designer brands
High-end fashion names
Designer brands are clothing, accessories, or other products bearing the name of a prominent fashion designer or luxury company—Gucci, Chanel, Louis Vuitton.
The term emphasizes prestige and high price over function: She only wears designer brands.
Designer-brand items signal wealth or taste, though knockoffs blur the distinction.
Often shortened to just designer: Is that bag designer?
