Abercrombie is expensive for the same reasons that Juicy Couture, Seven For All Mankind, and Citizens of Humanity are expensive: just because it's a brand-name and expensive, people assume it's quality. Almost every store and probably all in a mall have child laborers, it's very hard to find something not made in china or any other country that uses child laborers. No doubt Abercrombie does use child laborers, they just mark up their clothes a lot more to make more money.

I personally dislike Abercrombie & Fitch. I like American Eagle way better. They have a variety of sizes & you don't need to be xs. I think it has to do with the label. When Abercrombie first came out, their pricings were a bit expensive, but nowhere as near as expensive as they are now. Since Abercrombie is popular, especially with kids & teens, they know they can up their prices & people will still buy them. Unfortunately, it's basically a popularity issue. I know a lot of people that buy their clothes & the clothes aren't even that cute. I've also seen people wear Abercrombie shirts that look exactly like shirts in regular department stores & they buy the Abercrombie shirt just because it says Abercrombie. It's all a label thing. There is controversy going around because in other countries, they used children to model their clothes. You've seen some of their clothes, pretty revealing & not something a kid should wear. There are child labor rumors going around also. If you ask any representative for Abercrombie & Fitch though, they would say that their material is way better than a lot of clothing stores & how great their jeans are. I'll stick to American Eagle.

-hope that helped!♥
