I fully agree: DIESEL Jeans are of an especially high quality. I have some, too. They were pretty expensive but totally worth the investment.

Since I never had many labeled stuff, I can't tell you if it was a waste of money. Probably it provided you with a certain confidence you wouldn't have had without the brands, so it was perhaps good for some reason. Also you shouldn't ever regret since you can't turn back time and at that point in time in the past you just thought it was the absolute right thing to do :-)

Thanks for stopping by and adding your thoughts, @cryptospa! It's been appreciated.
