Most Overpriced Designer?

[Lola701]

^^
I know that their very good clients are able to have their items being shipped to them. And when i say clients, i mean RTW and all, not just bags.

I've been told that they really don't have plans to sell thing online but that since they have included prices on their previous websites, clients came more prepared and willing to pay for products. And also some clients complained about having to call for the most expensive pieces.

For a lot o brands, there's a big desire for clients to buy the most exclusive pieces. But i guess it has to do with showing off.

I can't believe no one posted the Chanel Hat's!

Pvc & Grosgrain
$1,150.00

They're so light that the models couldn't even keep them on their heads when they walked.

All the transparent PVC part of the collection needs to included here.
They have done transparent PVC well before but this time, it's totally ridiculous.

Plus PVC is not a durable material...

this is actually very good point, very thoughtful, but Chanel is always famous for being exclusive and mysterious, and clients love that. Listing all the prices like now makes the house less special IMO.

I saw a woman in soho wearing that hat yesterday. Lol

Pvc has the tendency to turn yellow and discolored really easily

 

[chanelh]

well, clearly these are not issues with the rich, they just simply want to be recognizable by following the trend

the ladies may even think it's so chic to pull the hat down while walking, exactly like the models on runway

Quite true, plus it's petroleum based. I will not be buying any of these

Whats the point of even making a coat like that? It will never sell.

Really, the price is exaggerated!! But, you might be more surprise that it really does sell!

Christian Dior Book Tote Bag in Embroidered Dior Oblique Canvas - £1,750!

Always wondered how much this was priced at and just came across it on Dior's website - and I'm shocked. Yeah... quality might be nice, might be nice to look at but everyone and their cat's mother carries their groceries in this style of bag around here (not sure about the rest of the world). You can buy one from Marks and Spencer for £3! Unbelievable.

If I'm not mistaken, part of the price involves the customisation process of embroidering the bag with your name - because the item is 'in-store only'.

Actually I think it’s priced “reasonable”, given how that’s other houses are pricing their bags these days.

The recent logo Celine bags are at these price points, and it looks even less sophisticated, or also from Celine, the see thru vinyl one.

Reminds me of that Anya Hindmarch ‘I am not a plastic bag’ from Sainsbury’s whose price skyrocketed at eBay many years ago. Irony, but hype makes people buy into it, this Dior should be easier to sell in comparison.

They obviously didn't pay for the bag and the tote is very spacious and useful. Though I wouldn't buy it. I haven't seen a regular person wearing it. Mostly are influencers and celebs.
