Rohan Bags Price Index 2010

The Mars Bar a currency for our time

Last year we had two very popular posts on Rohantime that looked at the price of a pair of Rohan Bags over three decades. The posts referred to the Mars Bar Index (MBI). Apparently, it has been observed on several occasions that the price of a Mars Bar correlates accurately with the change in value of the pound sterling over an even longer period since the end of the Second World War.
We recorded last year a list of prices that started in 1979 when the price of a pair of Rohan Bags was £19.00 and ended in May 2009 when the price of a pair of Rohan Bags was £53.82.

In 31 years the price had increased, no surprise there. The actual price increase over the years is £34.82. That’s just over £1.00 per annum.

The price today in 2010 is £55.00, it looks like the calculation still stands.

How does this compare to the Mars Bar Index? The Mars Bar, we noted last year, had increased by 300% over the years. Rohan Bags are still just under the MBI.

I have had very many items of Rohan clothing, and have never worn any out, only 1 complaint, very quickly rectified, I have still got a full Rohan wardrobe, and hope to have for many years to come, they still ALL look like new, and wear so well.
Carry on the good work Rohan, and being not so young, they will probably outlast me!!
Thank you Rohan.
