They have some merchandise on sale towards the back of the store but the store is mainly full price merchandise. The pricing of the items is higher than normal lingerie which ties back to the more glamorous and luxurious feel Victoria’s Secret is trying to portray.

Bralettes can range from 20-30 dollars and pajamas can be around 45-60 dollars for a set.

This price range leaves room for profit for Victoria’s Secret as a store but can be a little over priced for the customer when items are not on
