The feeling that you're a patron for someone's craft, that you're enjoying the finest experience the world has to offer and helping to maintain dying traditions

The feeling that you're a patron for someone's craft, that you're enjoying the finest experience the world has to offer and helping to maintain dying traditions in a disposable world. Tiny hidden details that no-one knows about but you and the maker. Feeling like you're standing a few feet taller because you have the strength of the individuals and brands who made your products behind you, and that no-one can fault you on taste. Luxury that is distinguishable is about impressing people (especially people who can't afford the item). Indistinguishable luxury is about impressing yourself. Is this correlated to low self-esteem or a touch of arriviste/imposter syndrome? Probably.
