The dye needed to produce purple clothing was created using an expensive gemstone which had to be ground into a powder and mixed with other chemicals and water to give the right colour. This meant that the cost of producing purple clothes was extremely high and thus so were the prices. Nowadays other synthetic compounds can be used to create the same colours at a much smaller cost which means purple is widely available.
