I remember when I was first put on to this store. It was just a tiny, hole in the wall kinda spot in SoHo. Never really was too crowded in there. I fell in love with because the quality of their garments has yet to be matched by any American shop especially in this price range. You could find anything you needed — All of your basics, tees, jeans, hoodys, socks were there and in abundance.
Maybe about 6 months ago, this little shop has turned in to a SoHo powerhouse by expanding and opening up its New York Flagship store. Its HUGE to say the least. Close to 4 floors of MADNESS.
Its still one of my favorite stores to stop in randomly but now its a whole new deal. Its almost too big. I wear a fairly popular size and even though the store is gigantic now, It’s damn near impossible to find things in my size there. Even basics stuff like undershirts — SOLD OUT. Its ridiculous. I miss when I could just stroll on in right after work, know what I’m getting and be out in about 30mins. Now its like at least a 1 hour ordeal if you try to go in on a mid-Saturday. Long lines No sizes, and large crowds of people from all over the place. Don’t get me wrong I’m proud of the success the place has seen over the past few months. They practically shut down SoHo opening day last fall, but boy do I miss the exclusivity and size LG.
