I've shopped all my life and still have nothing to wear.

Why is the price of designer clothing so high? Have you ever wondered how much something actually costs to make? I'm not saying that everything that has a brand name is overpriced. But for example, apparels which are of good quality would be expected to cost more and it follows that brand names sell good quality merchandise. But really, I think the price really makes a brand a brand. If brands like Salvatore Ferragamo, Marc Jacobs etc were not expensive where would they be? I doubt they would exist. Is it not true that expensive clothing from a well known designer would be viewed as superior to cheaper clothing? Knowing that the item is expensive and above the reach of others just makes the pull to buying such items so much stronger, is it all about exclusivity?
This looks nice, oh wait, it's mine. Ralph Lauren leather jacket 895, Ferragamo shoes 690. Wth....
