Price upon request

You are catching me at an abnormal emotional state right now, maybe it is due to the book I am reading now (Leaving the World by Douglas Kennedy - omg, it is soooo sad) or the weather changing constantly - anyway, as I said, my emotions go up and down.
No, this is not going to be a four pages post about my PMS - so, don´t worry.
What makes me angry is something that can be said in three little words which - on their own don´t do any harm, but brought together can make me more furious than this big, green, muscly chap.

PRICE UPON REQUEST - it indicates a certain form of arrogance, at least this is how I find it. As if the designers didn´t bother to tell you how much their product costs - as if you are not worth to know. OK, maybe I am a bit tetchy about the topic, but honestly - do you think it is fair? To not know what does really awesome rings from the lovely Gaia Repossi (omg I so love her pieces) actually cost? Or those fab Zanotti´s for whom I´d kill?
Of course I know that the reason why the designers hide their prices is that they want the costumer to go and have a look for themselves. But still - it seems to tear me up.

Yours,
the angry ZiTa
One of Repossi´s pieces - I promise I´ll post something about here eclectic fashion sense soon.
