- aaronbrethorst 12y agoI'm guessing they're going to get a C&D on their name before too long: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_(clothing_retailer) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_(clothing_retailer)
- ninguem2 12y agoInteresting to see that associating a mathematical term to a fashion company is no longer a bad idea.
- jabelk 12y agoTIL that there is a market for $150 purple/red/yellow plaid shirts.
- mikeyouse 12y agoDid you miss when Nordstrom bought Trunkclub for $350M last week? There's definitely a market for high-end clothing. http://techcrunch.com/2014/07/31/nordstrom-acquires-mens-shopping-service-trunk-club/ http://techcrunch.com/2014/07/31/nordstrom-acquires-mens-sho...
- colbyh 12y agoIt'll be interesting to see how this develops. I'm a little worried that people's first inclination will be to always offer half of everything and hope it goes through, which might cause the sellers to simply raise their prices on the site. Focusing on luxury goods is also a bit of a gamble because the people that buy they are generally savvy enough to watch for sales themselves (which often go far beyond 50% off). That being said, this space desperately needs innovation and I hope I'm wrong about all of the points above!
