Madewell's No.1 Reason To Love Fall

Madewell sent an email letting us know that the new Fall season has arrived at their stores.
Madewell is also offering customers 20% off on any Madewell order. There are no minimums. The offer expires 9/22/08. To take advantage of this offer (click here) call 866.544.1937 and mention the "20% People StyleWatch offer" or the promo code STYLEWATCH.

As mentioned previously (click here), the Madewell e-commerce site that was expected to open this summer is now delayed until early next year (because of the system upgrade).

Personally, I am not a big fan of Madewell. I have been in only one store and was unimpressed by its offerings. I felt like the Madewell basics were fine, but I was better off with the basics that J.Crew offers me (both in terms of quality and price point). I also prefer the jackets offered by J.Crew- which are better detailed and crafted than Madewell's simplistic (yet still as expensive) design. As mentioned before, I just don't think I am the target market Madewell is after. :)

Have you ordered anything from Madewell? If so, how was the experience? Would you purchase from Madewell or do you prefer J.Crew? Are you planning to take advantage of the Style Watch offer?
