Is cheap crap for 60+ age bracket.

Really? My tween girl loves their handbags and beach stuff with the prints of different places. I didn’t know they made clothes. This brand came out of the blue to us.

I’d love more insight on it if you like. Had no idea it was targeted to to older set. Lol.

What insight do you need? It is an old Betty brand. Great social marketing done by two woman on Daufuskie Island SC that blew up into a national brand. It is actually Spartina 449, Spartina for the coastal grass, 449 cottage address on Daufuskie. It is kind of the southern equivalent of Coach, soccer moms who want to carry a brand on their shoulder and not drop change on European fashion house bag and older woman who want to feel young and carry “cute” yet tacky stuff.

Ok. Thanks. I still think it’s cute stuff. I got my girl a nice tote she uses for sleepovers. Love their stuff. I’ve never seen an old woman use it.

It’s fine for little girl, it’s trendy. If I was spending that much on a tote I would get something that she could transition into teen years with, like Tumi or Mandarina Duck.

I've never seen a teen with Tumi. It's a great brand, but it's very clearly geared at professional working women.

Yes, I’d never buy it for a teen. Frankly, I think it’s a bit fusty, and I’m 42.

Right. Tumi luggage is not for a teen going to a sleepover. It's for a McKinsey consultant on work travel.

I can’t believe I’m about to say this. I am a fashion hound and actually thought the stuff was kind of cute. Then again, I love Daufuskie Island. It’s my favorite place on earth.

The stuff is cute! I don't think it is targeted to older women. I have several of their bags and have gotten tons of compliments of them. Some of their designs are not my taste, but some are. I am in my 40s.

Second this and Tuckernuck

Tuckernuck is selling an image- not quality clothes. It's all cheaply made and priced "preppy"

Rhoback for younger males.

I don’t think any of their inventory is made in China. Everything I’ve ordered has been outstanding quality and either made in US or Europe. Very classic well made everything.

I live in NYC and I've never heard of this brand or Tuckernuck. Just checked their sites and the clothes are awful. I imagine this is what dressing well looks like in North Carolina or West Palm Beach maybe? Not my definition of preppy I guess.
