Most Overpriced Designer?

[rivegaucheface]

I don't have the prices yet (my guess is at least $4k, but $9k wouldn't surprise me ), but The Row launches handwoven blankets

The Row has made a surprise appearance at the 2025 edition of Milan Design Week, debuting a soft goods collection at the Palazzo Belgioioso in the Quadrilatero della Moda district. However, in true Olsen style, their presentation was intimate and pared-back, showcasing a collection of solid throws and bedding handcrafted from fine wool.

Boasting beige, tan, and deep black hues, a range of blankets is handwoven in India from the world’s finest cashmere. Elsewhere, a Quilted bedding set, also in cashmere, is meticulously hand-stitched with small squares. According to Vogue, the variety used in the collection is harvested from young goats, and weighs less than 14.5 microns. The only indication of the brand appears on a corner of the blankets, which boast miniature logos.

I wish outlets and/or their AI writers would use different words for different things. I don't think anyone could ever accuse The Row of 'boasting' about anything, let alone existing in three neutral colors.

I would also add Magda Butrym to the list of the most overpriced designers... great influencer marketing etc. but the prices are insane and dont match the quality whatsoever....

^At first it was an interesting brand, prices were always unglued from reality. The CEO previously worked in investment banks in London. They are aware that they never be stand out through shows, so they invest in online marketing.
