Somehow or another I got on this company&#x27;s email list even though I don&#x27;t own any of their stuff. I stay subscribed and skim the emails because they are really well written and demonstrate great enthusiasm for the product. Really top notch marketing. And a lot of the products look and sound really great.<p>But they are invariably eye wateringly expensive even after taking into account that I expect them to be expensive. I don&#x27;t know what kind of income I&#x27;d need to be making before I felt comfortable spending $395 on a hoodie, $225 on a tote bag, or $225 for sweatpants but I&#x27;m not there.
