Is brand important to you?

Yeah, before.. but now? not anymore.. I used to raid signature stores before such as armani exchange, lacoste, top shop, zara, mango, ralph lauren, body shop, mac, esprit, nine west, dorothy perkins, etc.. I would always use my credit card and shop till i drop but when i met my hubby i have learned how to be practical in so many ways.. now, i don't mind buying clothes at local stores like bayo, folded and hung and maldita and tiangge(discount) stores in greenhills..

i like imported brands if local brands wouldn't do. like the all time classic polo shirts. the only mall here in my place, in the countryside, is sm and that means not so high end brands. unfortuantely, much as i buy and would like to support local brands, sometimes they just couldn't provide the quality i want. this is only with polo shirts, though. i like hang ten. they make the best polo shirts. quality and style is there. as with toiletries, it is the same. i try the local brands first. if that wouldn't do i try the imported brands but is made locally. some local companies are licensed by imported companies to do this. if that wouldn't do i have no choice but to buy the expensive and imported toiletries also.

Nomrally i don't choose products by brands but by characteristics and nice functionalities..so normally when you buy some products coming from big brands you expect to hae an high quality product seeing that you pay it more but in some cases it is not as so...so naturally it depends from goods for example in hi-tach normally big brands are expensive but have qualiy hardware and in clothes quality texture...so it depends..but i am not so influenced by the brand when i shop something!!
