I went back to our LULU store yesterday for a shopping experience. At 6 PM Sunday, an hour or so before close, about 6 shoppers in a very small store. Don't know if it is small compared to others as it's the first I have been in, but rents are insane here.
What a luxurious experience. Greeted right away and catered to, intensely but delicately at the same time. Never pushy and always helpful, able to converse intelligently. The bag they put the purchase into is one I will be pleased to reuse. Free hemming on pants. Happily the two pair of pants I bought were on clearance, making them "only" $80 each. I confess I would have never bought them as running pants, but for our upcoming trip they are perfect. I love the way these pants make me feel.
This was a brief foray, but I will be back to check out their other products. Since we will be in Canada for a few weeks, will keep an eye out for stores there to pop into as well.
Maybe I've lived under a rock, but I had no idea they produced anything but yoga clothes. These are great travel clothes and they seem to be missing the opportunity to trumpet that fact. Also a market that is seemingly untapped is larger sizes. Perhaps it is the function of the small store I was in, but there were no clothes above a size 14, though they are apparently available on-line. These are clothes that need to be tried on for most buyers to reach for their wallet. If they were to go into travel clothes, that small size would eliminate half the US population.
I am not a label buyer of clothes and don't care who the designer is, but I love the way these clothes look and feel, and the shopping experience was the opposite of dreadful, which buying pants for me normally is.
