Shopping Abercrombie Fitch ?something about abercrombie

Instead of the storefront being floor to ceiling windows, it looks like a brick mansion that you’d find in Greenwich Village. Right down to the wrought iron fence, concrete walkway, subway/air grates and doors that look like they could come right from an a building in Greenwich Village.There are only 25 Ruehl stores in the US today, and anyone who has ever visited one will admit – its a VERY unique store.abercrombie and fitch
The amount of detail that was designed into these stores was amazing – and the prices of the clothes did reflect that, but it really made you feel part of the story, made you feel part of the clothes – made you part of the experience, something that you will never get at The Gap, or Express.

This article may be a bit off topic for my regular followers – and for that I apologize, but I wanted to chime in on the news that abercrombie and fitch has decided to close their Ruehl concept stores throughout America.About 5 years ago Abercrombie launched a new concept – Ruehl 925 – the premise was the store was based in Greenwich Village NYC, in the mansion of a rich family with the surname “Ruehl”. The clothes were somewhat Abercrombie-like, but had a much more adult feel, were still a little expensive, but overall seemed to be less expensive than abercrombie and fitch.When I was younger – I definitely fell for the whole Abercrombie & Fitch look, the smell of the stores and just the overall “coolness” that seemed to exude from the brand, the clothes and the stores. As I got older, I realized I hated paying as much as I did for the clothes from abercrombie and fitch, they always seemed to shrink, and the styles just seemed to continue to look more and more ridiculous.You wouldn’t find a jacket and tie appropriate for a business meeting at Ruehl, but you could easily find leisure or “going out” clothes that were eons away from the Guess/Armani Exchange look.
