Not really into brands myself... for the odd one it's more the guarantee of quality I appreciate, which some well-known brands do have. But with all else being equal (if famous branded vs. non branded item are of comparably serviceable quality) then I'm not picky. If the price is exorbitant just because of the name and not because the product is anything special, well, thanks but no thanks. Sometimes I even avoid brand stuff because I dislike "statement" items, the idea that wearing a logo on your shirt or your bag is supposed to say something special about you :/
PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
