No I think you have read me wrong. Yes I do own designer things and 'generally' they are made better, well better quality materials and that is why they are a luxury brand because they are items of high quality and fashion forward etc.
But....... from this crap being on sale, it just depicts the fashion houses being after a sale and yes some cashed up Nouveau rich individual will come along and buy it. I am refering it to being in the same lines as selling out, rather than truly being about style and luxury anymore.
Now, people don't buy a $15000 Chanel snowboard as a joke. It is bought simply on the brand, lets face it! an avid snowboarder doesn't oogle at the amazing quality or cutting edge aerodynamics of the Chanel snowboard, it is simply to show off on the slopes.
What I am saying is that even though the shoes might be a better quality, and not stitched together by a 3-year old in a Chinese sweatshop (which is a main reason why I buy it) I feel like I am being a fashion victim to be buying into a brand that is only after a profit so is taking advantage of a naive 'fashion lover'
