Would you spend that kind of money for those Branded goods? I have a few friends who don't mind spending that kind of moneey on branded stuffs. For those myLotter who don't mind indulging it such goods, what make you purchase such items and why are you attractd by it? Curious.....

I'm not brand conscious. I usually cannot afford to be. Now, when we talk about perfume, sometimes I think of the brands because I know they are bound to be of better quality. Oh, and I don't buy generic soda, does that count? : )

Yeah... I too cannot afford the luxuries.. However, you are right, about perfumes.. Those expensive ones tend to be of better quality and the scent tend to last longer without turning bad... I do have a weakness for those though... Well about soda, hahaha.... :D

Yes. Maybe 1 expensive bag every 1-2 years will be good enough for me. I like the quality/durability as well as the brand image it carries with it. I have a Gucci bag that I use it for almost everyday for the past 4 years and it is so worn out but I really like it that I refuse to throw it away. Personally, I prefer Gucci and LV only.

Thanks for the response. Yes, sometimes, once in a while we can spoil ourselves because these things last longer.....

Hi,syain1972.
If I have enough money,I believe I will buy brand items for myself.But I don't think I'm brand conscious.I have given a speech about "Brand" in my class,and I believe that brand names mean high-quality,trends and unqie clothes.Though they are expensive but I wonder if I can,I do buy brand items for myself.
But I don't think people have to pursuit brand items.Wearing clothes with non-famous brand is okay for me.What I care a lot is clothes itself but not a brand.I will never buy an item just for its famous brand name.

nope I'm not - I'm the kind who would rather buy cheaper bags that wear out faster and then have an excuse to change to maximise variety. I like variety. same for shoes. :)
there are many who earn very average incomes who really seem to have a separate budget totally set aside for branded goods. I really wonder how they do it! perhaps they really feel that it's worth it. but for teens, i think not good to have too much self-esteem linked to branded stuff.
