But, you know, an expensive item.
And is a coach purse worth that?
No, you're paying for the fact that people see you carrying a Louis Vuitton or carrying a coach.
That's what you're paying for.
The purse itself is not constructed for.
you know, eight X better.
And this, this, this hoodie is not constructed.
The quality of the material or something is not, is not double what the $75.
So, I mean, you just kind of talk that through with them and go, what is it?
What is it that's driving you to want this?

And I'm not shaming you.
I just want you guys to think through this.
