Branding textiles either visibly on the outside or on small tags inside is where most of all high fashion textiles derive value. How is that not relevant?
In fact when sold to “last season” liquidators many high fashion labels are cut or removed to indicate loss of value
- Jhsto 8y agoAt least to me, the value proposition is different. I do not buy much avant-garde, so most of my pieces look quite ordinary. The difference to say, H&M jacket, is the durability and materials. I do not think these are exclusive to just designer brands, so basically, designer clothing buys me quality assurance. In my perspective, I could spend the time to find brands which consistently produce good garments, or go to second-hand stores to look for bargains, but that takes too much time. That is, I'd buy a garment from Kering subsidiaries just because Farfetch says it's authentic. But, for me at least, I would be okay for all branding to be stripped away before the garment ships. This is pretty much for safety reasons while I am wearing the cloth.
