Why is D&G so expensive?
1 Answer

There are a few reasons why D&G is expensive. Rather than following the rapidly changing trends of fashion, Dolce & Gabbana has instead held to its close-fitting tailoring and decadent designs. The Italian luxury fashion house sources costly fine materials, like calfskin, lace and silk, for its pieces. In addition, artisans working for Dolce & Gabbana often produce each piece by hand, so the brand's labor costs are high. Finally, only a limited number of Dolce & Gabbana clothing, bags, shoes and other pieces are available each season, so demand is often much greater than supply. On 1stDibs, explore a variety of Dolce & Gabbana apparel and accessories.
