Anyone got 65k spare bucks for a 100% turkey feather coat from Vaccarello?

The fox red heart coat by Hedi for YSL was 14,000 €, obviously precious turkeys are much more expensive 8 years later .

I think it was clear that they have absolutely no interest in actually selling clothes, the production and the space they takes in stores are an annoyance and a cost to them.
They do clothes for marketing reasons - runways, red carpets, campaigns, fashion covers/ed - garments are used only to sell the bags, shoes and sunglasses they don't show on runways.

The tag is no way related to anything except MBA CEOs calculating revenues and margins per square meters.

Charli and Lorde wore this collection at the Sweat tour recently. I assume her version doesn’t tear as easily since she has to wear it many times. Charli is wearing a similar/same fur coat.

I remember saying in this thread that the prices of RTW are insane and I was shown some receipts on how YSL lowered the prices on some entry level kind of bags….

This is the reality.

In comparison, the Cashmere/Shearling coats from Celine are 12/13K.

At least we know this collection won’t make it to the outlet lol.

At least the feathers here are real. I still remember those acrylic "fur" coats from AW22 that were selling for 12k.

NO! I was already starting to save money to grab the turkey feather oversized Niki bag at the outlet next year!
Do you think it's gonna get 90% discount at Florence outlet mall? For 3k I might be getting on board with that...
Now watch Hermes hopping on the feather bandwagon and release feathered Birkins and Kellys for 200k to bored rich Singaporean ladies...

This is a misnomer, "marabou" here means turkey chicks feathers, not the African stork known as "marabout"/ "marabou" which was effectively used decades ago and is still used in Haute Couture. There are as commom as the feathers for duvets.
You can find similar turkey feather capes and coats for less than $500. And vintage YSL ones in at 3,000.

How and why is this jacket $24,000AUD ($16,000USD) ?? Is this really the price of a Chanel jacket these days?


CHANEL

looks about right, it was already more than 10k before pandemic.

Those were between 4,000 and 8,000 € 10 years ago. Chanel just progressively raised the prices by 500 twice a year. Pandemic or not, just because they can.
Cause honestly all the production and logistics issues are definitely over, the zipper (YKK, Riri) war is over.
