June 24th to June 29th to be exact. You can check out the details in <a href="http://ny.racked.com/archives/2014/06/09/the_jcrew_sample_sale_that_everyone_loves_to_hate_is_coming.php" rel="nofollow">this</a> post.<br /><br />They are also reporting on a 24-Hr CFDA pop-up that will be in their NYC Prince street store starting June 12th. See the details <a href="http://ny.racked.com/archives/2014/06/10/j_crew_cfda_pop_up_shop_prince_street_public_school.php" rel="nofollow">here</a>. I wonder how well their CFDA collab is doing this year.<br /><br />And finally, there is this Dailymail UK article about the stock available at outlet and factory stores with heavy concentration on J.Crew's factory versus retail clothing. I wish some eBay sellers would read this. I know some deliberately try to pass off factory as retail but some others honestly don't know there's a difference. You can read the article <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2633044/Can-spot-difference-How-J-Crews-factory-outlet-doesnt-actually-sell-discounted-old-stock-cheap-knock-offs.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.D*skahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06231271723410897584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-19608179732880189072014-06-10T14:44:21.290-04:002014-06-10T14:44:21.290-04:00I don't have any insider news from stores (I l...I don't have any insider news from stores (I live far away from them) but I noticed some recent developments in online pricing. At least in the case of two products I noticed that there were sales that lasted less than a day. I was stalking the webpage early in the morning during the 50% final sale (the only time I can afford JCrew) and saw two tees go from $10 to $7 including discounts, just for a few hours. In the case of the vintage cotton cap-sleeve tee, it was at $7 between 5 and around 8 in the morning. I had just purchased a couple of them for $10 and was going to call to get a price adjustment but since I didn't want to wake up anybody in my home I waited until I woke up at 8-9 a.m. The price was $10 again at that time (19.99 with the 50% discount) and costumer service didn't accept the price adjustment. Maybe JCrew wants to limit sales but doesn't want to lose low budget costumers, so they only give small windows of sales, which price concerned/perseverant shoppers can access anyways if they really try...<br />Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05135768039179547394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-23815080003062615122014-06-10T14:37:32.645-04:002014-06-10T14:37:32.645-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05135768039179547394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-55812381950931449442014-06-10T12:47:26.351-04:002014-06-10T12:47:26.351-04:00Agreed - plus, I don't think that this recent ...Agreed - plus, I don't think that this recent practice of excluding new arrivals from promotions is helping any. If I see something new with the red "EXCLUDED FROM PROMO" in my cart, I just turf it to my wishlist where it sit until it either goes on sale or I lose interest. <br /><br />Regarding Madewell, I'm also liking their stuff more but there are few promos (and even fewer global promos) and things go to Final Sale on first markdown. However, when I have purchased (and I think the free ship/no minimum is a HUGE plus) I often have no regrets, am not checking the website constantly to see if it's been marked down, etc. I buy, wear, and enjoy. silver_lininghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11145331294538875917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-17302365906093942912014-06-10T12:22:35.085-04:002014-06-10T12:22:35.085-04:00It's a good concept, but I agree with others t...It's a good concept, but I agree with others that I'm not buying because the original prices are too high and the offerings just aren't what I'm looking for.
