when buying shirts you wont even dare purchase unknown names... when having new bags, rather buy the best name.. in jeans, the famous brand where a lot of billboard told us so, have things expensively than cheaper, coz you think its not durable and wont wear any of those cheaps.. im not so branded, i just go for ordinary clothing, and im not so much of a brand freak... i only invest in things so important that im sure to use it a lot of times and a good brand is what i prefer, but fashion clothings, etc... i think when its out of style, its like a waste of money, it will just stay in your piles of storages... what do you think are you that branded person? do you dare to wear cheaper clothes? yes i will, i dont go for the name, im for the quality and comfort, if it pass my standard, im glad to wear it with pride. i'll purchase something that i know is compatible to me. what about you?

I am not a brand person, but if I had the means to do so, I certainly would. If you have the money to be in style and comfort than why not. I just don't think I could pick a bag over house and food. My sister does she will late on her rent just so she can get the bag or jeans.

I am a mixture of branded & non-branded person.So far as clothings etc concerned I never go for brand.But at the time of buying costly items,like electronics products,washing machine, AC,refrigerator,vehicle etc I never compromise with non-brands.I go for branded products.

I don't care what name is on the clothes as long as they fit properly and are comfortable to wear. Jeans are jeans whatever name is on the label.

I'm with you, comfort is always a better option. As long as I'm comfortable in them and they fit, I'm taking them with me lol.

ya both brand and non brand are okay with me. i go for all sort of cloths thats fine with me and fits. but sometimes i give a little bit more attention to brand clothings. brand names has something to do with the cloths. its not like non brand stuffs arent good but u will surely attract to addidas. coz its addidus dude! but non brands are cool too and a lot cheaper. by the way here in my place you can find brand stuffs for a cheaper price.

I don't look for brands for the clothing, bags, apparels, shoes, etc. I look for the products which I feel will be good first rather than which brand it is, whether it is worth the price, etc. Since branded items are costly, I mostly prefer to go for the non-branded items not only because of their cost but also some of the non-branded items do have some really quality products and they last longer than their branded counterparts, whicle some branded items will last lesser days sometimes.

I don't care about brand name.All i care is the quality and the price.As long as it suit my taste,comfortable and meet my needs.However sometimes,i do go for a famous brand.One's has to invest on their appearance too.For example ,a good pair of khakis or a stylish coat can enhance your overall look in dressing sense.I'm not so much a brand freak.I spend wisely.

I am not a "branded" person. But my husband is. He is in sales and they are constantly trying to one up each other. It causes many disagreements when shopping together. I can't convince myself that a sweater is worth twice as much as the one identical and next to it simply because a designers name is sewn into it.

I would never spend that much money on fashion to be honest! Why spend so much on something when I know I can get something which will do the same job so much cheaper? However sometimes designer items have an edge others don't- I own 2 designer bags, a pair of shoes, a necklace and a top. There all off ebay though lol

there are brands you don't need to buy because of the name but because their fittings are perfect for you. i for one used to wear levi's, and any other cheaper brands, but ever since i tried gap and american eagle i never came back. i like how the gap jeans fit on me but american eagle i only buy corduroy pants and i love their shirts & tees. and their quite cheaper than other name brands.

I'm not a branded person. If your buying cheap clothes, bags, shoes it doesn't mean they of low quality. There are some unknown brands that the durable. What is important is you're comfortable with what your wearing and what is also important is how you carry yourself. Your not going to tell every person that passes you by and say - Hey, Im wearing prada, jimmy choo, manolo blahnik, gucci, versace, armani, channel, vanlentino, louis vuitton, etc.

I prefer comfort and suitability compared to Brand names ...... Infact quite often I find brands such a bore because everyone around me seems to be wearing something similar whereas I like to be unique and simple ....... So I just buy whatever suits me and feels good !!! Brands don't spell durability always, they are sometimes just money swindling schemes and cheaper things last a life time whereas brands do not .......
