Also, "quality" is perceptual and not always synonymous with durability.
I am not rich either and definitely protect (often to fastidious extents) my most rare, artisanal, and coveted pieces. These CCP pieces are given the highest value by me (because value is also perceptual), and I don't wear them because I want them to thrive for years without the unavoidable wear which daily use would inflict on the Visible Meltlock seams or the beautiful fabrics.
What I think is a problem, is the exorbitant price given to "hype" pieces. It may be bias, but I have a super hard time differentiating the "quality" between a Supreme pullover and a Fruit of the Loom one. I am entirely unable to find a heightened quality neither in design nor in construction that matches the higher price.
