Shopping Malls and Changes...

Brands mean nothing to me. If it looks nice, serves it's purpose and is at cost within my budget then it's good enough. Anything over 40 bucks better be a hell of a purse.  If it's over 40 and I or my kid really want it, then I'll wait for a sale or look online.

Holy crap! 2 grand for a friggin purse on gilt.com????Whaaaaaaaattt?

Haha! That is ridiculous, alright.

Some people are willing to pay inflated prices for signature brands.

Yup. My gay friend is one example. My sons would decribe him as "swag."

I'm brand conscious myself Mel. I know all too often it makes little diff with the generic brands. Food in Canada is a good example of that. Cheaper brands like Western Family are the same food product as the more famous brand names in different packaging.

Not me although my generous kin gifted me with an Yves Saint Laurent shoulder bag. I used it out of respect for them as I lived with them at the time but I truly dislike anything with letters on them--LV, YSL, G, C, MK, whatever else there is.



For a time, I proudly used native bags made by different tribes in my island.
