May Catholics Buy Designer Clothing?

Question:

May Catholics buy designer clothing?

Answer:

Of course. All clothes have a designer. Some are anonymous, others are famous. This being said, it is always good to make sure that if we are purchasing luxury items for ourselves or others, we do not forget to purchase blessings for ourselves by being proportionately generous to the poor and those in grave need, who often walk the streets of our cities with no place to live. Some designers are actually involved in works of charity themselves, and so you might find out which ones and patronize them if their products match your tastes.
