Abercrombie has come a long way in recent years. The brand that was once known for its lack of inclusivity and questionable business practices has slowly been earning back the trust of its customers since its rebrand. Now, Abercrombie & Fitch has once again become a go-to shopping destination to find fashion essentials that people actually want – ditching heavy logos and an overall “fraternity” aesthetic for wearable, more sophisticated closet staples. In 2021, it launched its famous Curve Love Fit, and a range of extended sizing, signaling that it was (finally) ready to embrace inclusivity.
Now that Abercrombie has earned its way back into public graces, having established a large cult following on TikTok, specifically. It’s no secret that the brand has grown into a popular shopping hub for trendy styles and wardrobe basics alike. But before you fill your shopping bag and click “checkout,” – there are some tips and secrets you need to know to get the most out of your experience.
You need to know these Abercrombie & Fitch shopping secrets!
Popular Items Sell Out Fast
If you’ve ever visited the Abercrombie site looking forward to buying an item you were recommended by your fave TikToker, chances are, it’s already sold out. Sizes of popular items are notorious for selling out fast. But they do almost always come back in stock, so be sure to check back often.
Curate a List
When shopping online (or in-app), you can add items to your list to keep tabs on them with ease. This is an especially useful tool for those sold-out items you want to keep an eye on!
Check For Stackable Coupons
You may remember a couple of years back, Abercrombie had a major viral moment with its stackable coupon “glitch.” Customers were getting hauls of clothing for mere dollars (guilty as charged). Although nothing with as significant of savings has seemed to happen since, there are still times when certain coupons are stackable. So it’s always worth a try!
Wait For A Sale
Abercrombie is no stranger to a promotion or sale. While some items you may want to act fast on so they don’t sell out – some pieces are worth waiting until they to go on sale. The brand’s sales are usually pretty great, too (and are held often)!
Keep Tabs On Socials
As we mentioned above, Abercrombie has quite the social media following. Find social accounts that share sale updates and other valuable information to always have the inside scoop. For example, @influencedby_ on TikTok is always sharing sale alerts, and A&F is definitely on her radar.
Create A myABERCROMBIE Account & Subscribe To Emails
As with any retailer or brand, you are going to want to subscribe to Abercrombie’s email list to get exclusive offers and stay up to date on new arrivals. Plus, if you make a myABERCROMBIE account, you’ll earn points as you shop and get exclusive member discounts from time to time. Members can earn up to 100,000 myAbercrombie points (or $400 value in Rewards) per calendar year. After spending $500 in a year, you automatically get VIP status – which comes with even more perks.
Enjoy Free Returns
Whether you purchased online or in-store, you have 30 days to return your items in their original condition for a full refund. Just be sure to keep your receipt!
Get Free Shipping When You Spend $90
Abercrombie seems to always be offering free shipping if you spend $90 or more. While you may not want to spend $90 in order to get free shipping, you’ll find it’s not all that hard to do. Wait until your cart hits the mark to press the checkout button to save some extra dollars!
Explore Its Curve Love Fit
If you’ve ever struggled to find your perfect fit that provides room in the hips and thighs yet still hugs your waist in the right way, Abercrombie’s Curve Love is about to be your new best friend. The line features additional room (two extra inches) through the hip and thigh for curve-hugging comfort. The fit is great for curvy gals in standard or plus sizes.
Get Your Perfect Hem Length
One of Abercrombies saving graces is that it offers extra short, short, regular, long, and extra long sizing for its bottoms. We, as humans, come in all different heights, after all, so shouldn’t our pants, too? A&F says yes.

Abercrombie & Fitch started out as a luxury outdoorsy brand in 1892. It mostly sold camping and hunting equipment for elite, upper-class men.
The documentary, White Hot: The Rise & Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch, starts by describing how during its rebrand in the 90s and early 2000s, A&F became THE retailer for all-American teens and young adults.
By ‘All American’, they’re of course referring to upper class, boarding school, waspy white kids. The women were thin and blonde and the men were tall, muscular, and fit. Instead of just selling clothes, they were selling an idea: if you wear A&F, you too can be popular, beautiful, fit, and rich, just like the people in the ads. Instead of looking up to an unattainable celebrity, they wanted people to look up to these attainable faces in their campaigns.
Instagram/@fashionhr
This ‘idea’ was represented by the “Hot Naked White Men” that adorned the shopping bags that high school girls would later cut up and paste to the inside of their lockers. It was represented by the staff that worked at the stores – they were never judged on their sales or their politeness to customers, only by their looks and being white.
This was a company built on exclusion.
By 2015, discrimination of race and size was seen as a “stupid business decision”. Abercrombie & Fitch was getting terrible press for the exclusionary tactics they prided themselves on for so many years and even lost a case in court for refusing to hire a woman who wore a headscarf. Something here needed to change.
Instagram/@allieweber
Fran Horowitz replaced the white male CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch in 2017. Her goal was to “wipe clean” the brand’s history and start fresh as a brand that embraces everyone, including plus sizes. The “cool kids” that A&F once went after were now described as “anybody and everybody”. Today, tons of plus-size and POC influencers now call A&F one of their favourite brands.
Whether this continues to be tokenism – a business decision to increase profit and reputation – or a true change in company values, remains to be seen.
“[Abercrombie & Fitch] didn’t invent evil. They didn’t invent class. They just packaged it.”

