Not that I purchase much from Collection but it would offer more variance between the two shops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-is-going-to-start-selling-at-nordstrom#post-1721005 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 13:36:49 +0000 Janet 1721005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The only advantages I see of buying a "mall brand" at Nordstrom are: 1) the generous return policy, and 2) earning Nordstrom Notes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-is-going-to-start-selling-at-nordstrom#post-1720994 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 13:07:24 +0000 Jaime 1720994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>not crazy about this idea either. My Nordstrom is already tiny-I don't want to see any more floor space taken up by a mall store. Madewell currently takes enough of it even though there is a store right outside the Nordstrom door. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-is-going-to-start-selling-at-nordstrom#post-1720969 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 12:12:19 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1720969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nordstrom is becoming the fashion equivalent of Amazon.</p> <p>(Ahaha, then I scrolled up and saw that Fircracker said the same thing)</p> <p>My guess is Nordstrom might carry their higher end pieces, like their Italian wools? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-is-going-to-start-selling-at-nordstrom#post-1720966 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 12:06:35 +0000 viva 1720966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My thoughts were with crazyone and Janet.&nbsp;</p> <p>First, why would I buy at Nordstrom when JCrew offers so many discounts if I buy from them directly? I can't imagine Nordstrom will match all of those (or be able to keep up with them all -- there is a sale every week).</p> <p>Second, why would I buy at Nordstrom if it just becomes a clearing house of major mid-level brands that have their own stores? I'd like to see it doing more of the "Space: Emerging and Advanced Designer" stuff. Topshop is fun because that brand is not ubiquitous in the US, but it was the beginning of a slippery slope. Nordstrom seems to be in danger of becoming a mall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-is-going-to-start-selling-at-nordstrom#post-1720875 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 04:43:01 +0000 Karie 1720875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I wouldn't mind it if they built a Nordstrom near me, but I will be very upset if they close my local J Crew. It's a good sized store and they keep it well stocked.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-is-going-to-start-selling-at-nordstrom#post-1720852 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 02:57:20 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1720852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Janet. I wish Nordstrom would carry more unusual brands, not what we can find at other mall stores. (Eventually the mall may just become a brick and mortar Amazon outlet, anyway.)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-is-going-to-start-selling-at-nordstrom#post-1720831 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 02:45:14 +0000 crazyone 1720831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I buy a lot of stuff at Madewell and I buy a lot of stuff at Nordstrom, but I never buy Madewell stuff at Nordstrom--it's usually cheaper at Madewell since they usually have a discount off their sales (Nordstrom matches the sale price but doesn't seem to automatically match the coupon, at least) &nbsp;Both of them have free shipping with free returns with no minimum, but J. Crew has a different shipping model so this seems like a good way to try out single items from J. Crew without having to worry about shipping costs.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-is-going-to-start-selling-at-nordstrom#post-1720826 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 02:41:28 +0000 gradfashionista 1720826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this idea and hope that it forces J. Crew to up the quality factor, given Nordstrom's return policy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-is-going-to-start-selling-at-nordstrom#post-1720815 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 02:28:05 +0000 Anonymous 1720815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm interested. J Crew intimidates me while Nordstroms does not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-is-going-to-start-selling-at-nordstrom#post-1720807 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 01:44:23 +0000 Thistle 1720807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting. I suppose now is the time to take risks in retail as they're all struggling and in transition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-is-going-to-start-selling-at-nordstrom#post-1720801 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 01:16:06 +0000 Staysfit 1720801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha ha, JCrew at Nordstroms?! My two favorite shopping places merged into one location. I bet they will close our local store. I mostly go there to do returns. It's small. However, the local college students like it and buy a lot. (J Crew sizes and quality have been very inconsistent, but their jeans are usually a slam dunk!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-is-going-to-start-selling-at-nordstrom#post-1720791 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 00:50:35 +0000 rachylou 1720791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe that will help J Crew, but I can't see how it will help Nordstrom. Are they going to scale back their in house lines? And why would I want J Crew over those? Because I don't... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-is-going-to-start-selling-at-nordstrom#post-1720782 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 00:30:47 +0000 Anonymous 1720782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet - I have never found Jcrew to fit me well, but I do like some of their looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-is-going-to-start-selling-at-nordstrom#post-1720780 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 00:28:43 +0000 DonnaF 1720780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today there was a notice on nordstrom.com that J. Crew, including Petites will be sold at Nordstrom starting this Fall.&nbsp; It also lists the stores, including Downtown Seattle and Bellevue.&nbsp; Only Costa Mesa in California.&nbsp; I would think the full range would be available online, but you never know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-is-going-to-start-selling-at-nordstrom#post-1720774 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 23:39:41 +0000 Janet 1720774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. I'm not really excited about this. JCrew rarely fits me well anyway, and I would rather see brands at Nordsrtrom that I can't find in other stores at the mall. Meh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-is-going-to-start-selling-at-nordstrom#post-1720760 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 22:37:35 +0000 Banoffi 1720760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops - duplicate post! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-is-going-to-start-selling-at-nordstrom#post-1720756 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 22:30:12 +0000 Banoffi 1720756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting. I've noticed they've been selling some J Crew Factory clothing at Nordstrom Rack. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-is-going-to-start-selling-at-nordstrom#post-1720744 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 21:52:51 +0000 Angie 1720744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW. Very interesting. Can't wait to see it at store level. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-is-going-to-start-selling-at-nordstrom#post-1720739 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 21:46:22 +0000 deb 1720739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-is-going-to-start-selling-at-nordstrom#post-1720730 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 21:40:03 +0000 texstyle 1720730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I imagine they will close some of their stand alone stores, which is kind of sad. But, related to the other discussion on Macy's closing stores, it seems obvious that they can't afford to keep B&amp;M stores going with the costs escalating so high for staff, space, taxes, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-is-going-to-start-selling-at-nordstrom#post-1720727 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 21:36:29 +0000 Suz 1720727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. Maybe they will close some of their own stores then, to save money.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-is-going-to-start-selling-at-nordstrom#post-1720722 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 20:58:35 +0000 Tanya 1720722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting.&nbsp; Since Nordstrom is already selling their sister line Madewell, maybe that is going well enough that they decided to expand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-is-going-to-start-selling-at-nordstrom#post-1720721 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 20:57:07 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1720721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&lt;&gt;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://fortune.com/2016/08/29/jcrew-nordstrom/">http://fortune.com/2016/08/29/jcrew-nordstrom/</a></p> <p>Apparently to try and increase sales.
