The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Lululemon IS a luxury brand. Their yoga clothes always were and still are not targeting the mass consumer. It´s a status symbol, for people who are/think they are/want to be elite --- and are willing to spend a fortune for that. This goes so far that the founder once got in trouble saying not every woman has the body to wear their pants (meaning the McDonalds/Burger King etc. mass customer).

A Yogini showing Lulu´s symbol on her pants (it´s always a "her") signals "I am loaded and I am elite".

So actually what you say confirms me in Lulu being interesting indeed, as wealth is more and more common in China and India.
