“I just found out that the Diasporan African brides are paying $10,000 or more to get their dresses made by famous designers in Africa like Veekee James. $5,000 should be enough for her. Why are you charging people $10,000? What type of greed is that?” — Lady cries out.

Veekee James has publicly acknowledged producing very high‑end pieces — including a dress she said was worth about $20,000, and she has indicated ambitions to charge even more for some bespoke work in the future.

This sparked widespread discussion, with many criticizing what they see as excessive pricing, while others point out that high-end custom bridal fashion often carries steep costs due to materials, craftsmanship, and brand prestige.
