Are You a Brand Lover When It Comes to Clothes and other stuffs? email this discussion to a friend?

Or Are You a Practical Kind of Person?

When I was young and single, I used to buy designer clothes and top brand products. I wanted quality and assurance that it will last for a long time..

I love imported items because I thought those are of high quality. And they actually are, because most of the things I bought, I still have and some I have been using still for over a decade now.

When I got older and wiser and married with kidslol, practicality set in. Of course, I would now think first of what the family needs than what I alone want.

When I opened my boutique shop, I carried top of the line apparels,bags,shoes, accessories and many more.That's what people here wanted so I gave them their wishes..

We have economic recessions here too. And when that came, funny how people suddenly wanted cheap items but still with quality. I too started calling suppliers for those.

Nowadays, clothes and accessories are not on my top lists. And if I have the luxury to buy new ones,there are many "unbranded" items in the market which are of high quality materials. As for accessories, i can always make some for my own use.

Hi! I can honestly say i have never purchased an item purely because of the brand. I agree that branded clothing is often of high quality but the price usually matches and as a student it's not a viable option! I also find that people who are a slave to brands and fashion don't have individual looks. If everybody wore adidas clothing then we would all look the same!
I prefer to shop for vintage and second hand accessories and clothing without a designer label, not only is this far cheaper but i feel it gives me more ways of expressing myself through my attire!
Making accessories is cool too, i do this as well and love wearing something knowing that nobody else in the world has one too!!

Me too, My personal accessories, of course are one and only.. But those that I sell are sometimes made in batches.. i go looking around for second hand shops too.. Sometimes, they have what i want on a cheaper price than those shops in the mall..

Once, my friend and I was walking in a mall and we passed by someone who wore the same summer dress she was wearing lol..We hurriedly walked away because she was so embarrassed to be seenlol..

I usually buy brand name on most things. Especially clothing and shoes. I just find that the quality is better. Most things last longer, and I have had better luck with the store if the quality did fail me. I have had to take a couple items back and told the manager how disappointed I was, and they ended up replacing the item and giving me a gift certificate. I can bet you wouldn't get that kind of a deal at wal mart!


myLot reputation of 96/100. eihdra (855)   ranked 1 out of 49 in adidas  1 year ago

oh not even a discount!!
Here in my country, they would replace it and that's it... sad

I am practical when i do not have money! LOL! I love shopping and if I have enough to buy what i want, I buy the durable ones which are mostly branded. there are also branded items that are not durable and would lose their beauty after two washing or in case of shoes just a week and the heels break!


myLot reputation of 96/100. eihdra (855)   ranked 1 out of 49 in adidas  1 year ago

hay... branded things which lasts and are really durable are very seldom these days..Moreso, with shoes...thanks... happy

I don't give a darn about brand names. I want something that works. The odd time tat I do buy brand ame is wen it omes to certain medications, because certain brands work better or me than others. Clothes don't really DO anything except to coer a person's body. I don't think it's necessary to have brand-name lohing.


myLot reputation of 96/100. eihdra (855)   ranked 1 out of 49 in adidas  1 year ago

I don't take chances on medicines..Here, The branded ones which are very expensive are usually the ones which works well and fast...thanks... happy

i dont usually have branded stuff as i feel that it is too expensive to be worth it.
but i usually just buy cheap but good clothes, and the best thing is that i am able to have more clothes that i love!!!


myLot reputation of 96/100. eihdra (855)   ranked 1 out of 49 in adidas  1 year ago

I know...you get to buy a lot more because you get them cheaper..But with branded things, you can only buy one or two because of the price..thanks,racliehappy

I used to be. i must confess i still love branded clothes. But the irony is that i can't afford them most of the times. I love them as i believe all are not so full who buy these expensive ones. the qualities are better as usual.its better to buy one good one rather than multiple cheap ones.


myLot reputation of 96/100. eihdra (855)   ranked 1 out of 49 in adidas  1 year ago

if you can look for cheaper ones and finds a store which carries untagged items, you will be amazed that those branded ones are just expensive because of the name..

Here, I have found some retailers which sells factory over runs, the ones which they export and becomes GAP, ANNE KLEIN, A&F and other well known brands when they reach other countries..

thanks... happy

When I was younger, I thought that was cool to wear brand name stuff. I did the best I could to get my mom to buy them for me. Now that I am 27, I dont give (bleep) what brand it is. I just want clothes that fit me well, feel good against my skin, and lasts. These brand name clothing manufacturers are not paying me to wear the overpriced clothing. So at the end of the day, I am going to continue shopping at the bargain boutiques that carry great quality clothing at reasonable prices. Thank you to those that make that possible.


myLot reputation of 96/100. eihdra (855)   ranked 1 out of 49 in adidas  1 year ago

I was like that too...but then I get to spend my dad's money, so no problem if it's expensive..But, when i got my own job, it sure is hard to keep such a lifestyle..thanks... happy
