Catalogs...

Sandy · Kate Spade

I noticed that J. Crew catalogs aren't coming as often as they used to. Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie, as well. Besides the most recent round, I can't remember the last time I received a catalog from either store. Victoria's Secret, however, is not losing any steam. I get several catalogs from them every month.

Now that you mention it, I haven't gotten any of those lately, either. But on the flip side, I seem to get Delia's cattys every other week and I've never even bought anything from there.

I don't know when Delia's became a company, but, years ago, I sent an interest card about some fragrances (probably Demeter) that I saw in a magazine. Somehow, this fragrance collection was affiliated with Delia's, and I received a ton of them for years! This is before online ordering too. Weird.

Anthro seems to be keeping it up for the most part, but JCrew has def slowed it down a bit. I remember when there used to be stacks of hundreds of copies of the JCrew cats in the dorms at Kent. Aaahhh...before we went green.

odd - I'm still getting my regular volume of J. Crew catalogs (2 in the past month or so), but I do a shameful amount of ordering from them...

I'm also getting the same amount of JCrew catalogs. I got one with Lauren Hutton on the cover a few weeks ago and just this week I got their winter resort catalog.

So I guess they must have just cut back on volume printed and mailed, but not the actual production. Now that I know they're out there I'm sad to not be getting them. I love looking at their styling.
I wonder how they decided where to send the catalogs? I hadn't bought from them in quite awhile but have placed six orders since December!

Kitty · Hermes

There's less junk mail in general these days because of the recession.

Also, no more credit card offers!!! I used to get about 10 a day, now I'm averaging only a couple a week.

The only catalogs I see coming regularly is Victoria's Secret and Urban Outfitters. Other than that I just assumed that companies stopped sending me the catalogs because I haven't ordered from them in a while.

yeah, I order from J Crew all the time, but haven't gotten one in a while... and i haven't seen an anthro one in ages!
