I honestly despise the SIGNATURE/DESIGNER "coolness" idea
« on: April 14, 2008, 12:36:01 PM »
Fak.  A simple Louis Vuitton bag that can carry a makeup kit, cellphone and other [gooey brown stuff] that takes your partner forever to finish in the dressing room can cost no less than P28k.  Their shoes go for P37k a pair on the average.  The same goes for Gucci and Prada. 

On the other side, you have people buying cheapass knockoffs of signature or designer clothes.  Why the hell do you buy 'em? 

Buti pa Girbaud, they sell their bags with fair prices, although I find their jeans a tad too expensive. 

But then again, what if your partner tells you, "Why do you need a P50,000 (or more) guitar or amp?"

just my two cents bro, I think it's the "quality" of those stuff, plus of course theie endorsers, pero may iba na dahil sa mahal ng ibinabayad sa endorser, grabe ang presyo.. Karamihan naman is because of the taxes kasi imported sila.. try selling "blowing bubbles" and "bizzare" shirts sa ibang bansa..  :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

hindi rin ako naniniwala sa pagbili ng mga branded na damit. parang impraktikal din minsan. marami akong damit na hindi naman branded pero hanep ang quality.

at saka kung fashion sense lang din, nanjan naman ang tinatawag nating 'ukay ukay'. madalas din pag may nagustuhan akong damit pero branded, maghahanap na lang ako ng approximation ng design nito sa kung saan na mas mura. haha.
Ows? Di nga?

for normal wear, i don't buy spendy stuff, hell, i often wear down what i usually own but i do admit that the cut, feel and workmanship of a nice Zegna or Marlowe suit is well worth the price. i have a couple of really nice suits for use when the event requires something extra spiffy.

+1,000,000,000!

yun naman ang masaklap. anhin mo yung mga damit na ganyan sabay utang amf. in the end, hindi ka rin naman mapapansin with the clothes you wear. why do you wear expensive clothes in the first place? pa-impress? (depende na nga lang kung uber-rich ka and you CAN afford to buy 'em) pero kung sakto lang yung sweldo mo for daily expenses sabay bili ng mamahaling damit/gamit eh ogag ka pala.

pagdating sa gamit sa musika, ibang usapan na yan. it suddenly becomes justifiable when you have a new buzzard (naks incx) or whatnots. iba yun eh. hindi mo pwedeng isumbat sa partner mo: eh baket ikaw ang mahal ng gitara/amp mo?  :lol:

my point-of-view

why do most of us despise signature items? take for example na lang ang prada bags. why do you despise them? is it because:

1. you can't afford it
2. you don't think you'll use/need it
3. both

I THINK, people who tend to buy these expensive things have their 'not so valid' reasons (not-so valid sa level nating mahihirap or middle-class). isa na siguro sa mga resaons na yan ay ang pagkakaroon ng mayayaman ding kaibigan or acquaintance. at/or isa silang kilala/sikat na tao. sa tingin niyo kung hindi mayaman, mei kaya, or kilala ang mga taong nakapalibot sa kanila ay bibili pa rin sila ng mga ganyang gamit?

at dyan pumapasok ang salitang... INFLUENCE

disclaimer: hindi po ako mayaman. hindi din po ako sikat. at lalung hindi ako big fan ng mga mahahalin/imported na gamit..

lastly... pag halimbawa mei partner kayong mahihilig sa mga mahal na gamit... tapos binanatan niyo ng 'bakit ba ang hilig mong bumili ng mga mamahaling gamit?' at binanatan ka niya ng 'eh bakit ikaw bumibili ng mga mahal na gitara (or accessories)?'

anong isasagot niyo? anong irarason niyo? hind mo pwedeng sabihin na magkaiba yun dahil the way i see it ay pareho lang kayong bumibili ng mahal na gamit. di mo din pwedeng sabihing neccessity or need mo yun (not unless musician ka by profession). pero kung hilig mo lang yun, hindi ka pwedeng mag rason na neccessity yun. pwede mong sabihin na dahil sa 'quality' pero pwedeng yan din ang isagot niya sayo. so lalabas pa din na pareho nga lang kayong bumibili ng mamahaling gamit.

so anong isasagot mo? di ba hindi naman kayo nagkaiba?  :lol:

that's why i said if its for professional use or you need it to earn money, ibang usapan na yon. i was referring sa situation na hilig ang pinag uusapan. haven't you read my first post? oh anyway, kung hilig ng girl ang mamahaling bag at ikaw naman ay mahilig sa gitarang 50K, then wala akong makitang difference or wala kang karapatang mag tanong sa girl na 'bakit mahilig ka sa mamahaling bag' kasi nga, the way i see it, pareho lang kayong bumili ng mamahaling bagay dahil GUSTO niyo.

now, kung yung girl ay mahilig sa mamahaling bag at ikaw ay bumili ng mamahaling gitara dahil PROFESSION mo ang tumugtog, then that's a different story kasi obviously, ikaw mei reason ka to buy that expensive guitar.

people, try to analyze the situation. di porket against kayo sa signature items, doesn't mean you have to be one-sided...  :roll:
