[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seemed higher end to me circa 1980 when my aunt was the only person I knew who had the catalogue and every time we went to her house I’d page through it and wish I could have Gloria Vanderbilt jeans.[/quote]

It was a great catalogue. My mom was on the mailing list. She was a SAHM in a 5 bedroom colonial in a DC suburb with kids in private school and a breadwinner husband with a white collar career. My mom also shopped at Lord & Taylor, Bloomingdales, and Woodies/Hechts/Macys. [/quote]

PP with the long post.  Yes, this is a person from a demographic who would buy bridge sportswear.  Core UMC department store shopper.  Too financially prudent to shop in the Saks/Neiman Marcus price range.  If they wanted that price range for a special occasion, they might have moved to the most expensive brands at their customary store.  Generations earlier, this demographic might have considered owning at least one fur.  Like a mink jacket.[/quote]
