Price problems with Missoni?

[Jadex-37]

I love Missoni, but the prices are horrendous for what they make. Does anyone agree?

I mean, paying 1000 dollars for a knitted sweater? Isn't it a bit too much?

It is what it is. Like any other designer.

All luxury brands have huge margins. The price tag never reflects the tangible value of the item. It’s a given.

Honestly in the world of 1000 dollar tshirts and 2000 dollar pyjama tops, a knit sweater for a 1000 feels like a bargain.

At least they still have some level of hand craftsmanship involved in their clothes which can’t be said for many others.

Not really.... I’ve paid that for Ralph Lauren Purple Label sweaters... I just wish they’d make plus or extended sizes so I can don’t have to shop in the men’s section...

I used to love buying their scarves, but once they changed most of them from 100% wool to acrylic mix, I lost interest, which is such a shame.

I have a couple Missoni pieces which I think are nice but not worth the (retail) price. Kinda got turned off from the brand when I saw a dress I liked and it was mostly viscose and acrylic. I feel like Emilio Pucci does this with a lot of their dresses, too.

I bought a Pucci last year and found it to be a 50/50 silk/viscose mix but could't resist the print...another story. At least there seems to be correlation between the pure silk and the mix pieces in terms of price. As things go I don't mind viscose in the mix too much as I can wash by hand and the fabric stays very soft and slinky.

I used to love Missoni but most of the stuff is overpriced for what it is, now just enjoy Missoni Mare pieces because I think some of the colours look lovely in the sun.

I bought three pairs of socks and a scarf from them and they are very fragile. Can rip very easily. I wouldn't buy anything from them again unless it was at a discount.
