During this new pandemic adjustment period, our needs are quite different. To some degree we’re learning as we go what’s selling online. So, if you’re wondering what to bring to us now, here’s some tips. We’re much more focused on what we take because we can’t process or move the volume that the stores do when both are open 7 days. Right now it’s just me, and thankfully now, Amanda-Jean, to double-handedly process, photo and put merchandise on the website for sale. So, we’ll probably pass on many things like solid colors or basics.
Shoppers are focused on comfortable, easy wear & care clothing. Stretchable and loose are big pluses right now. We have no market for structured or tailored career-wear or special occasion wear. We need knit tops and tunics, pull on and drawstring- waist pants. Colorful and fun patterns and details are much sought-after!
Here’s some guidelines on what is working best:
