meowmix said:i kinda have to agree with brian on the pricing thing...i just can't bring myself to buy a bag that, as far as i'm aware, originally was like $500 not too long ago....
meowmix said:i'm guessing the REAL reason is the popularity of not only python skins, but also the bag from the celeb exposure...i've never seen anything like this though...i mean, what if they priced chloe paddingtons like this for fw 05? pure greed...
they'll prolly give some bs like the skins are rare blah blah
MJCouture said:But Chloe paddingtons might as well be thrown out after a season, the quality is sub-par and they have no longevity whats so ever. I can understand the gripe about a markup, but I don't think it is a fair comparison. When I said that the price increase didn't bother me that much I meant when thinking about what you are getting. The large Kroells used to be cheaper than a medium sized python silverado, which is, while very nice, less-classic and not even 100% python. It just seems more fair for this bag to be more expensive to me, for what you are getting.
meowmix said:well you could compare the hefty markup to that of any IT bag right now...i was only making a comparison with an IT bag...that regardless of the quality, if they were going to use popularity as the only justification for such a ridiculous price increase then ANYONE could do that, regardless of the quality. my comparison was not of the quality but of the pricing strategy and i certainly wouldn't be one to disagree about the quality of the paddingtons if you've followed the thread on them
either way, we've gotten our response, thanks meeyowsa! i wonder if those who have seen the before and afters of these bags in person have noticed a marked change in quality...?

But, I do hope someday the price would go back down (is that possible?)
