They're mostly undeserved markup but they don't even cost enough to be truly snobby with all of that

I love when you're reading fiction and someone is supposed to be doing something with genuine snobbery and the author earnestly but erroneously thinks they know what the snobby brand or product or whatever is, but they're completely wrong and they've actually named a kind of crappy middle class pretender.

Like Moleskine, which are overpriced crap notebooks with shockingly bad paper.

Lollll my bff and I used to chuckle all the time about Hannibal’s thousand-dollar suit.

Oh yeah, ouch. I had forgotten about that!

I got a pile of $2 Moleskines made when the paper was still good, and when I went through them all and paid full price for a new one, it had worse paper than a Mead composition book.

Ahh, Mead nostalgia...
