One year we swarm all over a line because it tickles our fancy and the next year we yawn and call it boring. We want a full range of sizes and fits, at price points which acknowledge our budget woes and splurges. If the company operates at retail level, we want well-stocked stores, knowledgeable staff, and generous return polices, along with regular opportunities to snag items at half price. A good online site with free shipping and returns is also important. And, since we are concerned about ethical issues regarding our clothing, we want quality items that don't rely on disadvantaged workers in foreign countries or use techniques which pollute the environment. </p> <p>I sometimes wonder how small market (and Canada is a small market compared to the US) manufacturers manage to keep their heads above water. One misstep and they are filing for bankruptcy protection. No solutions here, but I sometimes wonder if I'm being disingenuous in lamenting the closing of another Canadian company while ignoring how my shopping habits and expectations fit into the picture. </p> <p>Goodbye Danier--it was fun while it lasted. And I hope Rudsak, Soia and Kyo, Pink Tartan, La Canadienne, and the rest of our great Canadian brands don't end up on the same road. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/danier---possible-bankruptcy#post-1612184 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 12:34:26 +0000 Neelie 1612184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of going in and stocking up on gloves...Will keep an eye on what happens... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/danier---possible-bankruptcy#post-1611881 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 16:32:37 +0000 JAileen 1611881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was hoping to go to one someday. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/danier---possible-bankruptcy#post-1611873 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 16:18:05 +0000 Beth Ann 1611873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've heard that it's been a tough year for retail all around. &nbsp;I would hate to see my Canadian sisters lose the "Danier advantage!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/danier---possible-bankruptcy#post-1611700 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 03:37:57 +0000 Anonymous 1611700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting. &nbsp;I have been in "my" local mall store once or twice in the last couple of months, but there was nothing innovative and new that interested me. And they are another store that like BR, is perennially on sale. That sort of pricing wears thin after awhile. What is the real value of this thing? And why is it "on sale" the moment it hits the floor?</p> <p>It needs an influx of cash for a new design team, maybe a different marketing approach, and a new look for the stores and the brand itself. This might be a good thing.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/danier---possible-bankruptcy#post-1611682 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 02:53:32 +0000 Sveta 1611682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! &lt;sobbing!&gt; It is pretty much the only advantage we Canadians had over US! I hope they recover, I love this store, quality, designs and prices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/danier---possible-bankruptcy#post-1611650 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 00:51:11 +0000 Marilyn 1611650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! :(&nbsp; I hope they can recover from this.&nbsp; I love Danier.....and their alteration service to shorten my jacket sleeves has been impeccable.&nbsp; As nice as it is to have some of the American stores that have moved in, it's destroying Canadian retail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/danier---possible-bankruptcy#post-1611574 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 22:59:59 +0000 Elizabeth P 1611574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went to my local one on the weekend and they had the clearance sales on... they told me they were closing 10 discount outlets across the country, not that the whole company was in trouble.&nbsp; I was quite disappointed to say the least... I loved that store.&nbsp; Because it was an outlet, they had tons of things not available online anymore, so much selection. I got Deborah's asymmetrical shirt for her months after it had disappeared from retail.&nbsp; My shearling coat was sold out online...</p> <p>So sad :(</p> <p>But probably good for my wallet. After all, how many leather jackets (purses, pants, sweaters....) does a girl need??&nbsp; </p> <p>I did pick up this in commiseration.&nbsp; And will likely go back to stock up on things like gloves while they are on sale.&nbsp; Maybe a new wallet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/danier---possible-bankruptcy#post-1611539 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 21:49:22 +0000 Helena 1611539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah well that would explain the big clearance sales ...
