    Rolex was smart In the 1970s when the quartz crisis hit the watch industry. Many Swiss watch companies tried to compete with the inexpensively made Japanese quartz watches. They couldn't continue to make high quality watches at that low of a price point. They lost their market share and went out of business. Many of these watches were comparable to Rolex as far as quality. Rolex on the other hand did not try to compete with the Japanese watches. Instead, they raised their prices significantly. That created the image of exceedingly high quality and exclusivity. Their strategy worked and they're still in business today.

    Anthony Holley The difference is that you are merely making an empty claim without evidence to back it up. I would like to know which $20 handbag uses the exact same leather from the exact same cow that the $5000 one uses. Let’s forget about designs, craftsmanship, and quality control, $20 is way too low for a genuine leather handbag anyway. Your cotton T-Shirt example also makes zero sense. You realize not all cottons are produced equally, right? Luxury brands tend to use cottons from places like Japan and Italy, rather than China, though that’s not always the case. I’m in no way saying a plain T-Shirt from a luxury fashion house is *worth* $500 - it is not, but comparing it to a cheaply mass produced 50 cent T-Shirt from China is an utterly stupid comparison. And no, you can’t import a 50 cent cheaply made T-Shirt and print a logo on it then expect people to buy it for $200-$1800 each - nobody would buy it knowing it’s made in China from the cheapest cotton with no quality control in some sweatshop by an underage and underpaid kid. You don’t understand a thing about “luxury.”

    I'm watching videos like these out of sheer curiosity, always trying to comprehend what drives some people to act like... Well... Like that. I'm a person who's always wearing sports clothes, mainly from Decathlon, because it's comfortable and lasts for a very long time for a very cheap price. The most expensive "wear" I own are my 80€-100€ Adiddas sports shoes that I buy every 3 years or so and keep using until they become so wear down and filled with holes I can't use them anymore. That's when I go to the shop, buy a new ones that fit my needs and throw the old ones in a container on my way back. Sometimes I even keep the laces if they remain in a good state. I'm not poor and it's not like I don't appreciate the looks of fancy clothing. People who dresses "well" do have a distinctive aura around them. But if I went to spend my well-earned money on something whose high price comes mainly from its "exclusive" logo... I'd honestly feel really stupid. And with this I'm not meaning that my ways are better than those who choose to spend that money. It's just that I struggle to empathize with them, since their mentality seems so alien to me. The way I understand "exclusivity" is: -If it's a tailored work that requires a highly skillful artisan, weeks of work and rare materials, then it can very well be called an "exclusive product". -If it's a piece of clothing with a logo that has a million chain-produced copies with the same logo and a 100 million versions with different logos, but, for some reason, the one with that specific logo has a prohibitive price that limits its buyers to those with the highest income, then it's not exclusive. It's overpriced. And it doesn't matter that some parts might have slightly different and more expensive materials. Even if they spent twice or thrice more in raw materials, that still doesn't explain the price being 40 times greater. I see them *almost* like how I see those lunatics who spend 30.000€ in a bucket full of garbage only because that bucket was in a modern art museum behind a label that "qualified" it as a piece of art. Some people might choose to pay more attention to the label and be blinded by the gravitas of the ""artist"" who made it and see it as a unique piece of art. Then decided they wanted to buy it for 30 grand. While me and my shallow mind would stay fixated at the piece itself and struggle to see it as anything different than a bucket full of garbage. Then feel scammed by the 15€ entrance fee. "They say this junk has a deep meaning within it. Hmmm... Maybe it's in that funny-looking old stick protruding from the side of the pile. It certainly is unusual to see such a stick inserted that way over a garbage bucket, almost like it was made on purpose... I wouldn't move it too much though. It looks like it's gonna fall anytime soon."

    It's more about status than quality. Only people with enough bucks will be able to afford "luxury" items. (With the exception of Hermes Birkin - you won't necessarily be able to get your hands on one even if you have the money for it. You need to have the right connections or rapport with the Hermes staff in order to get one).

    With the rise in flex culture and the normalization of designer goods, it means more people (who can’t necessarily afford it and go into debt for these purchases) are buying it and increasing demand. These companies know the demand is there and will happily increase their prices to maximize profit. The sad thing is that the quality of these goods have gone down, e.g. the common quality issues in LV Neverfull or LV Porchette Métis

    Gibson got caught in a PR nightmare when a video came out of them running over poorly-selling guitars with a backhoe rather than reducing the price. Then they went on about “playing authentic” or whatever, essentially doing the same thing these fashion companies are doing. That’s when a lot of people started to realize that the emperor had no clothes, and they didn’t have to idolize a brand name just because the brand itself insists you should.

    The reason a Balenciaga logo t-shirt costs 300$ is placement: luxury brands can't sell you a dress for 2000$ and at the same time a t-shirt for 20$. That would mess with their perceived value and where they stand in the market (high-end in this case). It's the same reason why an iPhone charger costs like 50$. Once you've chosen your placement in the market you have to stick with it no matter what you're selling unless you want to risk losing the appeal of your brand.

Those rich people buy these so called luxurious clothes to not look one of the normal people or the poor crowd.

The costs have stayed the same, so why does it keep going up. Surely there will be a line where people will not pay an extortionate amount for a piece of clothing because even they would think it is too much despite their wealth
