| - I walked through the store again...and I GOT IT....In many years (less than 3), anthropologists on a dig at the site, will be enlightened, by what they dig up. They will scratch their heads, and wonder how the 'ancients' lived. Now is that a compliment or...?
This is an update to my earlier review which does not seem to show up here. It went like this:
Ladies.....stop your exuberance. This form of store has been around for years. They have found a different package, and upped the prices. I had visited these in the U.S. and was not impressed.
They have very nice eye appeal, and really a limited clothing selection. If you are on a safari for random household goods, they have that too. And cutesy things!
Any item there, taken out of context, and placed in let's say IKEA (not the clothing), would not look out of place. It is savantly arranged and very nicely displayed. I has the edgy urban vibe, like all the 'hotel' furniture being sold, but will be "so yesterday" in a few tomorrows. This is a large investment and they will have to generate massive sales, and achieve a high gross margin (read this to be no mark-downs or real sales).
I see that Marie got so excited by this store....Marie hold on! I am voting that it will last maximum 2.5 years..and then be gone! By the way, the wife dragged me there...she had been to the one in Chicago, and I also shared my feelings with her. Thank god the credit card did not get a workout that day.
