It's documented many other places on this forum that the brand that commissions the work develops the specs. Sometimes those are tighter / higher quality than the maker's private label, and sometimes they looser / lower quality.
At this level, price is not a perfect representative of quality. Brioni is probably making a higher number of the same exact model, which leads to economies of scale, etc. But the question is really, when you look at the shoe, is it worth the money they are charging to you ?
Lattanzi for Jil Sander that I have seen were very well made with nice materials. But still too hard to valuate at those prices.
