Luxury Duds (Critical Writing #2)

Interesting enough even though our economy is still struggling the average consumer is spending significantly more on luxury clothing items. The average consumer considers high end ticket fashion items as a status symbol. There is many various designer brands out there today with glossy ad's showing handsome young men and beautiful women in the latest fashions looking healthy, happy, wealthy like life is grand. What person would look at those ads and not want to be like them and emulate their fashion style. I myself absolutely love coach.  I often walk through the coach outlet just to look at the latest bag.  Although they are expensive they aren't out of reach. I do have a few bags, and whenever I use them I feel like they complete my outfit. I feel good when I am using my coach bags.  If there wasn't all the advertising about the Coach brand and the big hype about the store would I feel as excited about my purchase and get as much pleasure from using them absolutely not.  But for now I'm excited to go into the Coach outlet to see what bag I want to put on my Christmas list, and I'll feel awesome using it.

  1. The Coach brand definitely speaks of luxury! I know people who buy the "real" thing, and I also know some people who buy the imitation/knock-off. Brands do seem important to consumers.
