If you want the latest' newest fabric collections, the shops pay a premium for them. Cotton prices went up drastically a few years ago. "Sale" prices clear out old stock and slow movers. Shops barely if ever recoup the price they initially paid for the once "newest" fabric that ends up in the sale area.
