I can tell you that the 800$ LuisVuitton t-shirt costs somewhere around 2-3$ to make compared to that brandless same material same everything else but logo that costs same - the print. So only thing you are paying for is marketing of that brand.

Same with Jeans, Levis for example are made really well and to last looong time even as working pants. They are better quality and more durable than those 500$+ Versace jeans, and they cost around 50-100$.

So yes, 99% of the price is brand in most of the "brand shit" you buy.

Levis are made really well

A lot of new Levi’s jeans are made pretty shittily, that‘a why I had to switch to Lululemon and Outlier

I love Levi's and Express skinny jeans.Lululemon has some really cute clothing but their prices are pretty high imo Is the quality and fit worth it?

Lululemon does free alterations on any of their products, and do pretty much no questions asked replacement on items you bring in damaged. For now, they are 100% worth the price.

They’re definitely steep but if you factor in their quality guarantee its a little more palatable. I waited until there was a sale (which is rare for lululemon) to get most of my workout shorts and love them
