I wear a lot of Diesel. My favorite of their new lineup is Kuratt.
One of the reason Diesel (and other high-end designer clothing) costs more is the fact that it isn't made in a sweatshop in some P.O.S. third-world country.

Who told you that?
You can take any object and increase the price of it and call it designer. The prestige that people will associate it with it will carry it for you if you can get the right press/advertising for it. Has nothing to do with production cost in manufacturing. Would you be suprised to know that most things that are manufactured are done on a wide range by a singular company with minor differances in each product. Those items are then sold in lots to differant companies who then put their logos on them and sell. This means that your designer clothes could be coming from the same place as some not so designer clothes but are cut a little differant so that they can be copywritten. The same goes with the gas in your car, all comes from the same few sources, it is then just tanked over to a plant, they add their little additives and then tank it over to their stations. The idea behind a real world business is to have things made as cheaply and quickly as possible while seeming to produce them in house, works like a charm.
