Once I've tried premium denim there's no way I'm going back. I am currently working on substituting all of my non-premium pairs. But I also try really hard to find them at good discount. I am yet to pay a full price for a pair of premium denim, though I did get tempted quite a few times. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-on-high-end-denim#post-14081 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 21:33:13 +0000 Angie 14081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>VERY interesting! And spot on, Shiny. </p> <p> I am in their camp. My wardrobe and our home is a mixture of everything - high end to low end merchandise. I have to this day not regretted one high price item I have bought (but have never thought about it that way). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-on-high-end-denim#post-14072 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 19:37:47 +0000 shiny 14072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There was an article in WSJ about how people who purchased luxury items (like expensive designer handbags) rarely experienced regret for doing so. They did, however, experience regret if they passed up the purchase!</p> <p>Although I suspect if you ended up with major credit card debt you would have regret... I think the article assumed you weren't going into debt making the purchase. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-on-high-end-denim#post-14068 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 18:52:40 +0000 Anonymous 14068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting considering the state of the economy these days! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-on-high-end-denim#post-14061 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 18:21:48 +0000 Antje 14061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very interesting article on high-end jeans. What was most interesting to me is not the fact that some designer jeans sell for over $1,000, but that jeans in the $200-300 range are going so strong. Excerpt:</p> <p>Though the high-end-jeans market made up only 3% of all the jeans sold in the first quarter of 2008, the market is growing at a double-digit pace, much faster than the market for less expensive jeans. Purchases of jeans costing $75 or more jumped 24% on a dollar basis from the same period last year, according to NPD Fashionworld's AccuPanel data. Purchases of jeans that cost less than $75 were up only 2%. </p> <p>I will be looking for a great pair of jeans for fall soon, and am still very much hoping to avoid paying more than $150 max. But judging from the many threads we've had on denim on this forum, a higher price for higher quality denim will pay off. Some rethinking is required there for me, considering I used to buy $50 Sohos in the past (but have become unhappy with excessive loosening even on the first day of wear.) Anyway, thought it was an interesting piece. </p>
