Jossie is texting on her phone. But shes embarrassed. Why? Because her phone is old and unfashionable and all of her friends have the latest BlackBerrys. The magazine CLUB investigates the power of brands in Britain. Here is their interview to 16 year old, Hannah.

CLUB: Which brands do you and your friends value and why? Hannah: Apple, BlackBerry, Topshop, Pandora and Hollister. These are all the good quality and well-known brands. Apple and BlackBerry smartphones have upto-date technology and are seen as in brands as they are stylish and fashionable. CLUB: What brands would you most like to have but cant afford? Hannah: I would love to be able to afford an Apple MacBook, but they are too expensive. Also, I would love to be able to always buy expensive make-up but instead I only buy one product every so often. CLUB: How do you feel if your friends have a brand but you dont? Hannah: When I was thirteen, my friend got a pair of UGG boots for her birthday. It was only a month before my birthday, so I begged and begged my parents for a pair, but they said they were too expensive. Now that I am older, I can see that they were right. And because everyone has a pair now, they dont seem as special. CLUB: Do you have any experience of brand bullying? Hannah: Yes, sometimes. When I was starting secondary school, a lot of older girls wore very expensive branded labels, and if you didnt wear these brands, then they made fun of you for having non-branded clothes. CLUB: Do you ever pressure your parents to buy you something even there is a cheaper and nice item available? Hannah: Yes, but only rarely. I buy most of my clothes out of my own money that I earn doing part-time jobs. But if Im shopping with my mum, I will beg her to get me one or two items. CLUB: Do you think having branded goods raise your social status? How? Hannah: Unfortunately, I think it does. If you see someone in head-to-toe designer clothes, then you automatically rank them as quite high in social status and quite rich.
