Do you go for brands?

No. I would buy even non branded clothes provided I like their style. I do not care about branding if I find something attractive.

Hi cearn25, I usually don't care whether branded or not as long as it looks good and not out of fashion or I can afford then why not. My stuff are all mixed up with non-brand and branded ones but one thing that I have non-brands are shoes haha I like different style,brand and type of shoes. I am not a branded type of person,but my hubby is and sometimes it lead us into arguements for stuff to choose he like branded the most and I don't.

Hi cearn, It depends upon the items. If they the goods are of less use and would do even if I buy from the vendors I usually do not go for the branded ones. But when it comes to things of personal use like pants , shirts, trousers, TV, Camera, sound system, mobile phone I prefer to go to the branded ones for there is satisfaction. May be you pay a little extra but no compromise with quality.

those branded clothes doesn't sell the style of clothes that i like. i rather let my wife sew and create the clothes that i need. for equipments and gadgets... you need to buy those things that are branded for being so durable so you can get your money's worth.

It depends because I relise that branded clothing have better fitting , nice look , and doesnt get damaged easily . So I prefer branded clothing, well let me rephrase that I prefer branded clothing that I CAN AFFORD .

I don't really care about the brand actually.. I buy things based on the qualities and based on the "Whether i really need this or not" principles.. Doing this, I saved lots of extra money!

With electrical goods I usually go for good brands, like Sony or those that have good reputation of quality, but with clothes and shoes, I have found that the expensive brands wear out just as fast as the unkown brands, so don't get sucked into buying such stuff. I don't think it is good to target kids with expensive brands, as it can lead to bullying and ridicule, yet in reality, I think that it is the people who are hooked by big brand names who are getting the raw deal in the clothing industry. _Derek

I tend to buy branded clothes yes. Certain brands I really really like, like Banana Republic, Ann Taylor, Express, American Eagle, just to name a few. I like a lot of their styles and the quality of their clothes, they seem to last longer than clothes from Target or Wal-Mart for example. But I RARELY buy ANYTHING new. I am ALWAYS shopping at thrift stores and second-hand consignment stores looking for good deals. Most of my shirts I've probably bought for $5 or less. I generally buy whatever is cute, fits, and is a good price, though. But I have to admit there are a couple of brands that I do like.

I go with whatever the best value for my money is. Which is something that kind of changes from time to time. There have been many brands that have had their fair share of hits and misses, with really how well it tends to really connect with me to say the very least. Then again, if I don't think that the price is worth it, it will not be bought. It is just a simple as that. Granted, there have been some brands that have been rather constant. So I do tend to buy them more regular. But I will not purchase a substandard product at an outrageous price. That is really just going to be how it is going to work. Brands are not going to really be constant all of the time. And if I can get something that is generic for a lower price but the same value, than that's good enough for me. Its all about the value of my money.

Well, as much as possible, I will go for the branded ones. But of course, I will make sure that the brand I am buying is of good quality standards. I won't buy those overpricing brands which you only pay for their name with not that excellent quality at all. I go for quality instead of quantity. Buying a quality branded material is like a good investment. It should run for a long time without stressing you out and giving out problems. But of course, the branded materials that I can buy depends on my budget. If I am low on budget, I have to settle with the middle gauge to low end brands. But if I had all the money, I will surely go for the high quality branded ones. Performance and quality is my top priority in buying.

branded clothes have never been a thing for me, i go for what fits and what's comfortable, however if it's food, i go for the good stuff branded foods is much better than the stuff with no brand, you only get what you pay for

Igo for brands when i buy something.Branded things will last longer compared to items that are not branded...

Personally I have no interest in brand names and that applies to both luxuries and necessary food. Most of our groceries are the cheap, supermarket own brand kind and often there is little difference in the taste/quality of these products. When it comes to clothes, I buy the cheapest of the cheap and find that they last just as long as others' who buy branded items.

I go for the branded ones :d that's my guilty pleasure for myself.

actually there are brands that are for show, especially for bags, and for some purses. but then i would say that there are product brands that are very durable and should be bought for long term uses like rubber shoes, and some appliances. it really depends. I would say for dresses, and shirts, there are good brands and there are the cheap ones with really good designs too, i believe we ought to give these a chance because they are good to use too!

It really depends. If bags - yes because branded bags are more sturdy. For clothes and shoes - not really. As long as I am comfortable wearing it. For food - yes & no, it really depends on the ingredients & nutritional benefits.

When I buy things for my personal needs especially apparels and shoes, I usually go for name brands if I have money.We can be sure of it's quality. It's usually expensive but I guess we can be sure it's worth the price. Yes, we can buy cheaper ones in place of the branded goods but I have experienced that the cheaper items don't last longer, because the materials used or the way it had been made don't past the quality control most of the time.

I'll go for brand especially when I'm buying shoes. For me, my shoes have to be quality, lasting and also comfortable when I put on it. I have quite bad experience getting some awful shoes, due to I picked the cheap one instead of branded and quality. Of course, we don't buy branded stuffs just because of the name, we have to be rational and go with what we afford of. Have a nice day!

Sometimes, brand is not important as long as the quality is good and I like it, I go for it.

no.. i'm not really into brands.. for me they are all just the same.. i was only referring this to clothing.. as a practical person, i will never extract too much money in expensive clothes of which i can buy in a lower price in a different store.. for me, they are all just the same and it just depends on how you value this things .. and on how you washed them to maintain their quality.. :)
