There is a heavy promotion of “Premium Jeans”. Occasionally, there are northeastern college influenced looks, but the majority of the designs are trend driven. In early 2010, the brand introduced its first leather handbags collection (inspired by the designs from the RUEHL collections).[citation neededWomen’s Wear Daily calls the clothing classically “neo-preppy”. A&F also carried the now defunct upscale “Ezra Fitch” clothing line, made of high-grade materials, until diminishing sales pulled it from shelves.

The merchandise price points are recognized as the highest in the youth-clothing industry. Internationally, they are almost double the price in American stores. Retail analyst Chris Boring warns that Abercrombie & Fitch’s brands are a “little more susceptible” should recession hit, because their specialties are premium-priced goods rather than necessities. Indeed, as the Late-2000s recession continues, A&F has noticeably suffered financially for its refusal to lower price points or offer discounts. A&F argues that doing so would “cheapen” its near-luxury image, while analysts predict that this attitud will bring a major financial fall in the near future for the company.
