^ Well, we're talking designers, so I think that lets Benetton out
PS Helmut Lang when he designed was the sh*t .. $100 jeans worth every penny back on the year
while i do concur that chanel has a lock on that heirloom and timelessness quality, their ready-to-wear and accessories find themselves priced way beyond many pieces that have those same qualities. st. john suits, for example, have all of those qualities at a fraction of the price. also, during the ladylike trend five years back, almost every single ready-to-wear house of worth did a more interesting version of the tweed jacket than chanel including versace, moschino, and anna sui for FAR less money than some of the real things....
You're right, but of course it will never be the same to wear tweed jackets than to wear THE Chanel tweed jackets. I think most of chanel's garments are worth every penny. Of course some of them are rubish and I wouldn't pay a cent, but most of what lagerfeld and his atelier do is absolutely worth my money lol... (of course not my money but my mother's or someone else xD)

Burberry isn't that expensive either, specially in line clothing or outerwear.
that was a time when you could still buy things for not that much ...PS Helmut Lang when he designed was the sh*t .. $100 jeans worth every penny back on the year
now everything is higher than in this time. i won't blame the € and put on the "natural evolution" .... but sometimes, i just wonder ........

If you buy David Yurman, you have something every second woman has
same could be said about rick owens leather, well maybe not every other woman but i see more women in ro leather jackets than yurman jewelry these days.
i just dont see how a $2900 leather jacket by anyone is a value? even if you wore it everyday for a year it would still cost about $8 a day for one jacket.
so...if value is defined as "how much a desired object is worth relative to other objects" a good value in a similar leather jacket would be around the same cost, but thats just not so. however, a good value would be the copy of the rick owens design made out of comparable leather...
