Coldwater Creek is Back!

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

I always enjoyed CC before they opened their stores. I had a store in my nearby mall and only shopped there once. Their prices were outrageous! Styles fuddy duddy. Maybe I'll prefer them on-line again?

I liked them years ago when they were very rustic. Not so much since.

The fashions seem a little more updated now

That's interesting.

One of the local CC employees told me that CC was in so much debt that no one wanted to bail them out. Guess they found someone after all.

I checked out the website and their fashions are very similar to Talbots although CWC denies they are held by the same company. There will not be any retail stores, according to the website, so I find it laughable that they have a link for 'careers'.

My understanding is that when Coldwater Creek went out of business, they sold their name and branding to Talbot's. The new website launch is actually from Talbot's. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Talbot's is a good brand, although quite conservative and rather expensive. What remains to be seen is if the merchandise will be of comparable quality and value to the original CC. It's bound to be different in some ways. We certainly don't need a clone of Talbot's. I'm hoping...

Hmm, not sure I'd have termed the earlier styles rustic, at least, not in all cases. But they were definitely more interesting and a lot less generic in the 1990's and early 2000's.

They did use to use a bit of western styling occasionally, come to think of it. But I have some older dresses I still wear on occasion, long-sleeved knits with a flared skirt, that are over ten years old, and I still get compliments whenever I wear them. That's the kind of thing I miss. Oh, and my leather tan and black print duster! Still love that, too.

Come on, CC, we already have Talbot's - show us something different! (And I say that as a Talbot's customer.)

For years, I bought 90% of my clothes at CC. Then their quality and style went kaput. I've found other places to shop and I'm not going back.
