I slightly disagree about the Marni sweater pricing 🤣 -- sure, making clothes, prototyping and all is a laborious process but RTW brands that big do little of that work (if any) nowadays. The big price tag is mostly to cover marketing and overhead expenses.

You know much more than I do. Another thought: Do people only purchase big label items at such a cost because somebody else did?

Probably! Marketing does a lot :)

Also the prestige of the label

Yesterday my dad and I picked up my car from just a regular service check-in. We saw "his guy" and I thought about how the gen before us put their trust in "their guy," the *one* they call, and how younger people now tend to put trust in "our services" and how efficient their processes should run, how accurate the Google biz info is, how perfect their app UX should obviously be... when it's all humans and trial and error behind anything we do on this planet. And speaking of error I owe you a DM back lol

"My guy" is whatever Google Maps reviews say, which is interesting. There are so many things that can be gamified that we put our trust in these days. You literally cannot gamify human experience. Maybe we should just stick with that. Also, coffee on me!
