I know brand is indulgent anyway, but am I the only one who thinks that this is steep? Innocent World are doing a collaboration with Takarano Akira and whilst I appreciate that collaborations cost more...
... I wonder who would buy this rose corsage for 10,290yen? It can't cost that much to make and I would prefer to make it myself than buy this at that price. I think there are some really beautiful brand items that use roses like these but despite being used to brand prices, I felt there was just something a bit 'off' about the price of this particular corsage.
It also looks incredibly fragile and flimsy. All that there is to attach this at the back are these small pins. This corsage was actually designed to be paired with the bonnet from the same series, which probably explains the small pins on the back. But it would mean that if I wanted to wear it by itself or without a bonnet, I would have to mess around with bobby pins to keep it in place.
I am not attacking Innocent World- I am just curious to know if anybody out there would buy it, or has in fact, ordered it? Do you think it is worth it? I think it looks beautiful and I wouldn't mind owning it, but I wouldn't pay that price (It is over £80). Would you ever buy any collaboration items?
It seems to be easily made at home, one just have to buy some plastic roses, modify some of them, glue one to another et voila. So no, I'd never buy it from IW :)
ReplyDeleteYeah... this is what I was thinking. It is so simple to make one.
Delete:s I could make this for less than £10, how on earth does out cost that much?! The roses don't look that well finished either.
ReplyDeleteNow that you mention it, in the 2nd picture you can see the edge of the rose looks a bit rough. I guess you could argue it would be hidden, but I would expect more.
