J.Crew is a mult-brand fashion retailer. They started out as a high-end fashion boutique which specializes in elegant wear but at a much lower price point. But now they sells almost every single fashion item you can find - clothings like swimwear, loungewear, smartwear, for weddings, shoes, handbags, accessories and so on, catering to a wider range of customers. Their style is refreshing chic with shade of class. I don't know what that means actually. They currently have over 200 retail stores and over 80 factory outlets in the United States. Every year, they distribute 24 editions of this J.Crew catalog to their customers and they claim that they have sent over 80 million copies. They even sent these catalogs to potential customers in Asia and Europe. Although I won't say that they are very well-known around the world, but at the rate they are expanding, it will just a matter of time before they become famous. And seriously, what is there not to like about their designs?
