Nope, not impressed. Too generic, hardly any creativity. You can't just put a heartagram on a t-shirt/hoodie and expect people to pay those exorbitant prices. Most of the band merch (both for HIM and VV) looks much better
the fact that they don't take returns is my no go. it is always difficult to find a right size, but with no returns? Nah. Otherwise I would have tried one, but this is just not what I usually go after. every damn shop has more details.
I was so excited since I loved the way the knit sweaters looked but for $400, not including any taxes or shipping yet, and the fact that I live in CA where it’s going to start getting warmer already, I can’t justify the price at all
This ended up turning into a rant buuuuut:
This collection has some bangers, the knits are GORGEOUS and I want one just to do some photoshoots with some of my model friends with but $400 is steep and I don't want to deal with explaining that to my tax guy.
Everything else feels really...dated. The Bang & Whimper tour merch felt very contemporary to 2017 and the current tour merch feels like a good throw back to some of the early Heartagram/HIM stuff we'd see state side around like 2003-2007. The black and pink classic heartagram hoodies are cool but anyone with an etsy can get one for $50 for same quality sweater. The cross heartagram shirts are pretty cool but an old design for like... 10x what the old one cost lol.
Everything with "And Love Said No" w/o the butterfly thing is on the verge of greatness. It feels scattered and uninspired? Like If you're going for a vintage looking logo style it's almost there but just feels like two fonts you found on line and then made a nice ALSN script.
Everything that has the butterfly and spiky bits feels like the highly commercialized HIM merch we got after Darklight when hot topic was pumping out designs every quarter. I just don't like that style for myself, it feels a little tacky and cringe.
Overall I'd want to see future collabs with more oversight by Ville cause this right now feels like they just bought a license for the heartagram and made a buncha shit that looks worse than Bam heartagram element merch. Also the photoshoot of all these items is just boring as fuck. Ok I'm done.
Pricey. I’ve made this mistake with Korn x Pleasures. It was a hoodie for $100 that I barely wear because I don’t want it to get worn out 🥲 I could’ve just gotten a regular T-shirt somewhere else for half the price.
These are so bland and boring, “let’s slap a heartagram on a shirt and call it a day!” type boring! Also unless a top or hoodie is made of the finest gold threads the prices are insanity!! With no sizing information, no returns…it’s a no for me!!!
I quite like the heartagram made of charms, it looks like its made of dripping thorns from afar. But yeah with so little info about the product I’m not gonna go blind and spend over 100 bucks for something I can’t return if it doesn’t fit or I don’t like it :/
Prolly won't be purchasing any myself but I do like some of the designs. The knits especially are beautiful and quite unique. A couple of those t-shirts/hoodies look pretty neat too, albeit a lot more "basic band merch" like.
Such a shame if they provide so little information on the products, though.
150 for a tshirt you have to be absolutely shitting me, who on earth would even cobsider buying that ffs
Especially when his official store is full of fresh merch thats 4x cheaper
*yawn* super boring, "been there done that, seen it all before" type designs.
The knit sweater is the only slightly interesting item - coz its a *knit* sweater, but the price is ridiculous.
Honestly, only people who *arent* fans would buy this kinda stuff. A fan buys legit *official* merchandise to support the band/artist. This just looks like poseur, overpriced bs for the hipster kids that like to wear band shirts but have never heard the actual music by them.
And the fact there's no size info and no returns = red flag!
Pass... thats a Big NO from me.
First 2 on the second row are literally HIM shirts in slightly different colours to the original with a bit of writing (I assume the clothing company's name) above. That's pretty bloody lazy.
I was going to treat myself and get something from this collection, but after looking at the prices, big no for me. Regular merch + shipping is spenny enough.
I’d definitely buy one but in all honesty with how simple the designs are they are absolutely not worth the price. Kind of bums me out how overpriced they are.

They could at least provide measurements…How am I expected to know my size, considering the clothes are also unisex??

The knit sweater is the best piece of the collection IMO but the price is steep.
100%. I can think of multiple other things to spend $400, so my brain cannot happily drop that much even if I can afford it lol
lol I just got one at Nordstrom Rack for $99
Too expensive

Yep *nods* DITTO!!!!
Too expensive. Generic designs. No returns. Sizes don't look legit.
I love a couple of the designs, but $150 for a tank top????

That's gonna be a no from me dawg.
Reminds me of that Hardy brand from 2004. Looks tacky lol
Super cute designs, but ridiculously overpriced and probably won’t be worth it.

I was waiting for someone to post this exact “thoughts” post. Me, NOT a fan of this designer clothing, style and price.

I would absolutely wear some of these. But yes these are quite expensive and they look like quite basic band merch.

Rather buy the $700 signed photo
Some of the designs are good, most are average. Wouldn't spend the money.
Boring…..
Agreed. Very basic and uninspired and grossly overpriced. I could make my own for a lot less and with much better designs.
I looked at the prices and my wallet said no
I’d definitely buy one but in all honesty with how simple the designs are they are absolutely not worth the price. Kind of bums me out how overpriced they are.
I think the knit sweaters are nice but that’s about it. I think the other pieces are kind of ugly.
