Oscar de la Renta Collectibles label

I'm new to collecting vintage apparel, and I fear this is a newbie question but here goes.

I recently found a lovely wrap skirt with the label "Oscar de la Renta Collectibles." I've been searching and googling this label and have learned a great deal about de la Renta's labels but not his "Collectibles" label specifically.

From what little I have found, I'm thinking the "Collectibles" is an off the rack label created for department stores, and as such has significantly less value than other de la Renta pieces.

Am I correct in this assumption? Any help would be much appreciated!

The US trademark shows that brand name was first used in 1976 and the trademark was cancelled in 1984.

Thanks, Melanie ~ I was able to find that trademark information and date the skirt to that time period. I just haven't been able to get an idea of its value, relative to other ODLR pieces that are from his "regular" labels vs "collectibles" label. Or if there is a difference.
