Designer children's wear and ridiculous prices

"Young Versace" tee shirt in the window of Adore Fashions children's wear store, Granville Street, Vancouver, BC

Children grow like weeds, and will manage to rip, tear, shred, and destroy just about everything they put on. So therefore it must make sense to invest a lot in their clothing. This "Young Versace" tee shirt is a prime example.

Available in sizes 4 to 14, this shirt is available for only $255 CDN.

What the heck? Are they insane? Even if you could, who would think that $255 CDN was a reasonable price for a children's tee shirt. And it is not even a shirt that a four-year old would have any connection with. It is a not emblazoned with character from children's literature, television, or movies.

This tee has Versace's Medusa logo on the front. A woman so ugly that she turns everyone who looks at her to stone. Now that is just the sort of message I was to send to my pre-teen daughter.

I just don't get this, on so many levels. Oh well. The store has been open for two years, so there must be a market. Good luck.
