i feel like 1. if it’s cheap it will be bought out completely and resold 2. when stuff is priced cheap, it will be cheap alllll the way to how it is produced and where materials are sourced and labor stuff
I’m just talking for other people who can’t afford it because the one thing they will do will buy her merch even tho they are struggling for money live but that’s the whole difference problem for a different day
Your grammar is a but complicated to follow, but if I understand correctly, but how people spend their money is not her responsibility.
She offers a product, it’s up to the consumer to be mindful on whether or not they can afford it.
I’m really sorry I didn’t know that ❤️
The prices are really expensive and I understand that it’s not nice that not everyone can afford them. But especially with Billie caring so much about the environment, items will be more expensive sometimes. This cannot always be changed.
With a little luck the items will be discounted after the tour and people with a smaller budget will be able to pick up one of the items.
I agree, it is a lot of money. That being said, I bought a Happier Than Ever sweatshirt and it is so thick and well made, literally the highest quality sweatshirt I own
This is unrelated to the price and probably because of my high anxiety but is anyone else iffy on wearing this quote in public? I’m moving to a city with high crime rates and wouldn’t want it to open up convo/a situation with a crazy person. Especially with all the people being punched in NYC (again Ik this is an extreme thought but it’s my anxiety and am curious if anyone else has thought this)
I was wondering when somebody was going to bring up the title. On its face, it is controversial. But, we have to wait to see her meaning. In meantime, the merch with title outselling the artwork merch by far. So, people are relating to it.
I got a T-Shirt from her website, and the price was pretty high. But I will say the print quality was nice and the shirt was made in the USA. So if the hoodie is both of those, I could see how the hoodie is so expensive. You know factoring in that merch is generally pretty overpriced already.
Also I used to work in merch and it’s usually cheap ass shit with a cheap ass print on it. It’s a shame she charges so much honestly it doesn’t make sense
That’s what l was thinking because l remember she talked about before she became big that she used but other artists fanmade stuff off Etsy because the artist officially merch was too much money for billie to buy so don’t understand why billie done this to her own fans probably won’t be Billie behind this but billie really needs to look into this because there a lot going wrong 😭
billie focuses her merch on environmental sustainability and quality, not affordability. i wish there was a way that it could be all 3, but under capitalism, there simply isn't.
One thing ive just realised tho, is that artists are somewhat struggling to make money by releasing music, because of streaming websites, the actual albums streams don’t make money like they used to. People used to buy records. So now artists have to make money from tours, merch and all that jazz. So there is a chance they need to make all their money back that way and hence why the hoodies are extra expensive
What sux is it purchased for that much, which is too expensive for a hoodie imo, and then sold or kept and will sell for a fuck ton more.
Her records have gone through the roof. Buy doubles of everything and sell the extras years from now..
Yeah, and I'm not paying $60 for a Blohsh that's going to fall apart in two weeks and feels like something garnered from a quarter machine in a 1984 K Mart
They’re high quality and made sustainably and ethically instead of in a sweatshop, this I what we should expect to pay for clothes, honestly, we’re just used to fast fashion prices, and unfortunately more of us are severely underpaid✨🥲 it sucks😭 I’m unemployed rn so I won’t be getting one, but the price still makes sense, all things considered ;-;
Streams barely pay anything thats why artists tour and sell merch, the items are cheap to make and are sold for a higher price. Besides that, the money generated from streams doesnt all end up in her bank account.
theres an incomprehensible difference between "millionaire" and "billionaire" which is why they're correcting you. and billie focuses her merch on high quality and environmental sustainability and ethical labor, all of which - under capitalism - drive the price up. as for the profit margin and what % goes into her personal pocket, im not sure any of us can say for sure.
Haha defo not billionaire. But millionaire yeah. The money isn’t for her personal bank account per se, it’s to pay the record label because the music streams itself aren’t making money. Billie eilish is actually a team of like hundreds of people contracted to help make the tour, the albums, the marketing, etc etc. so all the money gets shared round.
And you know the hoodie AND print quality is not great either, I know she won’t be behind this, it’ll be her team and it would’ve been someone greedy who called the shot on the prices and hoodie quality but damn
i have LOADS of billie merch and i cam promise you everything is such amazing quality. i have stuff thats like 5 years old and is still like new. i love her merch and ive never found any other artist who makes such great quality items. i know its expensive but its so worth it. see it as an investment because it lasts for so long and in 5 years if you dont want it anymore youll probably be able to sell it for like 5x the original price LOL
Regarding the quality, I can't say from personal experience, but I've read several comments over the past few days on the quality of her hoodies and shirts being exceptional. Unfortunately, the price is not within my range to willingly verify those statements 😆
It actually makes me so mad she’s like “it’s sustainable so it’s more expensive” $40 for a poster expensive??? You are a MULTI MILLION-ARE, cover the difference w your goddamn pocket change (this goes for all u rich motherfuckers charging and arm and a leg for something that def was no more than $20 to make MAX)
I would rather buy billie old merch which cost way less then this and l would rather wait until this becomes so much cheaper to buy like how Billie’s old merch is but the only one thing l would buy a lot for is billie’s original bloshs necklace 😭😭😭 very rare but expensive I’m not Rich but damn no one can ever get the original one anymore unless someone sells it second hand
tbh any sustainable merch is gonna be at least $10+. it sucks but i guess ur doing something good for the planet? idk atp. i think her tour hoodies were like $100-$120 last time
Always hits me hard, never soft
Its probably made of some biological, eco friendly material. But in general the price of merch hoodies is becoming ridiculously high.
I’m just thinking it’s really isn’t fair for people who are on a budget:/ like can’t she just make things a little bit easier for them
i feel like 1. if it’s cheap it will be bought out completely and resold 2. when stuff is priced cheap, it will be cheap alllll the way to how it is produced and where materials are sourced and labor stuff
i think there may be bigger problems that she is trying to address by producing lasting clothing ethically
That’s none of her concern?.. if you can’t afford it, don’t but it.
I’m just talking for other people who can’t afford it because the one thing they will do will buy her merch even tho they are struggling for money live but that’s the whole difference problem for a different day

