I'm not sure I agree with that, Naomi. Yesterday we went to Bicester Village and were looking at "expensive" clothes (eg, Stella Macartney, Victoria Beckham); we were appalled at the poor quality finish on the clothes. I made the comment to my wife that I wouldn't wear them if they were free, let alone at the prices they were asking.
To be fair, I have some super expensive purchases that people would doubtless consider me mad for, but most of the time I'm quite happy to schlepp around in stuff from thrift shops because I'm not really that much of a clothes horse. The problem (if indeed there is one) is most certainly not what people choose to spend their money on, that's their business, but if people feel pressured to buy very expensive things if they can't afford it, but there are lots of shoes that retail well over that so it's not THAT dramatic of a purchase (and Naomi is absolutely right about certain designers) x
I am surprised or may be not that the Tories have not been blamed fo the dreadful austerity we are all supposed to be suffering. I suppose these mega expensive glorified Gym shoes might secure the lad first place at the food bank or soup kitchen then. The kid obviously has no idea of value and want’s his bumps felt.
The frustrating thing is this.
My point is that a bit of cloth, or a shoe, is the SAME bit of cloth or shoe whether it has NO name written on it, or the name of some over-paid nonentity. The quality of the stitching is a red herring.
We should not encourage, or allow, young or otherwise intellectually-impoverished people to “believe” in the contrick of brands, but rather teach them the value of money, of human life, and of humanity’s need to care for each other.

Bainbrig, //It takes a real connoisseur of bull*** to recognise the difference.//
Haha! There’s expertise for you!

No, it isn’t.

It’s a mistake to assume that people who buy expensive items don’t care about others. You have no idea what they do.
