My first pair of Comey boots cost $330, this season, its $420 on Saks. The same APC boots that sold for $500 last season is $530 this season. I understand the the cost of raw goods are going up, so I don't really faul them for the price increase. But... <br /><br />I don't know what this "lush fabric" use that RC is talking about, because I've also noticed that a lot of her clothing is now made using polyester. So unless polyester satin is the new silk charmeuse, it's aggravating to think that even in this economic situation, designers think they should be able to peddle cheap plastic material as upmarket. *GROWL*Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08733878051719246087noreply@blogger.com
