Luxury Clothing Brands (Chanel, Versace, Louis Vuitton)

[Butters]

Is anybody here interested in luxury fashion at all? I would love to hear from someone who does. What do you appreciate about these brands? 

Do you believe that expensive brands create more durable products? 

I personally haven't been able to get into this yet but I do appreciate these things more now than when I was younger. There's something unsophisticated about buying cheap stuff.

High quality clothes are great and nice, but not those cliche luxury brands.

Buy less obvious brands, stuff without logos plastered all over them.

What if you get a stain on your luis vatton? I get a stain on my shirt within 20 minutes of wearing it.

No luxury brands dont create more durable products. The shelf life is the same. Nothing makes them special.

Not rich people brands per se. Just shop for quality. I don't shop by brands. No brand has even 10th of what you need.

You can find quality stuff for reasonable prices. Clothing can last a long time, especially stuff like jackets and such.

@Leo Gura What is unspiritual about logos plastered everywhere?

[Oppositionless]

I get all my jeans and chinos (I don't wear shorts unless I'm at the gym, gross) from Old Navy.

Many people who wear brand name clothing are merely doing it for status & conformity. To appear wealthy, "important", & prestigious to the public eye.

In behavioral economics, it is called conspicuous consumption.

The highest quality and durable clothes i have came from remote mountainous villages and native weavers.

I have a poncho that is over 100 years old passed on by my great grandfather. Its made out of yak wool I believe. So warm and yet light, and even if you sit by the fire, it never picks up the smoke smell. Feels like a bear hug. All the branded stuff is often toxic by-product material and only costs $1 to make in india or china and sold for $100 at the store in US or AUS. 

Its all ego-play, basically becoming a living product, not a human. I was into that stuff as a teenager, boy I was a mess. 

Nothing luxury about it. The word luxury is highly twisted and misunderstood.

I have an old scarf an old lover gave to me that is the most luxurious feeling thing ever, and no one i have come across has been able to figure out what it is, its life the softest most natural feeling ever and interwoven with golden/amber roses and ripples. Its probably very old, been passed around from person to person for many many years, almost impossible to find such a fabric at any store in the modern world.

That too me is priceless, if someone offered me $10,000 i wouldn't sell it.

Nope. I've had access to branded stuff like this including things like burkins etc. 

It's not so outstanding quality to purchase these brands over anything else of high makemanship. 

You generally purchase the status + aftercare service. Many of these brands will repair and take back their quality lines.

I've found tons of off brand stuff that lasts longer and has better style (not trends). If you know fabric and can recognise stitching/cuts you can see quality very quickly. Many of my clothes were expensive off brand stuff that has been in my wardrobe 15+ years.... Minor repairs here and there. Not Luis Vuitton, Chanel or Dior expensive but higher cost for quality. 

Are you considering purchasing something?

[moonawakening444]

my view on this is that people only believe these products are valuable because there is a certain narrative attached to the object. these brands know very well the psychology that supports this. they can literally promote plastic bags as a dress, find a celebrity to wear it and post on social media then sell it for $10.00000... people will buy it and find it beautiful lol  

ps: you can still find quality products for an affordable price!!!

Haha,solid reply but did you pick this type of end of sentence question up from LLMs or not? 😂

Am not considering purchasing anything, but I've been watching the people that do. I stayed in Lisbon close to the street that has all these luxury fashion stores. Some people there looked very fashionable, but they didn't necessarily look more joyful than others. 

Actually, they didn't even look more joyful than the homeless people. Lisbon has a LOT of homeless, I might post about that sometime.

Yes, they have a cool culture surrounding it. I like going to events and fashion shows, it's a deep industry. I don't buy designer clothing myself as I can't really afford it but I've hosted a fashion show before and met some cool people in the industry. It's quite elitist but it's part of the game. I really liked that clavicular was at new york fashion week last month, it bridged the industries between the gamer/incel crowd and high fashion quite well. 

Great industry to meet many beautiful women as well so that's a bonus. 

It's a very harsh business model and one of the most difficult industries in the world. It's why only the most talented and best brands last long

@Butters dude. That is how I write. Not gonna change my style because LLMs might use a similar phrase.

It's not a loaded question - I was just curious. 

Tbh I know which users use LLMs for their replies (and remix them to look like their own words). There are a few peeps here who do it. But I ain't one 😁

[Butters]

@Natasha Tori Maru I wasn't accusing you of writing here with an LLM though, just curious if you had learned that ending question from them. That's quite a nice and engaging writing style.

There's a cutoff point where paying more doesn't increase quality. Luxury brands are primarily status objects. Your paying for the brand and the fact that it is expensive. These clothes also tend to be really flashy and ugly in my opinion. It's a scam.

Some good advice is to search stores that are a little bit more expensive than the dollar stores (HnM, New Yorker, etc.) because they sometimes have surplus clothes heavily discounted since less people go to the expensive stores. I got one of my favorite polos for cheap that way. Really high quality and durable thing.

Probably from writing a lot 🥹 speaking a lot also. It's my whole job tbh scoping out info and coordination. 

And ah! It's not you - it's me. I am all about authentic human expression. LLMs make me dry retch lol

Does North face count? Took a hardshell jacket to Iceland in the snow, under a waterfall, in -8 degree wind, under northern lights and it performs well consistently in the UK against cold weather and cold rain.

Also looks cool.
