Bargain Hunting In The 21st Century

The price of keeping up to date with the latest trends is increasing every year. It’s not just the tax increases that are pushing the prices up, but the gentle price increase the labels are slowly integrating into their lines. In essence you could have bought something that is still in season today, two years ago for 25% less than the current RRP.

However there is always the possibility of vintage items and how fashion is in a cycle every twenty years. Now here where things get interesting as you might find yourself in a situation where you’ve purchased an item of clothing, to find that next seasons costs slightly more, does that devalue your previous purchase or increase it to the same value?

This could be a positive or negative value depending on the preference of the consumer.
