The 19-year-old musician's merch line is getting a lot of flak from the online community for charging astronomical prices on mundane products like hoodies.

The main criticism from users is that selling overpriced merch around the $200 range to teens during a global economic crisis is quite irresponsible.

Billie Eilish has acknowledged the inflated prices. She stated that they're in place to ensure that her clothing is sustainable, of higher quality, and built to last longer. There were also high labor and material costs involved in manufacturing the items.
