Weekly Share: Other JCrew-like Retailers

This is the weekly "Other JCrew-like Retailers" post (similar to the "Off On A Tangent" posts), where we can share our finds from other retailers that have offerings similar to J.Crew (like Anthropologie, LE Canvas, Gap, BR, Talbots, Ann Taylor, and the like.)

If you have recently encountered items that are similar to J.Crew, maybe you might be willing to share that information with us in this post.

Please feel free to share your story on almost any topic— including experiences with certain merchandise pieces, promotions/ offers, in-store visits, transactions with store associates, etc.

    The Trina Turk for Banana Republic collection debuts June 7th. There's supposed to be a pre-sale on gilt.com today.

    A preview of the looks here:

      I was just about to comment about this! What did you think of the pieces? I was a little disappointed especially about the prices.

    I can't say enough good things about the shell clutch from Banana Republic - it is in every way exquisite. I picked it up on the 40% off sale and was sooo glad I did...

    I was walking through Macy's yesterday and spotted a Charter Club (!) top that had the exact same front placket as the JC lace placket tee. The Charter Club version is called the "three quarter sleeve cotton crochet tunic" on the Macy's web site. The JC version is definitely cuter, but it's clear that that the lace wasn't designed by their "in-house design guru," as they claim.

    Hi, everyone. I know some of you are Boden fans and they are currently running a 20% off all Women's and Johnnie b items and 25% off all men's and mini Boden items. I have more info and direct links to the sales at this blog post.

    Unfortunately this does not work towards clearance items, but if you see something in the clearance section you like, you will at least receive free shipping and returns!!! :)

    Just wondering if anyone has seen a seersucker pencil skirt elsewhere or seersucker shorts/Bermudas. I like jcrews but would consider others if they had just a little bit better tailoring. Thx!

    For Canvas, use code ICECREAM and pin 1040 for 20% off and free shipping on sale items. Some awesome deals. Also, be sure to go to the Landsend.com site and go to the sale section -- there are additional Canvas clearance items there. There have been more major markdowns on some winter items, like the merino poncho and boots, making them crazy inexpensive.

    Also anthro added a bunch to their sale section, free shipping on orders of 100 or more. Got some jack Rogers sandals for 60, hoping I like them because I'm not excited about any of jcrew's current sandals.
