I love “Mad Men”, but I still think it’s ridiculous that Banana Republic’s upcoming collaboration with the franchise is priced so high.
For instance, they’re charging $150 for this shawl-collared sweater, which is a cotton, wool and nylon blend. Also, $40 for a tie clip and $50 for a money clip? You could buy actual vintage accessories from the 1960s for less than half that if you poked around eBay or Etsy.
To be blunt, if the pricing is similar to what we’re seeing today in Gilt’s preview sale, then I’d say it’s not worth it at all. You could find similar items at cheaper prices or better quality.
