How much is too much?


Balenciaga is one of the best labels in the fashion industry. Its designs are worth thousands and thousands of dollars. However, are you ready to pay 5.595$ for a scarf? As I've read on the New York Times website, there is already waiting-list for the Palestian scarf from Balenciaga, which costs 5.595$. Taking into account that the costs of production could reached 100$ and adding 200$ more for the firm's prestige and quality, it would be 300$. 1000$ for the designer for his "great idea" and we have still 4.295$ left for each scarf they sell.
On Balenciaga's website, the garment is described as "tricolor fringed ch�che with silver chains".

Not-so-rich-fashionistas from around the world are getting Chanel bags or Louboutins with their efforts and their savings. I think this is a crude exaggeration of the price, and it is a step forward in the back of the exclusive garments, those which only can pay the richest.
