Definitely! Most of this comes from my design background and I've gotten a bit snobby about it, I think. But I think where I get with this is that the brand is supposed to be super luxe, or at least that's the way they want to present themselves. And with super luxe, my expectation of that label, is exquisite tailoring and perfect workmanship--and that to be primary focus, and more under the radar with branding, classic in general with the designs, function and form, practicality. To where if your customer is only buying ONE bag and ONE wallet and ONE cles and ONE iPhone case for the next, say, decade (as if anyone keeps an iPhone for a decade, but play along, my husband is one of these weirdos), you want that design and item to look as if it was just designed yesterday, timeless while being fresh and the color to be a neutral--so like Navy or Camel, or I guess, even Red or Black (so sick of red and black leather...), AND hold up as well and look just as good as it was just purchased. More of an all around custom-made "Armani Tuxedo" vibe, if that makes sense. But then they're coming out with screamy, obvious logos and clunky, obvious hardware and just...excess. And sure those phone cases are "fun" and "different," and no doubt will sell out instantly, but that's just not timeless, nor do they say super luxe. They scream Michael Kors to me, though I am sure they're of a much higher quality make.
*shrug* You do say it perfectly! "We all have different taste and we all appreciate different things."
