I think it depends on whay is your personal criteria.
as you can see for some, people don’t understand different variations of material. Some feel only natural fibres is acceptable. Some don’t understand why certain materials are used and want more natural fibres, some the cut and finish isn’t relevant. For many it is simply outside their budget, and they can’t afford it, some don’t understand it. Others just actually don’t know their clothes, never seen them in real life. The comments on cutting corners validated that.
for me, yes it’s worth it, this is the brand I wear the most of the clothes look excellent quality material, the finish is fabulous. The cut, the way the material hangs, even simple things, like I have a pair of cream trousers from them, the pockets are one continual pouch right across the front inside , with just the pocket areas lightly sewn, done in a wavy curved edging for the whole thing , meaning when wearing the trousers there is no way to see the pockets outline as you do often in cheaper trouers.
another example is a dress where it’s a slight puff short sleeve, inside there is a sort of little fan of material, which ensures the sleeve always sits as it should. But like the pocket completely hidden.
they aren’t cutting corners, yes the price has gone up. Most things have right now.
everyone has their own criteria, for me yes absolutely worth it. For the quality, the cut, the finish, the very beautiful materials, even the polyester looks and feels like Silk or wool , but performs and hangs much better, due to the quality of the raw material
so one persons worth it, is another persons no. And that’s ok. They are growing hugely but will never be mass market like primark or markies.
