I can look at some Vineyard Vines things, and why they're included makes sense to me (like the belts with the MV and CC street signs, or any of the stuff related to whales). Much of the SP items, on the other hand, make me scratch my head.
Since it's a newer company, SP has a considerably smaller product line than VV (at least for women), which will probably dictate its market share for a while.

I agree on all.
But the "coastal living" part of VV is what appeals to most Southern Fraternity men.
Most of the big time Southern schools are fairly close to the coast.

It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
