They're asking what price?

I was following links to see what the inspiration for a lj-friend's project is -- the original is a caplet from Anthropologie. I was *totally* distracted by the fact that this model is wearing a crocheted necklace.

A crocheted necklace that cost $198 -- and is the Hemp Flowers Necklace that I made this spring.

They're making it out of mercerized cotton and lurex, so the yarn isn't any more expensive than the hemp I used (and quite probably less), and yet they're charging almost $200 dollars for it? bwuh?

Is this highway robbery or am I severely undercharging when I make stuff on commision? Is the Anthropologie brand so prestigious that they can charge just so you have the privilege of saying "Oh, this little thing? I bought it at Anthropologie"?

It's an interesting store. They carry stuff up to about twelve or so, but most of their stuff doesn't look good unless you're built along size 0 - 4 lines and/or have really long legs. Every once in a while, though, they'll come out with somethig that's just spectacular on short, pear-shaped chicks like me. Cut, fit, color, everything. My favorite skirt is a piece from there that I plan to wear until I explode out of it.

And yeah. Anthropologie's presentation is legendary. I know a rental company that advertises their furnished flats as being like they're out of the pages of Anthropologie.

Carry up to size 12 -- which means they exclude half the women in the country. :P I hate stores like that. Bennetton does the same thing.
