The rich truly are different from you and me. They’re really, really stupid about money.

Aside from the obvious racist reference, that sweater is a fashion travesty destined for the bonfire anyway.

Pretty sure that the $890 price would have been enough to kill this product.

I think it needs to be accessorized with a MAGA hat. A $1200 MAGA hat.

It’s an overton sweater. It normalizes paying $1000+ for a sweater without the blackface.

This is why you’re not in high-end retail. People with too much money don’t use it to create new businesses, despite what you may have heard from the “don’t tax the wealthy” crowd. They use it to buy themselves more stuff, and they often equate price with quality. Ripe for plucking.
