There are a couple of videos on youtube comparing $1000 Louis Vuitton color pencils (yes, you read that correctly, thousand US dollars for a bunch of color pencils made by Louis Vuitton) to cheap everyday color pencils and the LV pencils lose! It is amusing to watch.
I guess many luxury goods are just good marketing and advertising.
