Iron Gate has popped up on ebay, is anyone insane enough to buy it?

I'm more interested in the bag that's up really http://www.ebay.com/itm/Moi-meme-Moitie-Iron-Gate-Print-Boston-Bag-Black-x-Silver-/281315995394?pt=US_CSA_MWA_Backpacks&hash=item417fbd6f02

Both the Iron Gate jsk and OP are so fucking bland.
>The fabric also seems quite 'dull' and mediocre at best.

How did it actually get so popular?

It definitely hasn't aged well in terms of style, honestly if it got released now I think a lot of people would consider it to be amateur/plain/a little ita.

But if I remember correctly when it was released it was one of the first prints to take on a more mature and intricate theme, as well as the fact that it was MMM definitely helped. Also when it was released, getting the dresses from Japan was a lot more difficult, so there's that exclusivity factor as well.

I-I'm sorry, anon-senpai~ ;~;

So it is pretty much just a status item at this point?
I definitely understood the hype when it came out, it just baffles me that it consistently grew in both popularity and worth when the piece itself has aged so terribly; Most popular prints, even much nicer ones, seem to die down after a certain point.

my iron gate jsk is the pride of my wardrobe. it feels so nice and has an awesome hidden side pocket.

Isn't it one of those dresses that you just can't judge until you see it in person? I've always heard people say they think it's pretty bland looking in pictures but completely change their opion once they get to actually touch and see it in person.

Why do I get the feeling that you're that Aus loli who has been talking about buying Moitie stuff lately?

>>7516577
The material of the OP is actually one of the worst Moitie has ever used. The JSK is the same quality as most of their other older printed pieces, but more underwhelming than some such as Candelabra.

Did they make things out of 100% poly back then too? The quality on polyester is such a huge range I can def see certain dresses being crap compared to others of the same time period

Yeah but to get those you had to spend something like $2000 at the store. You needed a full stamp card and one stamp was 10,000 yen