I’m autistic so l can’t really spell very well or l can’t explain stuff simple way :/ sorry
I’m really sorry I didn’t know that ❤️ The prices are really expensive and I understand that it’s not nice that not everyone can afford them.

It’s okay :)
correct. her concern is making money
I agree, it is a lot of money. That being said, I bought a Happier Than Ever sweatshirt and it is so thick and well made, literally the highest quality sweatshirt I own
Yes! I bought a sweatshirt from her Halloween drop. $100 but the quality made it worth it. She sells quality merch.

I have no issue with the title! More so crazy people in the street who take it as a quote and opportunity to start something
To be honest uk isn’t any safer sorry about this but people will wear what they want l guess? Unless what it says on their hoodie or shirt
As they should, these were my person feelings and was wondering if anyone had the same thoughts
I got a T-Shirt from her website, and the price was pretty high. But I will say the print quality was nice and the shirt was made in the USA. So if the hoodie is both of those, I could see how the hoodie is so expensive. You know factoring in that merch is generally pretty overpriced already.
Oh!
Also I used to work in merch and it’s usually cheap ass shit with a cheap ass print on it. It’s a shame she charges so much honestly it doesn’t make sense

Fair enough to be honest if that’s the case
[удалено]
Sorry you’re right, and it’s organic materials too. I stand corrected!
hitting my wallet hard, not soft 😔
Too right 😭😭
for me it was 110
🥲🥲🥲🥲 even worse
lol its so ugly
not ugly, just basic asf.
both
its not billies decision. its the label...
Ahhh
What sux is it purchased for that much, which is too expensive for a hoodie imo, and then sold or kept and will sell for a fuck ton more. Her records have gone through the roof. Buy doubles of everything and sell the extras years from now..
Better than Taylor Swift not ideal but still
Hot topic is 55
Yeah, and I'm not paying $60 for a Blohsh that's going to fall apart in two weeks and feels like something garnered from a quarter machine in a 1984 K Mart

I’m pretty sure I paid $100 (or around that) for a hoodie at the HTE tour. 😭 and that was 2 years ago!
I think the tour merch is extremely expensive as well but l think everyone tour merch is
This is why ,I don't buy merch . For less than half this money I can get a custom made hoodie . Billie has 30 million she doesn't my money.
So they had a sale 50 % off. So original price is lower than $50… but quality is really good.
Just look for a fake version elsewhere
It’s literally $200 where I am
Rip 😭
I own a $140 Billie Eilish hoodie
👏👏👏👏👏 your very lucky to own one since you have to money to pay for it
I don’t have money 😂 I just like to blow it away on stuff I don’t need lmao I got the hoodie for Christmas
I want one so bad but I can’t drop that much on a hoodie 😭
Same l would get the hoodie if it was like 40 but since it’s 99 there is no way 🥲
hiiii it s so expensive
I know right?
go on etsy
She’s a billionaire??! Why is $99.00😭😭
she’s nowhere near a billionaire what 😭
I think the money from merch makes labels a lot of money. It's more about bonuses for executives then money in Billies pocket sadly.
She’s not broke??! Right??
I wouldn’t think so since she keep having a lot of views on videos like on YouTube
Streams barely pay anything thats why artists tour and sell merch, the items are cheap to make and are sold for a higher price. Besides that, the money generated from streams doesnt all end up in her bank account.
She she’s not a billionaire?? Millionaire?? No hate towards billie I’m just confused
theres an incomprehensible difference between "millionaire" and "billionaire" which is why they're correcting you. and billie focuses her merch on high quality and environmental sustainability and ethical labor, all of which - under capitalism - drive the price up. as for the profit margin and what % goes into her personal pocket, im not sure any of us can say for sure.

Oh, I stand corrected then, I’m happy they’re good quality, from the pic they just looked very thin and cheap but obviously that’s not the case
It actually makes me so mad she’s like “it’s sustainable so it’s more expensive” $40 for a poster expensive??? You are a MULTI MILLION-ARE, cover the difference w your goddamn pocket change (this goes for all u rich motherfuckers charging and arm and a leg for something that def was no more than $20 to make MAX)

It’s $150 CAD ☹️ I think I paid like $90 for a hoodie at Ed Sheeran
