I've worked in the high-end Industry.......trust me it's not worth the costs. The reason most women covet this stuff is it's all about the brand ‘Image’ they want to be associated with to impress other women....and to send a signal they are high maintenance to would be suitors.

Don’t include me in that “most women.” Last pair of jeans were off the Walmart sales rack a good 10 years ago. Sewn my own shirts, etc. from flea market fabric since. Hey, artisan clothing, hand made and one of a kind. Should get my own label.

“Most women”-maybe-but not this woman-my jeans and flannel shirts for work/everyday come from the online cheap clothing places-$8 to $15 per item-same for skirts/dresses and sweaters to wear out to dinner. I do spend more on boots-both for work and nicer wear, but I would never spend my hard-earned money on “designer” brands even if I had the money to spend-country people aren’t impressed by that crap anyway...
