You save shitloads of money and the girls find your pants sexy. DOUBLE WIN
Wait, what?
You buy them at Thanksgiving for 40-60% off, or at black friday for 70-90% off?
Thanksgiving is Thursday. Black Friday is, Friday. The next day. What (and thanksgiving gets the caps)? Huh?

Why are you nit-picking his post. The point is to buy during sales do you really need to point out something so tedious as that.
On topic - I like true religion and diesel jeans the best. Monarchy also is a good brand for jeans as well. I go to outlet malls to buy jeans though because like mr hoon stated the regular prices are quite ridiculous. You can always find good deals at the outlets no matter what time of year it is.

You know, there are different countries that celebrate Thanksgiving on different days than America right...? Maybe he was talking about Canada/UK? Have you thought about other plausible situations before assuming other people are idiots?

It's not tax if the money filters right back to the people who own the fashion industry, which I assure you are not the working class. The actual workers in the fashion industry are paid below minimum wage in developing countries. The models get a cut of the money, which they then hand over to drug dealers and sleaze boyfriends/agents.
The more important point is for them to be able to keep the manufacturing factory operating within their own respective countries. While most of the low to mid class fashion brands have re-loacted their manufacturing factory over to China long time ago, luxury brands such as Versace, Louis Vuiton and Chanel etc still produce locally in Italy and France etc. This is only possible because they charge a shit load of money for premium. In the face of the economic crisis, there is always a news of factory workers losing thousands of jobs daily, and as their skills are limited to basic factory production, they're unable to find alternative jobs locally.

they don't deserve it? ;p
re: LV, they're slowly shifting over to Chinese manufacturing, following the Coach trend. Of all handbags, they make among the highest profit margins, charging something like 12x-13x cost to make. Coach is around 10x.
:o

The sales figure for LV have dropped recently following economic downturn so it's possible to make partial transfer, but they will never make the full transition because they know their strong competitiveness lies in the quality assurance and the brand value. Shifting manufacturing over to China will detoriate their brand value. (Not that there is anything wrong with China manufacturers)

im the op and i seriously love you guys. way to ruin epicly a thread :D

No problem :D We are just that awesome at derailing. It didn't get as bad as I thought it would, surprisingly.

I always thought Coach was rather inexpensive for "luxury" leather goods. Surprised to hear that they run a profit margin that of that magnitude.

Does anyone know if they make fake rocks for half price lol maybe somewhere in china? i know they make tons of fake ed hardy already.

I wouldn't classify Coach anywhere near LV's range
Handbags in terms of price from top of my head
1. Hermes (Berkins only)
2. LV, Chanel
4. Gucci
5. Christian Dior
6. Balenciaga ?
7. Prada ?
8. Jimmy Choo ?
9. Fendi / Burberry ?

[edit] around 20~25. Coach

YSL belongs somewhere in that list, around Fendi/Brby afaik.
Yeah, Coaches are cheap to make and relatively cheap to buy, explaining their relative ubiquity. They're entirely made-in-China, which lets them do so.
