I had not heard this and I am always interested in things J Crew. Hopefully they don't spread themselves too thin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lower-priced-jcrew#post-1242925 Mon, 05 May 2014 23:59:21 +0000 K. Period. 1242925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm. &nbsp;I'm very wait and see. &nbsp;I thought that between Madewell and Factory they had it pretty well covered. &nbsp;I don't think a fight at the Old Navy level is worth having. &nbsp;Too close to the fast fashion sharks who I think are&nbsp;likely to eat Old Navy alive soon. &nbsp;And I base that on entirely zero knowledge, just a gut feeling. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lower-priced-jcrew#post-1242876 Mon, 05 May 2014 23:05:29 +0000 MRL 1242876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting. I wonder what the quality will be like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lower-priced-jcrew#post-1242849 Mon, 05 May 2014 22:44:55 +0000 Beth 1242849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm. I haven't loved JCrew factory either, and in the past few years&nbsp;I haven't found many regular store items to be worth their prices. Holey sweaters, twisted tee-shirts...I've defected to Boden instead.</p> <p>In my fantasy world, JCrew would improve their quality, hold steady their prices, and introduce a cut for hourglass figures. Heavenly!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lower-priced-jcrew#post-1241301 Sun, 04 May 2014 06:36:02 +0000 Jeanie 1241301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Probably Mickey Drexler putting more of his Gap thumbprint on JCrew and I agree that it may be a foray into fast fashion. &nbsp; Interesting where it will go though. &nbsp;I seem to recall in the documentary on Mickey Drexler that he thought a retailer could get too big to do things well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lower-priced-jcrew#post-1241299 Sun, 04 May 2014 05:14:57 +0000 catgirl 1241299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm.

I'm not a fan of a lower priced line. The reason why I like J Crew is for the nicer quality and cuts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lower-priced-jcrew#post-1241178 Sun, 04 May 2014 00:06:37 +0000 annagybe 1241178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JCrew is kinda weird though. For the longest time they were standard preppy wear. Then they got Jenna What'sHerName and got all hip with fancy expensive items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lower-priced-jcrew#post-1241177 Sun, 04 May 2014 00:06:22 +0000 rachylou 1241177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do find that interesting. I'm not sure what that says about the state of the economy and society. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lower-priced-jcrew#post-1241167 Sun, 04 May 2014 00:00:50 +0000 rabbit 1241167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wonder about the luxury goods market as the wealth gap widens. &nbsp; With things like clothes, &nbsp;unless one is a collector with constant wardrobe turnover, fewer people in a particular income bracket (even if some of&nbsp;them are making more money as individuals) means fewer sales probably. &nbsp; The appeal and success of fast fashion might be&nbsp;part of it too.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lower-priced-jcrew#post-1241155 Sat, 03 May 2014 23:51:09 +0000 annagybe 1241155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know about now, but for a while Old Navy made more money than Gap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lower-priced-jcrew#post-1241149 Sat, 03 May 2014 23:46:06 +0000 Jjsloane 1241149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. It will depend on the execution of it all, but obviously makes business sense to expand the market. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lower-priced-jcrew#post-1241144 Sat, 03 May 2014 23:40:25 +0000 annagybe 1241144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.refinery29.com/2014/05/67280/jcrew-mercantile?utm_source=email&amp;utm_medium=editorial&amp;utm_content=everywhere&amp;utm_campaign=140503-quitting-birth-control">http://www.refinery29.com/2014.....th-control</a> </p>
