    Reminds me of the time my wife asked me “why a computer monitor would cost so much (£500)”. This was straight after she had shown me a picture of a handbag she liked that cost £6000.

        I love fashion and I think high end clothes are priced way more appropriately than anyone here probably wants to admit, and I have huge respect for the artistry and craft that goes into it. But a handbag is definitely not a much more complex piece of engineering…at best they could be relatively similar for certain bags. The price difference is because a lot of bags need more manual involvement by decently paid workers rather than factory slaves. And because the artists doing the designing also get a solid salary as that is the primary aspect of the product. Whereas monitor designs are comparatively not so demanding to dream up and not as important.

      Not just that, I went into a North Face store and their shit was insane. It was like $450 for a bitch basic puffer jacket. I don’t mind paying more if it makes sense, I have a few watches over $1,000 and half a dozen Tom Bihn bags that are like $300-$400 each but they’re actually amazing quality because they’re hand made in America. North Face is Chinese mass produced trash.

        Down can be pricey but not that much :( they used to have a reputation for durability, I’m not sure how their stuff is now. Doubt it’s worth what they’re asking no matter how generously you try to frame it.

    This gotta be AI. The fingers look wonky and his right eye is open in one of them. Looking like Melina from Elden Ring

    On the upside, if you don’t wear the sweater for a couple years, it’ll still work like you left it.
