The article discusses the significant price difference between silk scarves from Marimekko and Stockmann's A+more brand, highlighting factors such as weight, quality, craftsmanship, brand value, and exclusivity. Asiantuntija Kirsti Cura notes that the high price of Marimekko scarves (around €150) suggests there is 'free air' in the pricing, implying potential overpricing. Conversely, the lower price of Stockmann's A+more scarves (under €30) may indicate ethical concerns. The article explains that differences in material weight, production standards, brand reputation, and retail infrastructure contribute to the price gap. Both brands mention their suppliers follow sustainability guidelines, though they do not provide specific sources.
