I've never owned any designer pieces so I can't vouch for quality but the 3 that Scott listed are the first ones that came to mind. Especially Marc Jacobs. Don't get me wrong, I find a lot of the stuff looks cute but I nearly fell out of my chair when I found out how much it costs.

Calvin Klein is one of the most overpriced designer according to me & of course Jil Sander, MaxMara & other labels whose products are simply fabricated.
Chanel- I agree with Alejandro on how a tweed suit cost nearly $6000. Sorry for $6000 dollars you know how much stuff you can put into your closets including accessories or how many charity you can help. Although some of their stuff is nice but just not worth the $$$$$$$$$.
Fendi- Sorry but I just don't find anything special about it.
Dooney and Burke- Well not that expensive but overpriced for some of the crap they put out.
Oh and Tommy Hilfiger for the fact that he has little children in sweatshops in south america making his t-shirts for only pennies and selling it for $100.

but the quality of the clothing is superb!Originally posted by Alejandro@Jun 25th, 2004 - 1:14 pm
Dior is so overpriced, really, super overpriced
this is a thread about designers who overcharge for crappy quality things, remember
...dior does this once in a while with the accessories, though, like crappy plastic bracelets and necklaces and crap for like $100 and up!
and don't forget those stupid Golf sweatbands for over $60!
also the fall 2004 runway shoes.....the creepers.....are completely ludicrously priced. i mean, i can understand the crocodile ones being $2000- manolo blahnik charges that (and then some) for his crocodile pumps, even... but the pair that i want is CANVAS and rubber, with a pricetag of $1200! YEESH!
it's all personal preference though. cos i know if i had the money i would definitely buy all of the pairs of these shoes that i want

+ John Galliano is the same story as Dior, albeit his line is even MORE outrageously priced, but the pieces are wonderful quality. All of his pieces are gorgeously crafted out of wonderful fabrics and it's luxe luxe luxxxxxxxxxe though, so it's justified......in a sense!Originally posted by ebowleg@Jun 25th, 2004 - 2:19 pm
4) John Galliano
5) Anything Couture
+ Same with haute couture!
Except haute couture is completely (or as much as possible) done by hand, which is tedius and extremely labor-intensive... etc etc
Personally I think Dior is very stupidly overpriced. I don't know much about the quality, but most of the stuff is so horribly tacky that it just can't be worth the high prices. The shoes and bags are actually not badly priced, but the clothing is ridiculous. I don't care what type of cotton was used on this (see below) top, it is still a 100% cotton sleevless polo, done in a tacky motif, and it is soo not worth $500.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a pretty big label wh*re, but Dior's stuff is just so blah, there is nothing to it, the house has basically turned into an upscale casual wear company, churning out over priced tee shirts and tacky skirts and trousers.

um, have you even ever been to a dior boutique?
dior is hardly a label of total casual wear, and the boutiques are not filled to the brims at all with t-shirts and pants.
there's so much more to it than that, honestly, but the more casual crap is what sells on eluxury!

I mean .. it depends ... some brands that are uber-expensive can be found at cheap prices/sale on some oportunities, if you guys are like me ... if you fall for a piece, the price tag won't matter, as long as you get it (and it's quality, duh!)!
Hum ... Chanel is a bit overpriced, but it's nice quality ... same with Helmut Lang, and there are times when stuff from Hermes makes me go
I dunno .. everything comes to be a smart shopper and compare and investigate!

[/b][/quote]Actually my apartment is about five minutes from a Dior store, I pass it almost everyday when I am in New York, and do go in frequently. I may have overstated when I said it has turned into a casual line, but in my opinion a whole bunch of the stuff's only claim to anything is the fact that it has the word "Dior" written on it in some tacky way. I own several items (all accesories) that I love from Dior, but I am just not sold on most of the label.
I'd say Dior.
actually I don't think the Dior pieces I own are overpriced because of their great quality/cutting...etc. however, I find the prices of LOTS Dior items insane, just way overpriced considering what you are getting

Dior Homme - tell my why exactly I would want to buy a Dior Homme suit for £2000 when I can get bespoke from Savile Row for £2700...insane - good design shouldn't cost that much...

I hate how just because something's designer it's hundreds of dollars more than something not designer! For instance at a Chanel boutique the other day there were pony tail holders that looked completely normal, cheap plastic, something you could probably get at a Macy's, Wal-Mart, any department or even discount store! But since in one corner of the plastic cube on the holder it had a tiny Chanel logo- somewhere in the range of $175!!! absolutely ridiculous!
