I find this move strange from a retail perspective, but what do I know?
In fact, maybe it's brilliant. I love J Crew's colors, but rarely (or never) order because of their shipping fees (victim of Amazon Prime here). But perhaps free shipping from Nordstrom will push me to try the brand more often this fall.
Since J.Crew Petites aren't in their stores, I've only ordered from them once due to S/H and their price point. Perhaps with Nordstrom free shipping and easy returns I will be more apt to try them although I am not quite their ideal straight body type.
I hope there aren't plans to close J Crew stores. There's a local J Crew store here, but no Nordstrom. I like being able to go in to J Crew and see the merchandise in person and try things on.
Hopefully J Crew Factory stores will stay open too.
Interesting, and so far I can not see any advantages to this business model. Then again, they have carried Madewell for a while, so it must have been going well enough for them to decide to expand with another line from the same parent company.
