Honestly the emphasis on "high quality" is a form of consumerism. You want your stuff functional before you focus on quality.
This ratty tshirt? Functional. Not high quality. Good for sports, painting, cleaning.
This can opener? I almost sliced my hand open using it. Not functional or high quality.
This repurposed Pickle jar? Functional. Not high quality. I don't need to toss it just to buy a new empty Mason jar.
You don't need to replace everything with higher quality.

functionality is important, but i have a question. is consumerism buying things that make you feel better and last longer? i i get minimalism is being happier with less but if nicer things make me feel nicer is less of them still considered consumerism? that was kind of my original question
