This is the weekly "Looking to VENT with J.Crew" post, a place to share our not-so-stellar experiences with J.Crew.
If
you have recently experienced a
frustrating situation with 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 poor experiences with
purchases & orders, promotions/ offers,
in-store visits, transactions with store
associates, etc.
Not a vent at all, just sharing an optimistic industry piece from Fashionista on J Crew’s roots in the history of “prep,” and why now could be the right time to bring back what has always been the heart of the brand’s appeal:

Ruffles, Thank you for sharing. We all share these same feelings. Really hope they can find their core and go back to it.
DeleteI really enjoyed that article. I hope the company realizes many of us want classic clothes made of fabrics that stand up to being worn (and washed) more than a season.
DeleteMUST READ the Town & Country article referenced in the Fashionista article! OMG, I relate with so much in this story, especially the bits snout the catalogs. Oh how I miss the goddamn catalogs! 😢
DeleteI miss the catalogs too but I don’t miss the paper pile up. I wish they would do a more interactive online catalog, with the clothes styled etc.

DeleteLove it.
oh my gosh that town and country article was soooo good. Thanks for sharing Suz. Yes, the old JC was "relatable, yet aspirational" all that.
DeleteI remember asking my mom for a check and then when I was 18 I could use my own. And the skinny sale catalog I would LIVE for!
DeleteIf anyone is interested in vintage Jcrew skirts. It's one of the equestrian/hound skirts NWT size 4:

Not my listing but I came across it when looking for something else. I thought someone here might want it.
An oldie but a goodie I haven't seen in a long time! I'd snatch it up if I could fit it.
