Reply to comment by robreto in Is there any hard evidence (not anecdotal) that "high quality" clothes actually last longer than their cheap counterparts? by bingworm
I think a lot of designer brands are actually well made. You can usually feel the stitching, material & overall quality when you handle those pieces. I have a $1k retail cashmere sweater I got at a thrift & it’s held up noticeably better than my $100-200 cashmere sweaters (also thrifted) even with the same care. It has longer threads or something so it hasn’t gotten as fuzzy as they have. It’s not a $900 difference though.
They just are over priced even for the quality because they ALSO add a massive brand tax on top of the quality price.

That’s true, especially their legacy items. But a lot of other items just look like their fast fashion counterparts but with a different logo. I would trust the quality of those
