Seller-declared grades, sterling with an approximate US dollar equivalent at £1 ≈ $1.33 (July 2026). What each grade means.
What holds its value across Armani
- Giorgio Armani, the main line, whose soft unstructured tailoring is what the house is actually known for and what holds its price
- Armani Collezioni, discontinued in 2017, which sat just below the main line and is now finite in supply
- Vintage 1980s and 1990s Giorgio Armani tailoring, which is collected for the deconstructed cut that defined the decade
- Emporio Armani watches and eyewear, which are made under licence but carry the eagle mark buyers search for
What pulls Armani resale value down
- Armani Exchange and A|X pieces, which are the high-street line and have very little resale value regardless of condition
- Unstructured jackets that have lost their shape on a wire hanger, since the whole point of the cut is the drape and it does not recover
- Shoulder pads that have compressed or shifted inside the lining, which is a tailoring repair most buyers will not pay for
- Faded black suiting, where repeated dry cleaning has taken the depth out of the cloth and left it reading grey
Identifying and dating yours
- The label names the line directly — Giorgio Armani, Armani Collezioni, Emporio Armani or Armani Exchange — and that name is the single biggest price factor
- Emporio pieces carry the eagle logo; the main line uses a plain typographic label, which is the quickest way to tell the two apart in a photograph
- The composition and country label sits in the inside pocket or side seam and is worth photographing, since the main line is made in Italy
What lifts any midi skirt, whatever the label
Midi lengths sell year-round, which makes them steadier than seasonal pieces, though supply is heavy.
- Structured fabrics that hold a shape
- Pleats that are still sharp
- Designer and contemporary labels
- Full linings in good condition
And what pulls one down
- Pleats that have dropped or lost definition
- Bobbling on knitted midi skirts
- Stretched waistbands
- Very trend-specific prints
Working out what yours is worth
- Check pleats are still sharp and evenly spaced
- Inspect the waistband for stretching
- Measure the waist and full length
What to state in the listing
- Waist, hip and waist-to-hem length in centimetres
- Fabric composition and whether it is lined
- Cut: A-line, bias, pleated or straight
- Whether there is a slit, and the fastening type
Fabric, style and length: “Satin Bias Cut Midi Skirt, Sage, Size 10, 78cm”. Put the centimetre length in the title — on different heights a midi becomes a maxi or a knee-length, and that mismatch is the main reason these come back.
Preparing and photographing it
- Measure the flat waist, hip and length from waistband to hem.
- Check the zip, any slit, and whether the skirt is lined.
- Look at the hem for wear and the fabric for pulls, especially on knits and satins.
- Full length on a hanger or laid flat, front
- A tape running waistband to hem
- The fabric close up, showing texture and drape
- The zip, lining and any snag or mark
When it sells best, and handing it over
Strongest spring through summer with a second lift before the party season. Satin and pleated styles sell fastest.
Light and cheap to post. Fold with tissue for satin and bias cuts, which crease sharply.
What buyers ask
Is Armani Exchange worth listing?
It sells, but as high-street clothing rather than designer. Price it against other mall brands and do not expect the main line’s prices, or it will simply sit unsold.
How can I tell which Armani line I have?
Read the neck or inside-pocket label. The line name is printed in full, and the difference between Giorgio Armani and Armani Exchange is most of what the piece is worth.
How much is an Armani midi skirt worth?
Roughly £12 to £48 depending on condition, against £10 to £40 for midi skirts generally. The identification points above are what move a listing to the top of that range.
