People will all change. In the past, I strongly opposed my wife’s purchase of luxury goods, such as LV handbags. And we even quarreled because of such matters. Looking back now, it really wasn’t necessary at all. So, people’s concepts will indeed change.
LV handbags (or anything they make) are so gaudy and broadcast a certain airheadedness that I’d also struggle to see my spouse buy those.
But you’re right, it doesn’t make any difference in the bigger scale of things.
A lot of these brands used to mean quality merchandise that lasted, which is why they were so expensive. But after the conglomerates get ahold of them, it becomes commodity crap with a recognizable label slapped on it. It doesn’t help when the brand starts to stratify (like Izod) selling different levels of quality at different price points.
