I think the fabrics are likely a higher quality, and they're just made better in general. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-designer-clothes-made-better#post-337848 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 09:18:59 +0000 Alivoo01 337848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it depends on the company, but generally, yes. I find a big difference between Banana Republic and their factory stores. I'm a huge fan of their factory stores, but if there's a big sale at their regular store, I prefer to purchase from there. The warmth and quality of the cardigans are a great example in quality difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-designer-clothes-made-better#post-337737 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 08:32:39 +0000 mrsjyw 337737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most definitely! (Depends on the designer tho!) Better quality, longer-lasting, custom fit, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-designer-clothes-made-better#post-337736 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 08:32:21 +0000 blackbird 337736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I find they don't pill in the wash, they look new after numerous washings, they fit better, and are made of a more luxurious fabric. I find that cheaper clothes tend to sag and lose their shape very quickly. I like them for a couple months, then they just don't look nice anymore. Especially jeans! I hang dry all of my clothes, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-designer-clothes-made-better#post-337732 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 08:31:34 +0000 chopsuey 337732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes yes yes.<br /> Definitely better quality, they last longer and fit better imo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-designer-clothes-made-better#post-337725 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 08:29:31 +0000 glimmersnaps 337725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I've never really had any designer clothes. I usually buy clothes from Target, Old Navy or JCP. I take really good care of my clothes (wash on gentle and hang dry), but I notice that after a few months of wear they start to look old. </p> <p>I'm wondering if you've found the more expensive clothes to actually be higher-quality? Do they last longer? Do they fit better? </p>
