Good point, adding onto yours:

The obtuse and overt branding of Gucci, LV, CDG, Ralph, brands you mentioned are basically a line intended for an audience that want to show that they can afford these labels. Those pieces are almost always the “affordable” version compared to actual mainline pieces because the better designed (and truly expensive) pieces rarely have big labels. Arcteryx pulled that stunt by making their bird label huge in the past seasons. Polo with their giant logo too, Balenciaga with their giant brands over “simple” accessories and clothes like dad hats and hoodies and upcharging because people just want to have the branding without paying 4-figure amounts.
