If you try to disguise a cheap thing as an expensive, luxury item, it looks more cheaper than its original value.

Its called makeup...

people actually can't tell the difference

the price tag acts as a psy-op and they think the price indicates its quality. only a minority of people even notice it's a scam. blame enshittification of products on their lack of critical thinking / lack of curiosity

Look up wine reviews and shit like Gucci. If you want a true luxury item, it will be bespoke and made specifically for you.
