Just to be clear - Hermes is also a fucking waste of money that serves no purpose other than to signal your membership in a club that has no value to society.

Yeah, they're a good example of conspicuous consumption.

All luxury products works that way

Yeah because luxury doesnt mean quality, pretty sure I could get a custom leather coat from some Amish dude out by Salmon Idaho thatd blow away any luxury leather.

Exactly, if you take off the brand logo of an item, its price would drop significantly.

The item itself is secondary, what's important is the status it passes to other people. That's why we find those ridiculous stuff with Supreme brand

For sure, I was just putting a blunt tip on it so nobody would be confused.
