Most Overpriced Designer?

[Crying Diamonds]

^ Okay that's one of the worst ones I've seen - that's just a basic blouse with a few very minor details (the design of which can be found in H&M).
Unless those snap-studs are 22ct gold the cost price for it can't be over £20.

^ i think they're selling it that expensive just because it's Balmain !

the pic was so small it messed up the stripes on my screen, so at first I thought it was moire and I was gonna say maybe that was what made it special, but it's definitely not the case HAHAHA

I can actually justify the Louis Vuitton pricing of that specific dress, with it being Ostrich Feathers and the process it'd have to go through with dying and the application of the Feathers, but the Céline look on the other hand... absolutely ridiculous! how on earth is that priced so highly ? and how can Céline and LVMH justify it ?!

I had to see HQ's of that Celine look and it turns out that both the skirt and top are made of leather. I suppose that's the reason for the high pricing?

^I think that is understandable now, with it being made from Leather, i guess there's more craftsmanship in that outfit than that of a bag, for instance.

 

[Littleathquakes]

definitely understandable, I wouldn't believe it if i was told that that was all leather. but the leather must've been worked very carefully to achieve that fabric look.

I know it's made of Crocodile, but I was in shock when I saw the price.

OMG

An LV dress is nothing but a glorified Marc Jacobs dress with a few feathers on it, and they want to charge $100,000 more for it!?!? Get outta here........I'm sure someone will buy it.

Hermes Crocodile jackets are even more expensive. And remember, they pay at least 1000€ for 50cm of crocodile.

 

[KemAlnagdy]

omg !! i wonder who would pay 176000 in a jacket to be worn 2 or 3 times !!!

 

[Littleathquakes]

very wealthy people

This skirt is the only one made in the world, made from Leather and Feathers applied by Lemarié and was sold exclusively at the Champs Elysees flagship store, I'm unsure on the price but one can only assume that the price is excessive.

I think I remember a mens coat in the 150000€ range. But its notable that the LV one is a lot longer than the jacket you posted. It's a great piece but ... arent people scared of it getting dirty and stuff?
