yea for the most part, really expensive clothing is well made, hence the price...its not rocket science.... its just too much money; like Ralph, give me a break man....I can see James Bond wearing this stuff..he aint wearing old navy thats for sure
oh i agree with that... and while i think its well made, nice fabrics and stuff... i think they are ******* up.
im thinking the exact opposite of "trying too hard" tho... not trying hard enough.
i just bought a pair of joggers from purple label... $177 on sale, from $395.
I checked the design, the fabric mix and the supplier #. they literally have the EXACT same pair of joggers, same material, same production facility, same EVERYTHING...
except they took the RL purple label logo off the zipper on the back, and they simplified the waste draw string... $98.
that **** pisses me off... it wasn't hand made in italy. it wasn't a special design. it was the worst of branding jobs to price the same item at $98 and $395, and that is the stuff that will kill a luxury brand like purple label.
that new red purple label coat they want $2K for... its the exact jacket but now in RED with new patches, as a rugby coat that was $500. at least in this case it was made in italy, which has a certain "prestige" premium... and the design was changed enough to sell the fashion angle... but they really need to be careful that they dont turn Purple Label into Cadillac Cimmarons, re-badge jobs that aren't the proper quality.
