Fashion Industry discussion, review, analysis, news, and information

This New York Times article talks about how retailers are limiting the purchases of high-end handbags which I think is pretty absurd.  If you have a customer who is willing to give you thousands upon thousands of dollars - don't you want to take it?  Don't you want that money? 

I understand the concern for reselling.  It's happened a million times or more on eBay.  However, this is something a retailer can't really control - even if they set these limits.  Who is to say that the customer can't call up 3 or 4 of her friends to tell them to buy handbags for her?  Believe me, where there is a will, there is a way.
