Currently based in San Diego, California, Charlotte Russe clothing started in Carlsbad, CA in 1975. Since then, they’ve come to be known as an American clothing brand that’s trendy, stylish and targeted to women in their late teens and twenties. In case you were wondering, the company does get its name from the French dessert with the same name. The single store survived for many years in California.
In 1996, the company was bought by the investment firm of Sanders, Karp and Megrue. They were able to take the company forward, opening the store up as a chain at malls all across America. Sometimes this affects the quality of the operation, but in this case, the Charlotte Russe concept really worked well at malls where it was introduced. This says a lot about the brand.
The 3′s on shopping Charlotte Russe Clothing
There are a lot of reasons to buy this brand of clothing, but in case none come to mind, here are just a few of the reasons. If these aren’t enough to get you to even consider this clothing brand, you might be too stuck on Old Navy clothing or Hot Topic clothing.
- The Stores – When you go to one of their stores, it’s an experience – usually a good experience. With exciting and lively locations at malls all across the country, this brand makes buying clothes fun – well, more fun than buying clothes usually is by itself. Although we know how fun that is.
- The Clothes – Once you get to the stores and are overwhelmed with the liveliness, there’s still other good things to come – like the clothes. This is where you’re really going to be knocked over in shock. Not only is it fun to shop for this brand, the clothes are actually good.
- The Value – When it comes down to it, this brand is all about the value. There are other clothing companies that target women 15 to 35, but few that really deliver value for the money. This is one that delivers value. When you find a company that offers all this, it’s good to stick with them. (This is especially true if you’ve had trouble with Delias clothing or the Limited clothing in the past.)
