The Gap, Banana Republic and Old Navy shutting down..

...I don't know how many store but they are not making any profit...store such as H&M and Forever 21 are talk g over and they can't compete with them.



Gee, I wonder why?  How many people are rushing out to get that $150 shirt from the Gap?

I think the days of "fashion" as a social statement are done. Nobody cares about labels, let alone wanting to pay 10 times the worth just to display one.



The ultra-expensive fashion stores will thrive, but with the decline of the middle class, "high fashion for the masses" will follow it.

People don't waste as much money on clothes these days.

I buy mine from Costco.



Good brands for cheap.

Brick and mortar stores are having a hard time competing with online shopping.

I mostly buy online unless I see things heavily discounted in brick and mortar stores. At least 30% but prefer 50%.



The markup is so extreme in Australia.



A 30 dollar pair of jeans goes for 120 dollars plus here.

We are so ripped off in this country.



But, if we didn't pay for that shit, they wouldn't sell it...so its on us.

I buy clothes  online too..



I know my size and I know the brands.

I like Costco because you get $120 jeans for $25, and if they don't fit its easy to return and exchange.



You can get brands like Levi, Nautica, Calvin Klein and others for half retail store prices.

Costco is ok...I can't stand their parking tho.

I took Lo shopping today at H&M....got her a Nirvana sweater...she likes Nirvana!!  I so wish alternative and rock would make a comeback.

[Bricktop]

Why not?



You can land a jumbo in the car park here...and they give more space per car than any other car park in the city.

What's "land a jumbo?"
