2 /5 Daughter of the King: Ugh, I really hate to write this review. But, I just bought an item here from the sales rack and I don’t think it was an ethical purchase.
There were many red flags and inconsistencies with the item and the vibe didn’t feel right.
Something just doesn’t feel right and something about the item also felt Off.
Out of all the items on the sales rack, this item doesn’t give that fresh feeling- like you bought something brand new. It looks/feels second hand.
1) This item had a weird smell.
2) It wasn’t tagged (didn’t have a tag),
3) AND when I asked if they can look it up in the system…. It wasn’t able to be found.
4) There’s frayed yarn around the button holes. And, it had tiny hole, like it was punctured.
And, it’s already fraying.
Brand new fabric shouldn’t have fraying, already, even if the fabric used for this Brand- is inexpensive.
5) If you looked closely, the fabric looks like it’s been Already in the Wash because the fabric is pilling , Already. (Which is a major Give away.)
6) the Item was being Sold, WRINKLED.
My credibility is: Throughout the years, I’ve worked at the Gap, as a Buyer-at a vintage Store, and at Levi’s. So, I have a lot of Retail experience….
I also know about fabric/Textiles and Clothing, having studied it, in School…
The girls seem cool and they did their job of selling and up selling.
… However, when it comes to being dishonest, I don’t condone that. Or, being sarcastic.
When I was sharing my thoughts and Concern- about the Item,
I was unfortunately, met with: excuses, deflection, and also some sarcasm…
-”that’s why it’s on the sales rack.”
-“Some of the items don’t have tags” (Weiiird, for a Clothing Brand Store?!)
-the smell is “from the boxes”….
(Note: if it’s a brand new item, it shouldn’t smell Funky.)
*The item was Sold without a tag, without being in the system, AND it was wrinkled. The Overall look gave a bad Impression…& Vibe.
Like -as if someone Stole an item, and Replaced it with this one.
Young people won’t care about this stuff….
But, I Do care about Integrity. And, if the Manager cares about being Professional, they would Look into, this.
I don’t feel Right about keeping the item so I will be donating it to the homeless…
