Even though the Plus-Size products have been created from existing products we already offer, extended sizes cost more to make due to fabric yields and additional labour for pattern creation and fitting.
Also, as our Plus-Size clothing isn’t produced at the same volume as the rest of our sizes, the unit costs are much higher.
We rely on competitors and other brands to guide us to find what's best for our customers. Other brands that have plus-size products are going to seek at least a 1/5 higher margin than their "regular size" products.
Le Galeriste, therefore, decided to go for this ratio increase at most at retail price. This figure even goes down of course with our advantageous volume discounts at the artist's price.
