PRICING POLICY

CURIOUS ABOUT OUR PRICING POLICY FOR PRODUCTS LISTED UNDER OUR ALPHONSE UNLIMITED OUTLET PAGE?

Our Outlet product detail pages show two prices, a strike-through price and our discounted price. The strike-through price reflects our "Comparable Value" comparison price. To come up with our "Comparable Value" price, we compare our prices to the prices of similar styles from our full-priced retail stores and our competitors. We will adjust the price of the item to take into account differences in the features, benefits and materials between products found at our full-priced stores or our competitors and our outlet products. This adjusted price becomes the "Comparable Value" price. We then work to provide you with a discounted outlet sales price that provides you with the value you have come to know and love from our outlet products.
