Is it true that as one ages, the desire to buy branded goods decreases?

Any in white? My favourite colour to match my PAP attire.

Hi, This is Don, the designer of the shoe!

I'm afraid we don't have any in white!

Unique and nuance colors are our specialty!

 

[donleow]

wow very nice shoes. But at almost $400 a pair, quite expensive leh.

Thanks for the kind words bro!

Yes, our shoes are in the mid range pricing, mainly due to the materials and craftsmanship involved.

They are all hand crafted and painted by our head shoe artisan, Thai Hong Nha!

He is a very talented artisan! One of the best patina artist i've met.

I had great emotional attachment with that car. Been through thick and thin with me for 10 years.

Subaru Legacy is the 卧虎藏龙 kind of car. Mundane on the outside but monster on the inside. Won't attract a lot of attention either.

Yep, wolf in sheep's clothing!

For peasant like me, i go for cheaper better faster. Luxury items are out of my league, affordable & durable is the key. Most of my stuff has at least a decade long history of track record.

Hi Don, I am sure you can make them in white. Perhaps old English white? You have two ready buyers here!

I know of a chicken rice seller at Bukit Timah kopitiam driving that thing.
For a NA engine, it can pump out 250Bhp which is very impressive. Some more it's a RWD.

I have 3.5 litre MarkX Premium RWD. It's the best car I have ever owned and is a dream to drive. Cost only $NZ18,000 with 75,000km on the clock. It has now done 135,000km and has not missed a beat.

There are loads of them coming from Japan but you need to hunt down the good ones that don't stink of cigarettes.

You buy branded because the design is good. The quality is good. The make is good.The bag can hold certain values.

omg... I love those good morning towels...

What is that towel?

 

[cloudy]

That is because as you get older, the need to impress others will diminish.

Really? I see all the tai tai friends otherwise.

That's true. However, there are exceptions. An LV bag quality is not as good as a Coach bag in terms of durability.

 

[shittypore]

At the age you mention, and using branded stuff it means money is not an issue.

 

[blackmondy]

Really? I see all the tai tai friends otherwise.

These old Tai Tai's are vain creatures and love comparing. Older men are more rational.
There will always be a different mindset when you are dealing with a gender that has two heads and a gender that has two mouths.
Two heads will always think more while two mouths will always talk more.

haha! Sure!

we can do a more "custom color" order with our hand painted white (might take slightly longer to design the color)

Or in our original "crust" leather which is white in color already.

We got 3 minimalist designs available!

Wholecut Oxfords, Wholecut Single Monkstraps (the one you see in the picture) & Wholecut Horsebit Loafers

Hi! Thank you for your nice words!

This is Don, the designer of this shoe! This is my first ready to wear, Patina shoe collection!

Yep, branded shoes nowadays tend to skew quite high in price for the quality they give!

I think what OP is referring to when he meant branded is the "luxury" or "designer" brands.

In context to shoes, brands like "Prada" or "Ferragamo" are considered "designer luxury" brands.

While in terms of "objective quality" like materials and construction, you can most definitely get better bang for your buck but i guess when it comes to shopping, a lot of it is emotional also?

So i guess that's why people buy them?

For certain reason I loved bespoke leather stuff which I cannot explained, saw your adv on facebook sometime back. It caught my eyes then keep thinking about it.

However I realise the design of the shoes are not too wide feet friendly, do you guys takes into consideration of it? I need something I can wear daily to work, and most of the time I can only sticked to certain shoes cutting/design otherwise my legs will be damn painful like hell.
