debemus Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 people who fashion fake brands just want to make it appear they are big, but the truth is they got nothing. for people who wears orig, 4k+ for a polo shirt -di practical, unless ikaw si lucio tan. Quote Link to comment
thrall Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 May mga friends ako na may mga kaya at talagang may kaya napansin ko pinapambahay nila lacoste t shirt nila and never namin naging topic sa kwentuhan ung lacoste shirts nila. Mas napaguusapan pa kung san nakakbili ng ok at mura na sandals in the case pag kakwentuhan mo mga babae. Pag mga lalake naman yun mga ok na damit na hindi mahal. Where in ung mga friends ko na tama lang tipong salary monthly 20k or less pag damit ang usapan,puro lacoste o any mamahalin brand ang gusto. LABO Quote Link to comment

revi Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 thats funny coz people who wear the real stuff make it as if they are big but are probably just smaller in life among the people who have nothing...<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not all people who wear the original stuff want to appear big.. its just that they want to buy good quality clothes.. being branded is just a plus.. But I know some people who buy Lacoste shirts to appear big but they have nothing and after buying a Lacoste.. wala na silang pera and won't pay their credit card bills.. These folks are stupid.. Therefore, wearing an original Lacoste shirt will make you appear that you can afford it.. but it won't make you appear that you are better than the other person wearing a Lee Pipes fake T.. We can't judge people in what they wear.. First impression lang.. Arrive ika nga.. I do like Lacoste shirts but its not because I wanna appear big or appear I am somebody.. Its the quality I am after.. After almost 10 years.. a lot of my Lacoste polo shirts are still alive and kicking.. my dad and I alternate in wearing them.. see.. pwede pa sa matanda at bata.. breaks time barriers, durable and its a known brand.. which is a plus.. di ba? Yung mga Giordano ko 10 years ago.. hindi na pwede dahil nangupas na eh.. Not that I am runing Giordano's rep.. but its the truth.. Quote Link to comment

Yung mga Giordano ko 10 years ago.. hindi na pwede dahil nangupas na eh.. Not that I am runing Giordano's rep.. but its the truth..<{POST_SNAPBACK}> thats true in a more extended view of my point haha, but i dunno if there is really a big difference in expensive clothes to cheaper clothing. I own a few pairs of Diesel jeans they cost me about $500 (in australia, just noticed they are about $300 in phils) but my everyday wear jeans that cost $80 last much longer than one of my pair of Diesels that i might just wear a few times a year! I agree knock-offs esp very very poor ones tend to break easy and stretch. what i was trying to get in my original point was that there are many people here who tend to buy more expensive clothing not because of the quality of the clothes but because of the name tag and love to show off. I can assure expensive clothing does not mean quality clothes. I have gone through too many FCUK shirts expanding and breaking than a fake Jag i got three years ago at a Bohol market for my night wear haha its still alive and kicking!!! btw i was looking for some nice Lacoste sweaters like jumpers but didnt seem to find any. There shoes rock, but i didnt get too see much loafers there more sneakers. Edited January 20, 2006 by luol_deng Quote Link to comment
edc Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Lacoste is purely Status Symbol. Dito sa phils nakakasira pa kasi makikita mo mga nagsusuot mga politicians. Eh karamihan politicians dito hindi marunong pumorma. Pano pag tinanggal yung logo na reptile sa harap pero original na lacoste pa din as in gawa pa rin sya ng lacoste.......................... .............Magsusuot and Magcocollection pa kaya mga tao nyan? baka pag ganun ang case mababawasan ng 95-98% ang biibli ng lacoste.

storm Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Mukhang nagiging OT na ibang post. Dapat doon na sa kabilang thread -- fake designer... ni Pareng Pinoy. I like the new style ng lacoste na fit and long back. I need lang nga to work-out kasi when I wear my shirt ay bumabakat yung panderosa instead of pandesal. Sarap kasing kainan noong extended holidays. Kaya I wear more of the sport and classic para hindi gaanong halata ang tummy. :cool: Quote Link to comment

In 1933, Lacoste tied up with one of the biggest French knitwear manufacturer and the rest is history.... Quote Link to comment
hitomi Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 i like the brand but hate the price a plain shirt with a tiny alligator should not cost that much hehehe Quote Link to comment
edc Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 (edited) i like the brand but hate the price a plain shirt with a tiny alligator should not cost that much hehehe<{POST_SNAPBACK}> yan ang status symbol. Pero kung may purpose yung lacoste like pag sinuot mo at pinawisan ka hindi babakat or pag nag spill yung ink ng ballpen hindi didikit sa fabric. ok bilhin nyan. kung may technology lang yung lacoste pde. Parang nike mahal pero may technology so hindi status symbol. Pero kung angas lang lacoste, mukha ko na lng gagamitin ko. Edited January 21, 2006 by edc Quote Link to comment

acidboy Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 aspirational buying ang tawag sa mga taong bumibili ng isang item dahil sa "prestige" ng brand nila. daming ganyan dito sa pinas. makikita mo naman sa suot nila eh- example kung lacoste ang suot nila oversized naman o kaya binibili yung gold na emblem kahit di nila alam bakit masmahal siya. pero meron naman iba diyan bumibili nga kasi ang lacoste, like it or not, ay maganda ang quality. imho- masmaganda nga quality nila kaysa polo ralph lauren eh. kahit minority lang ang ganito mag-isip sa atin, meron pa rin.

miss_b Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 in my own opinion, its not advisable to buy fake lacoste stuffs kasi nga yung quality ang binibili mo dun sa original thats why it is so expensive. bibili ka nga ng fake pero ang dali naman malaspag, mas waste of money yun coz even fake lacoste shirts eh mahal, say 1thou? may mabibili k ng mas maayos na shirt nun d b?opinion ko lang po yun.
