While the idea behind the brand is being overwhelmingly praised, customers aren’t excited about all its aspects. In fact, many customers have shown disdain towards the high prices of the pieces, which are meant to be worn by everyone. Since the launch customers have been venting their frustrations on Khloé’s instagram page, stating that a price range of $159-$215 is far too much for the average woman. Despite the complaint many fans still are showing admiration for the idea.
