You may know what you are talking about for your generation and location and class (or you may not) but LOTS of Asians are VERY conscious about brand names, especially young people in Japan, Korea and China. Some of the older Chinese may indeed be very frugal, as the older generation Japanese are, the result of living through hard times, social upheavals etc- but the younger generations who are rebelling against the caution of the older generations are not likely to be so frugal- until they are crushed by new social and economic turmoils (much like the generation that lived through the US depression gave rise to...what we have now).
