People Should Know The Truth

Now I am starting to understand people's views. Only buying clothing just for the brand and recognition. I'm not saying this is bad, but I thought people should know what they are buying.

"Prada makes nylon handbags that sell for $900+. They have fairly average construction (mainly in a developing country with some finishing done in Italy) and nylon costs, give or take, about $1 a meter. Let's say Prada has some leather detailing on top of the nylon. Max, they probably spend $5 on the fabric. It takes a couple of hours to cut and sew a handbag, most of which is done by extremely low-wage workers. Then, there is often a "finisher" in Italy who sews a couple of pieces together, which allows them to use a "Made in Italy" appellation. Let's give them a generous $35 to construct the handbag. As a point of reference, that's about what my company could pay to make a comparable bag in America. Total Cost to Make: $40. Cost to Consumer: $995"

This article really showed me a good example of what I had been seeking. After reading it I was very astounded at the price difference. It only costs $40 to make, but it sells for $995! If people were to find out about what these high end companies are doing it may be bad for them.

Supreme takes it all

Everywhere I got I usually end up finding someone with some type of clothing with Supreme on it. Whether it be a hat, or shirt it's always there. I have researched Supreme for some time now and all I can say is that it is a very very expensive brand. Although retail prices for Supreme are actually decent, the re-sell price is double and even triple the actual cost. Limited quantity also has to play a role in its popularity. Since most people want rare things that others may not have. Most of the people I know that wear Supreme merely wear it simply because somewhere on their shirt or jacket it says the words Supreme. Since Supreme is such a noticeable brand I am now thinking that people only wear it just to gain attention. That's right attention. All they want to do is get people all riled up when they stroll past them wearing an expensive brand.

I've also found out that celebrities also wear Supreme. I have seen famous rappers and sometimes models wear this brand and that could also be a reason why people would pay such ridiculous prices for clothing.

HIGH PRICE FOR THE SAME SHIRT

For a while now I have been thinking about why people wear such expensive clothing. I thought to
myself it has to be the brand because I once saw an unbranded shirt sell for $5 whereas an exact replica, but branded sold for around $200!! This really amazed me and it sparked my interest in this topic. By the end of my search I hope to comprehend my people pay such outrageous prices for clothing. So far in my searches it seems that most of my results were found on fashion blogs and a few of them were actually credible sources. During my first searches I had found a forum called Hypebeast that was discussing my topic. Right now it seems that the forum is not a credible source. I shall now continue to find credible websites to use.

My main focus right now is to find out why people like the brand Supreme so much.
