Is Alexander Wang a Luxury Brand? Price, Quality and Where It Sits
Is Alexander Wang a Luxury Brand? Price, Quality and Where It Sits
Yes, Alexander Wang is a luxury brand. It is a New York designer label, founded in 2005 by a CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winner who went on to run Balenciaga, and its bags, shoes and tailoring are priced in the luxury tier. What makes it different is the range: alongside a Rocco duffle you can buy a logo tee and a pair of jeans, which is why many people meet the brand through its basics. Shop the full range at Alexander Wang at Coveti.
How much does Alexander Wang cost?
At Coveti, Alexander Wang T-shirts start from around $360, jeans and sweatpants sit roughly between $600 and $1,000, dresses and knitwear between $700 and $2,500, shoes between about $500 and $2,000, and bags from about $600 for a denim mini tote to over $4,000 for a studded Ricco.

What makes it luxury?
Three things. First, the materials on the core pieces: lambskin and cow leather on the Rocco, Ricco and Siren bags, nappa footbeds and leather outsoles on the heels, wool and mohair suiting, Italian-style compact knits. Second, the design pedigree. Wang won the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund in 2008, two CFDA Swarovski Awards, and spent almost three years as creative director of Balenciaga. Third, the distribution: the label sells through its own stores and the leading department stores and luxury retailers, at full price.
Is the quality worth it?
For the leather goods and shoes, yes. The bags are built with heavy hardware, stud feet and nail chains, and they keep their shape. The denim is mostly 100% cotton and made to soften with wear. The crystal hotfix pieces need gentle care: turn them inside out, wash cold and keep the iron away from the stones, as our product pages explain. The tees are the one category where you are partly paying for the name, and even there the fitted, shrunken cut is hard to find elsewhere.
How Alexander Wang compares
