The same is true in India. I live in the US, and when I visit relatives in India, they are nonplussed that I can afford a fancier car but choose to drive a Toyota. Clothes, watches, my phone brand - everything is under constant analysis and people feel free to comment on everything. I am used to it now but it gets tiring.

Was going to say this. Am in the US, and have Indian friends, and they are much more brand conscious than the average American.
Living in Canada, I specially choose clothes without branding or branding I can remove.

I don't advertise for free.

Yeah, that's been my strategy since… college.

Nike logo? Polo logo?

Not a chance.

No-logo clothes are actually the ultimate flex now...
That's fine, ha ha. I kind of hate corporations.
Try my best to do the same:)
