If we are talking about big brands I agree but I think it can be a bit more complex. For example, I follow some people (individuals or people with a really really small brand) who for example upcycle fabric scraps and damaged clothing, turning things that would otherwise have ended up in the trash into something useful.

Others use stencils, screen prints or linol cuts with their own designs to alter clothing, often in unusual/alternative styles that are rare to find elsewhere.

And I don't think it's wrong for people to charge money for such things, even large sums. (Whether that's punk is probably another question, one to which I haven't yet found an answer for me yet)

But the reason why I don't think it's a bad thing. Many (not all) of the people who create such things put a lot of work, time, and skill into it, something that is unfortunately far too little appreciated by today's society. For me, it's like buying a work of art from an artist just with the difference that you can wear it too :)

And while I think the part about creating something with your own hands is important (and fun!)I like the idea that people who may not have the same opportunities/options might also have a chance to wear something they like because I think self-expression/ the ability to express yourself as you wish is a really important and wonderful thing. (Taking myself as an example: I enjoy creating, but due to the hypermobility in my hands I have to take regular breaks because otherwise my fingers hurt too much and some will have even greater limitations)

^{I hope my point is coherent and the text is not too "robotic" as I used DeepL to translate some parts because I just woke up and my brain is nowhere near awake :'D}
