quality. When it comes to clothing for example, I personally look at the fabric. A 100% cotton item that appears to be sewn well, (experience or being a mayven on material definitely helps) will normally last you a while, regardless if you paid $5 for it or $200. Same applies to a genuine leather bag, or pure wool/cashmere hat. when I see something I like I go right to the label to see what it’s composed of – not to see if it’s a fancy name.
