Yeah, I agree it's totally crazy. But so is the entire high end, luxury goods status symbol game.

LV handbags are an example...they're basically just PLASTIC POCKETBOOKS and COVERED with logos,so any woman walking around with one is no different from a SANDWHICHMAN of old; a walking advertisement.

Are some very high end things ( clothing, watches, purses )well worth what one pays for them? YES! So WHY? It's simple...very good quality things last and last and LAST; many get handed down to the next generation and beyond that.And for the most part, these things don't SCREAM: "LOOK AT ME; LOOK HOW MUCH MONEY I SPENT ON xxxx.!
