I have been thinking the same thing.  Prices keep going up and quality down. Since they bought out HSN you would think they could come down on the prices. If they really want to compete with Amazon and Walmart they need to change things up.

Agreed.  The prices on handbags have been raised recently as well.  Many over $300.  Getting to be out of my price range.  Then add shipping and tax and the totals are daunting.

I agree! Prices have been slowly climbing for awhile. I saw a very cute Susan Graver top, fairly simple, but the price was $60.+ I am on a fixed income, who can afford those prices !?!

I have shopped denim and co for nearly 30 years and bought dozens of tees. Wear, wash, dry, repeat. Not one has come apart at the seams, so I’m satisfied with the construction. Some crew necks in my closet are more than 10 years old. Sizing has been inconsistent at times and that is annoying, but the only fading problem I have had is with their twill pant material in black.

 

I will pay $ for their tees because I like the length. Cheaper tees often are only 25 or 26 inches long and I need the 28” length. I’ve tried the value tees at Macy’s and other dept stores, and they generally run shorter. The ones from Macy’s all lost a good inch within 5 washings. I don’t like Kohl ‘s pricing games and their tees are really short. So I pay the QVC price, and my denim and co tees do last for years, so the value is there for me. I am not happy paying $40 for a top so I’m selective, but I’d rather have fewer tops that look good than a closet full I’m constantly tugging on.

I agree, the clothes are expensive.  Lisa Rinna was on yesterday selling a very basic top for like $65. Actually, it was kind of ugly to be honest. I was shocked it was so pricey, it was nothing special.

@SunValley That's the thing, if you're looking for longer length tops, the shopping channels along with a few catalogs offer them. Quite a few B&M stores don't except if it caters exclusively to plus size, which I am. I was in Kohl's Saturday and did find a longer length top, but the majority are shorter and form-fitting. Sometimes I will pay a higher price if I'm familiar with the brand and know what I'm getting, but I prefer not to.

I totally agree, Just saw a top I like and it is 97.00 way too much for me and I stopped buy handbags when they went over 80.00 and that was years ago. Clothes, shoes, and handbags are costing too much here now.

amazing how they are still charging shipping, lowering quality, and jacking up some prices beyond most are able or willing to pay; I guess they are being subsidized by their other companies.

Logo shorts right at 75.00 over that with tax and shp.

I got a pair with pull on waist at Dillards for 30 and had the frayed hem in bleach denim.
