The Uprise of High-End Brands: The Good & Bad

So, there seems to be this revolution happening at the very moment where everyone is now buying high end brand items, be it clothing, accessories, shoes, sneakers, etc.



I've come to ask myself why this is exactly, maybe it's because of the fact that I'm becoming older and this is just something I'm naturally going to witness, since older people have somewhat more money, they can buy this stuff. Logically this makes sense, but then I wonder, should it be like this? After all, everyone has the right to do what they wish, don't get me wrong. I actually do enjoy seeing people happy when they walk out of the Louis Vuitton store with a new bag or shirt, and their smile across their face. But sometimes it even gets the most of people that can't afford it, and that's where a line is met, to me at least. Obviously, it's a "high-end" brand so it's exclusive to the more wealthy, but my point for this post is when I see snobby people with such brands, or people that shouldn't exactly be wearing it because they make the brand look bad. To say the least, just because you have a Louis Vuitton bag, that does not make you the sh*t people. Get some real exclusivity, then talk. Show me your pair of Millionaires, then you'll have my respect. Anyone want to share their two-cents on this discussion, I'd love to hear your input guys.
