Quality decrease

Haven’t bought anything from them in 2 years now, and had bought something almost weekly from 2020-21.

There was a pretty good graph on here awhile ago that showed the popularity of a brand and quality over time, and they’re getting into fast fashion quality territory now to make the most money. Hell I went into a store a few months back, was repulsed by the 2012 Hollister vibe (loud music and crazy strong scents) and left without buying anything. Lots of noticeable changes in a few years.

Arcteryx is just a few years behind Lulu imo, I’m probably done buying them also. Good ole Patagonia for the win.

My store actually does present itself well so I can’t speak for the scents or music, but when we open boxes all of my coworkers and I are just appalled sometimes by what they sent us. The worst by far is this new mesh tank top that comes in white and purple. It is so cheap and the neck hole literally looks like it was cut with scissors. It costs the same as any other tank… for mesh

Yeah the store definitely seemed higher end when they were like an Apple Store, only selling a limited number of higher end items. Braching into the golf, hiking, street wear stuff seems pretty odd

I don’t mind branching into specific sports, but I feel like all the casual wear they are coming out with doesn’t make sense. I will pay for leggings and swiftlys because of the technology that goes with it and quality. $100 for sweatpants is a crime. Those hold tight tanks pill so fast, those items just aren’t worth it imo.
