ralph lauren purple label shoes as everyone knows are made by edward green.in the past they always priced them about £50 more than the equivalent model that you could buy from edward green .but ralph gave you a pair of shoe trees as well so the priceing was ok .but now all thats changed.the price he wants is wait for it ,your not going to believe this £1100 .thats right edward green are currently selling in the jermyn street store for £600. and ralph wants us to pay him £500 extra for the same shoe. so was ralph smokeing crack when he worked out that price ,or has he just gone mad.or is it that he's just takeing the piss

He'll take the bigger price from the select regulars and celebs and then mark them down 50%+25% after Thanksgiving. At least that is what they have always done.

The prestige of wearing PURPLE LABEL is well worth the £500 markup.

You don't hear Jay-Z rapping about rocking a pair of Edward Greens

i was in edward green recently and most of the styles were £600.some models like the dover were £695.but ralph has still gone mad with his priceing.they still have a model from last year a brown lace derby which is on display at £595,and right next to it they have a plain oxford and a full brougue and they are both on sale at £1100,which are both from this season it just makes no sense
