My friend and I would shop there all the time, in the 80s and 90s. Like you say, the clothing was very nice and usually on the pricey side. (We always shopped the sale rack, lol) I still have many pieces of clothing I bought from them, that I still wear. Same story with the GAP. Had cute sports wear that was well made. Then both stores changed their target market I guess. I know I got older, but what they started offering was just not appealing anymore. And just not the same quality. Sad.
