I've only ever heard of two on this list. Interesting.
Also to note there's shockingly low diversity in footwear and phone choices. Why is the teen market such a winner take all environment?
- darkwizard42 4y agoCouldn’t tell you about Pacsun’s popularity, but SHEIN is the fast fashion of fast fashion. Absolutely dirt cheap copycat apparel shipped from China with a very liberal return policy. Lulu and Nike seem very status-oriented and I believe they don’t list on Amazon directly so makes sense there.

- AlexThrowAway 4y agoSHEIN has a small run just in time manufacturing model. They carry less than a day of inventory of many items and consolidate and airmail from warehouses next to their Chinese factories. H&M and Zara cannot compete. They order three months ahead, have six months of stock sitting on slow sea freight or in stores, and discard a massive amount of clothing from their stores at the end of season.
