Is Victoria Beckham a Luxury Brand? An Honest Answer

Yes. Victoria Beckham is a luxury ready-to-wear label: it shows in Paris, it is priced alongside other designer houses and it is made mostly in European workrooms. But “luxury” covers a lot of ground, so here is what it means for this brand in practice. You can see the range for yourself in the Victoria Beckham collection at Coveti.

Where it sits

Victoria Beckham sits in designer ready-to-wear, the same tier as The Row, Khaite and Alaïa, rather than the heritage houses with leather goods at their core. The label shows during Paris Fashion Week and won Designer Brand of the Year at the British Fashion Awards in 2011. Our brands like Victoria Beckham guide compares them.

What you pay

At Coveti, Victoria Beckham knitwear starts around 570 US dollars, jeans around 830, tailored trousers from about 1,100 and jackets from about 1,700. Dresses run from about 1,200 to 2,500, and leather and shearling go far higher. That is designer pricing, not diffusion pricing.

What you get for the money

• Cloth: virgin wool, wool and cashmere blends, silk, lamb nappa and crepe-back satin. The Overcoat in Grey Melange is wool with cashmere, the Utility Blouse in Storm Blue is pure silk.
• Construction: several jackets, such as the Roberta Jacket in Ash Melange, use traditional canvas internals and full linings.
• Cut: the proportions are the real value. The Alina Trouser in Midnight is built to make the leg look longer.

Where it is made

More than half of the Victoria Beckham pieces at Coveti are made in Portugal. The rest come from Turkey, Italy, China, Lithuania, Romania, Bulgaria and the United Kingdom. Each product page names the country.

Is it worth it?

For tailoring and dresses, yes. These are pieces you wear for years, and they hold their shape. For basics such as a cotton hoodie, you pay for the name as much as the garment. Start with the trouser, the jacket and a dress. Our guide to the label explains where to begin.
