StreetLevel: Swedish Fast Fashion to Invade Fulton Mall?
Intriguing…Racked is reporting via “an informant” that H&M’s second Brooklyn location (the other’s way down on Avenue U) is going to be at the Fulton Mall. If the rumor’s true, it’ll be a victory for the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership, which has been pushing for more big-name chains to sign leases at the Mall. Storecasting: H&M…

Fulton Mall also has the largest ratio of gallons of spit per square foot. It really is a beautiful place Brooklyn should be proud!
i disagree, I could never be mad at you. And I think donating to Goodwill is benevolent. I’m not sure of my unique role here but have been trying to keep the PDA’s to a minimum as of late. Anyway, I do enjoy your posts quite a bit (no flirting or a PDA intended).
I couldn’t care less about that stuff at H&M 4:29. Its got a reputation for cheap clothes because it desreves it. I’m not saying its a bad COMPANY. It has actually been a good stock longer term. But the stuff they sell, they sell to downmarket…and that’s good these days. But to say its high quality is a load of crap.
4:26, most of the people that said they don’t like fulton mall, say they do their shopping in manhattan…the comments that followed called them a snob. Most people I know shop in the city, and don’t even think about wanting to change fulton mall..I know I don’t…..so what is it? Shop somewhere you like and say you don’t like fulton mall and get called a snob for not loving fulton, or shop there and hate it, but you’re not allowed to wish it had more things for you….you’re argument doesn’t make any sense, and is a complete double standard.
sdrubbins…you are speaking way above their heads!!! Glad to have you on board…and love the “her-on-top” comment from that loft condo post
aww, biff. i don’t shop at goodwill these days, but i do donate! and don’t be mad, i’m just trying to preserve your unique role here.
Daveinbedstuy, you NEVER know what you are talking about.
I sew. I have friends in fashion. I know about clothing construction. And H&M clothes are well made. Often the skirts are lined. There are extra buttons sewn in the tags inside. The fit is excellent. The fabric contents are mostly good. The designs are very fashion-forward. Thus why people like Stella McCartney design lines there.
On the other hand, the higher priced moderate lines (Banana Republic, Gap, etc) are total crap. You can spend hundreds on sweaters in those places and they’re pilling after one day’s wear. Skirts and pants aren’t lined. The fit is heinous. The clothing designs are square and boring.
Oh and by the way, I shop at H&M and we own a brownstone debt-free. Paid cash.
Love spending less on clothes.
right on 4:22
4:16 you’re missing the point. You don’t have to like it. Lots of people don’t like it. That’s fine. The problem is when you go from “I don’t like it” to “I don’t like it, therefore it should change.”
You don’t lose anything if Fulton Mall stays the same; there are presumably plenty of places for you to shop around Brooklyn that are more to your taste. But there are a lot of people who actually like Fulton Mall, and if it changes than they do lose something. So all else being equal, it seems to me that the status quo should win out here.
But again, we know that all else is not equal, and change is the only constant around here. These discussions have an air of inevitability…
