Lower cost of a good is a generally good indicator that the good is low quality

Unfortunately the inverse is not true at all

Higher cost on a good is not at all a reliable indicator of whether or not the good is high quality

There is a pretty big incentive for producers and sellers to produce low quality goods and convince consumers they are high quality, so they can sell them for a high margin

This is unfortunately very common in clothing
