Is this pricetag really low end?
Weekend Buzz: was
Michelle Obama in London wearing an ensemble from J. Crew. Blog spotlights helped to make the skirt and cardigan sell out from stores and online, and once again, talk is that our First Lady mixes “low-end” pieces with designers and higher prices.
Pursed Lips's viewpoint:
J. Crew, with sweaters at $300, is not "low" end. We'll give it "mid" end, but aren't these COACH et al prices? J. Crew is one of those very quality brands with pricetags that reflect that "nameless", "status"- and "glamour"- image. It's what pricing should be - on its merits.
Therefore it is sort of like "as good" as designer, but without the same flash and cost. However I remember it was a big deal for me to purchase very nice earmuffs, after saving and when almost sold out, before the recession. We're not sure why our near-depression hasn't changed society's view on price points. We'd say Wal-Mart is low end, and would allow J. Crew to be mid-range.
