They've also posted some luggage closer to 2K.


I have one of their Uptown Totes and it's been a great knock-around bag for the past year.

WOW....
I am speechless....

Wow, I've never been into J Crew before but I always thought they were about the same range as Banana Republic...this is crazy

 

[indi3r4]

too much $$$

 

[kimalee]

no way!!!

 

[jfhave]

I wonder who would buy this?

 

[aa12]

me too , I really thought that they kept in the same price range as Banana Republic. I wonder why these companies do that, I thought they were successful because of the way they priced their items...

 

[wordbox]

That's just crazy.

This has actually been a very successful marketing strategy for them. J. Crew has a small number of "exclusive" catalog items, including some bags made by Borge Garveri, a tannery/leather supplier that does work for higher end brands. Most of these items are sold out before anyone gets a chance to see them in a store or place an order....crazy idea, but it works!

It kind of looks like an Hermes wannabe to me...

that bag doesn't even look that great...

The bag is not even memorable for that kind of money. Nor would I ever want to say "Oh yes, this is J. Crew -- only $1200!"
