I am trying to decided the point of having name brands on my shoes, jeans, sunglasses, purses, watches, etc. When I run with the crowd that I do (3 & 1 year olds) will the designer inspired brands work? I think so. This coming from someone who really only shops a target and Costco. I am not someone who will pay much for any one thing. Cumulatively they add up to lots, but I definitely have a breaking point for one item.
All this comes from a looking at watches on ebay, I know you get what you pay for, but $10,000 for a watch, when there is a knock off for $40? I don't know, sounds crazy to me. I probably wouldn't wear my nice things afraid that they would break. Where is the joy in that. My philosophy on items that I listed above is to buy inexpesive, wear it, enjoy life and if the kids break it, oh well.

my new clothes usually sit in my closet for weeks before I even think about wearing them ... afraid of ruining them. doesn't make much sense but i do it too.
well said, I don't see the point. maybe some day I will buy something really nice when I know that there is no one will puke on me!
