designer clothing - are they worth it?
$250 for a pair of Diesel jeans. $1000 for a leather Juicy Couture jacket. $100 for a pair of Valentino bras. These prices are INSANE! but are they worth it? what do you think??

No, I don't think that they're worth it. Even if I made a lot of money I would have trouble spending it on over-priced clothing. I would much rather have nice furniture, a nice home, or a nice car. I don't see a problem spending a little more to get better quality, but I'm not into expensive name brands.

I'm with y'all. Spending a little more for quality is often a smart thing, but the prices you are suggesting are over the top. You would be buying the item for the name not the function.

Not worth it, coz its in & out of fashion too fast to spend thousands on, but i have to admit, i have no problem spending extra on a good pair of jeans, to me they are worth it, because of the comfort they provide.

I have never bought name brand clothing unless you count the Croc shoes I just bought...LOL My mother-in-law and I use to have this discussion. Even though she couldn't afford it, she was always telling me they last much longer and are of better quality. I pulled clothes out of my closet and showed her items I've had for years. I tried to explain to her that if you wash them correctly and take care of them, that Wal Mart and Target..etc items last just as long. She must have remembered our conversations, because I now have all her clothes.
Even IF I was able to afford it, I would much rather spend money on my home.
