PRPS london prices

[apekilledape]

i know there is alot of PRPS threads, but this is different. so anyone bought PRPS jeans in london or the UK and how much was it? preferably in pounds.

ape kills ape, nigo packs his bags.

[guffer]

they are 200+ i think

Seems to be a big difference in price between the US and "rip off" Europe. www.stevenalan.com sells them for less than 200 USD, and I think it's the rinsed version. I didn't like the belt detail though. Oh well, PDCs sell for more than 150 pounds at Selfridges, so go figure.

[guffer]

pd&cs are 190ish

[kremedla]

from what i have seen, the cheapest for the 1 rinse selvedge is at start, a shop around hoxton square. round 190 quid, whereas liberty and selfridges around 210- 215 quid. duffer around the same as liberties and selfridges...

[misterdobalina]

that's normal.

everything is generally double in the UK.

screen printed label _____(fill in) AAA tees (or whatever) are $25 retail in the US, £35-40 in London.

does it surprise you it's the same for denim?

[misterdobalina]

selfridges pays the US wholesale price, adds shipping, adds importing fees, adds VAT (which is 10% more than usually in the USA), and than uses a margin of at 3.0 at least (US retailers use 2.0-2.2) - voilà, you get £220+ on a $190 US denim jeans.

I guess we should be thankful. I lived three years in Copenhagen where VAT is 25%, so I guess everything is relative.

[misterdobalina]

yea that wallace store in copenhagen has some serious pricing

[docdoom]

yeah i think prps is 210+, tho there were some in duffer down to 70 pounds a few months ago, new year sales i guess. if they had been 501 style i might have considered them, but they were tampered modern type cut thing, nice colour tho. i didnt see any nice jeanidge in selfridge to be honest.

sorry to cover well trod ground i think but are there any physical sellers of denime in UK are is it internet only?
