CAVEAT: There are a few things you should know about Forever21 Online Shopping
in Korea:
1. There are limited Sale Items at the Forever21 actual Stores. Why? Because Korea
has a strong online shopping culture. (We order groceries, detergents, and water online!) So it is understandable that Forever21 nurtures a big chunk of clients by offering Online Only Sale Items. :-) Which is the reason why I would rather shop
online at Forever21 than traipse to their Myeongdong Store :-)
2. Sale Items move crazy fast at Forever21. Case in point: I placed some items on
my shopping cart, then an hour later, when I was about to pay, I saw that two of the items on my cart's no longer available, they've sold out. In F21, speed ordering and a bit of patience is a virtue :-)
3. Only those who live in Korea can register with F21 Korea. It also accepts only Korean-issued Credit Cards.
Some people complain that F21 items are "cheaply made", perhaps because a lot of the items are made in China (though I bought a few shirts from F21 with the Made in USA tag, yay!), I say, it depends on what poorly made is to you. I get most of my office blazers here (and yep! I wait for the blazers to go into the SALE Section of the online site before I buy) and they are, at least for me, classy and good enough for officewear.
Make no mistake, Forever21, just like H&M, does not pretend to be a chi-chi brand. It
basks on its affordability and the ease by which it adapts fashion trends into not so
pricey fashion items that people like me can afford :-) This is a high street brand, not a designer label. And that for me (and my wallet) is a good thing ☺
Good Buys :)
