Americans are ostentatious people. You can package air in cute cases or some fancy pouch and market it as anti aging or some bs like that and they’ll buy it. In the beginning it’s all about marketing and marketing to the right demographic. Longevity depends on quality and sustained demand.

True. Also, lately I’ve been shopping lots of items for home and I see so many things in TJ Maxx and Target for much cheaper than Anthropologie, Cb2, Lulu…I bought this mirror from Anthropologie for $1600 then I went to TJ Maxx a few days later for eye pads and saw a similar mirror of the same quality for $300. Of course I swapped. There’s so much gouging in every industry.

Prices are too high to start. I saw some deals for 25-30% off and plenty stores with no deals. If you want me to buy something I don’t immediately need, try 50-60% off then we’ll be talking.
