Of course, expensive baby clothes are in demand. True, they are bought by those who can afford it - people with a stable income above the average level. But the reasons why they prefer to pay dearly are different.
Quality
Some people, not without reason, believe that a quality item cannot be cheap, and prefer to pay a high price for the sake of purchasing clothes that do not deform, shed or crumble after the first wash; toys that the child can play with without the risk of breaking them or getting hurt; strollers, in which the baby will be comfortable for sure. “Expensive means high quality” - such people think.
Environmental friendliness
Another reason to pay more is to buy environmentally friendly products made from natural materials for your child. Such parents think, first of all, about the health of their child.
Quite often the prices for eco-products are artificially high.
Indeed, after the information pouring down from the media about poisoning with dyes applied to cheap toys; diseases caused by cheap synthetic fabrics, caring mothers and fathers prefer to overpay rather than risk the health of their child. And eco-clothes, eco-toys and other products that meet increased environmental safety requirements are much more expensive. “Children's world must be safe” - supporters of a healthy lifestyle are convinced, and this desire generates a demand for expensive but environmentally friendly products.
Durability
Other parents believe that expensive items will last longer than cheap items and can be used by younger children. Thus, buying more expensive "equipment" for their first child, they save on the purchase of things for the second, and possibly the third child.
But even if there is only one heir in the family, there is a significant difference whether he carries his clothes at least during the season, or in a couple of weeks he will have to buy a replacement. Children's clothing should be comfortable and reliable in their opinion. “We are not rich enough to buy cheap things” is the motto of these parents.
Prestige
Of course, there are also those parents who, due to their social and financial status, simply cannot afford to dress their child in cheap consumer goods. This is a matter of status, prestige, and often career.
Such parents prefer to buy things of famous brands, designer outfits for their children. They simply have to do it: it is impossible to imagine the son of the owner of a respectable large company or the daughter of a popular "star" appearing in public in a Chinese or Turkish suit bought on the market.
In fact, such attempts to live beyond their means look pitiful and ridiculous.
Although this category also includes people who, due to their status, can quite afford to dress more modestly, but stubbornly do not want to do it. It seems to them that expensive things, including those acquired by them for a child, will bring them closer to the "powerful of this world", will separate "average people" from the gray society. The motivation of such parents, who are ready to spend all their monthly income on another suit for their beloved child, is not too clear.
