I went by the Lulu store in our area to check it out. Have to admit that the clothes are quite nice, but as you know with an eye popping price tag. Liked the men's clothes as well, and the men's slacks look fantastic for travel. I may pop back in when I have more time and actually try some clothes on. Also chatted with one of the employees for a few minutes. She loves working there, having started as part time and 18 months later is in what is essentially a supervisor position. (Granted, she is 19 and has the life experience of a gnat, so big caveat on those rose colored glasses.) Said she is heading to college shortly, and they are working with her schedule so that she can both work and go to school. She got hooked on the brand from her mom, who gives her 4 girls the hand me downs, which they gratefully accept. (Teens gratefully accepting hand me downs from a parent is atypical, FYI.) Stated she gets good benefits, but again, 19, so what does she know. Store was crazy well organized, staff was very attentive. I left thinking they should really market this stuff for those who travel lightly, as it seemed as though you could wash it in the sink and hang to dry.
I asked if they still do the repairs on clothing, which according to a friend used to be a lifetime thing. They do not. They will replace if there is an issue in the first year. Great way to keep tabs on quality of product.
