  • It doesn’t make sense to try to sell a quality product when the demand is based on a fad.

    Trendy = bad for the consumer as a principle but it’s not as if we have time to constantly second guess everything (without going crazy).

    Birkenstock, DocMartens, Red Wing, Church’s Kitchenaid, every “luxury” brand you can think of and most products listed on BIFL threads… (Also crocs but I feel they sell at such a low price point to begin with that it doesn’t warrant cheaping out. Fake crocs are cheaper and just as durable though.)

    All these brands get ultra-popular because one product goes viral which they start producing cheaply and use to grow their business and later, if succesful bring out a “heritage”, “pro” or “classic” line for a higher price than the model was going for originally.
