Paying for brandname rather than quality?

Logical thinking :

Especially in fashion and style... A fashion brandname with big advertising campaigns making it's product looks more familiar and associating it to a higher class social hierarchy. As a result those who wants to feel associated in high class society would have to spend absurd amount of money (sometimes exceed 10x for a same or even better quality product) without feeling guilty of having the extra money that would otherwise being saved which would be better spend for charity and the needies.

In Islamic perspective 1st you are exposing yourself to the feeling of Takabbur (Riak) and if you did not pay your Zakat that’s another thing for you to worry in the afterlife.
