Hebrew term or phrase: the meaning of פרדה in the phrase התלבשה פרדה ומותגים
"She always dressed פרדה and labels, and takes taxis, and looks like she has a lot of money." This is a description of a woman given in testimony and I have no idea how to translate this into English. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Thanks, this really never occurred to me! I always have trouble recognizing the non-Hebrew words when written in Hebrew. This was very helpful.
