Is Mickey Mouse Cool Again?
While many high fashion designers are experimenting in mass production, others are playing with the idea of attracting “luxury” consumers.  Take, for instance, Walt Disney Co.  Yesterday the company opened up Disney Vault 28, a high end apparel store in Downtown Disney - in between Disneyland and California Adventure in Anaheim.

According to this article (hat tip to Christine of Flooring the Consumer), consumers are willing to dish out the dough for high-end Disney products - especially if their “limited editions” or “collectibles”.   T-shirts at this new Disney shop range in the $60 range and denim jeans sell for about $150.

When I worked at Nordstrom, I remember seeing these Mickey Mouse t-shirts popping up in the women’s department.  I questioned one of the salespeople about the t-shirts - wondering if the t-shirts were selling  - the answer was a “No.”

So, you be the judge...Do you think Mickey Mouse will become cool again?

Patricia,

Thank you for stopping by and leaving your comments! I think Mickey Mouse will always be popular with the kids... I think if more people wore something with Mickey on it - perhaps wit will become more popular with the adults ;)