Bean at the retailer’s first Canadian location at Oakville Place!

Now the brand exudes effortless style that’s full of versatile, trendy, and relaxed pieces.

A&F’s has a commitment to providing customers with lasting quality and exceptional comfort and that’s what really makes this brand stand out.

Levi’s
While Levi’s is probably most known for its jeans and super cool denim, the brand actually has a wide range of other items and has recently expanded to include accessories as well. Levi’s has the same laidback, comfortable feel as Roots does and we love how the brand manages to maintain a hint of a vintage inspo, while still feeling perfectly up to date. The quality manufacturing creates timeless, classic items that are designed to outlast the stressors of day to day wear. Like the brand tagline says, these products are meant to be lived in – not just worn.

Patagonia
Patagonia is famous for its iconic fleece sweaters and zip-ups, vests, jackets, and stylish high-end outdoor gear. Although the brand is definitely a pricier alternative to Roots, you’ll have these pieces for years to come.
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, many retailers are stepping up and taking preventative measures to put the safety of its workers and consumers first.

Over the past few years, Canada has seen some many once-beloved stores shutter locations or shut down business for good.
Just last year, we said goodbye to retailers like Bombay Company and Bowring Brothers, Nine West, and Jean Machine to name a few. And the retail apocalypse has already claimed many victims in 2019.
As we’ve done in past years, we are keeping a watchful eye on the retail store closures and bankruptcies that affect the Canadian market.
Below you’ll find a list of all the brands and retailers that have closed stores or filed for bankruptcy in 2019.
Note: This article will be updated as more stores and brands announce filings and closures.
Gymboree
Gymboree filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy for the first time in 2017. And just when the retailer thought it had escaped trouble successfully, in January 2019 the retailer successfully filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy once again. Industry experts blamed the children wear brand’s demise on the fact that Gymboree Group’s own collection of brands were competing against each other. After 40 years in business, Canadians will be saying goodbye to Gymboree for good as they shutter all Canadian locations.
Payless ShoeSource
In February 2019, Payless ShoeSource filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy for the second time in two years. But this time around, instead of launching a turnaround plan, the discount shoe retailer announced that it would be closing all North American locations including 248 stores across Canada.
H&M
For shoppers, H&M’s announcement of 160 store closures across the globe came as a shock. However for those in the industry, it was a decision that had to be made. The fast fashion retailer fell victim to inventory bloating, forcing H&M to slash prices in order to move product. In 2018, the conglomerate shuttered its Cheap Monday brand. And in February the company announced that it would be shuttering locations over the span of the year. Fortunately for H&M fans, the company will continue to open stores at the same time with a net of 175 new stores — however, it’s rumoured that Torontonians might be saying goodbye to the retailer’s Bloor St. location.
Home Outfitters
In February 2019, famed Canadian retailer Hudson’s Bay announced that it would be shuttering all Home Outfitters locations — 37 stores across Canada. In the same announcement, HBC announced that it would be analyzing its Saks Off Fifth locations and shuttering a number of its stores in the U.S. While no Saks Off Fifth closures have been announced in Canada, one thing’s certain: the retail landscape is ever-changing and we never know which retailer the apocalypse will claim as its next victim.
Gap
After years of struggle and constant markdowns, it came to no surprise when Gap announced massive closures were coming to North American stores. In March 2019, the company shared that it would shutter 230 stores in the U.S. and Canada. The mall staple also announced that it would be separating from sister brand Old Navy in order to better focus on both brands.
Victoria’s Secret
Over the years, Victoria’s Secret has seen a decline in popularity, with publishers like Forbes declaring that the company has “lost its sexy.” In March 2019, the Victoria’s Secret announced that it would be closing 53 stores across North America, up from 30 stores closed in 2018. While it has not been announced whether the decision will affect Canadian shoppers, we can confirm that we haven’t seen the end of the brand yet. With two new CEOs, the company plans to turn business around.
Diesel
In March 2019, Diesel jeans filed for bankruptcy. The company attributes the decision to falling sales, a failed turnaround, and expensive leases, as well as instances of cyber fraud and theft. But unlike other retailers and brands in similar positions, Diesel will not be shuttering stores. Instead the brand has a three year turnaround plan which includes reimagining current stores to lower operational costs and better marketing.
Green Earth
In March, Ontario-based Green Earth announced that it would be liquidating all 29 of its locations, offering discounts of 40-80% on all merchandise which includes candles, jewelry, and many more giftables. The company, which has been operating since 1990, felt pressure from problems similar to many stores facing problems: reduced mall traffic and growing competition. Green Earth filed a notice of intention to make a proposal under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act on March 4, 2019.
J.Crew
Though it launched in Canada with great success, the American retailer has been quietly closing stores across the country over the past few years. The most recent store closures include a number of Toronto-area locations, as well as CF Chinook Centre in Calgary. Retail Dive reports that executives at J.Crew will “continue to rationalize its footprint” and plan to close 20 J.Crew and factory stores by the end of 2019. With stores in Canada slowly disappearing, it will be interesting to see what’s ahead for the brand.
Forever 21
Earlier in 2019, Forever 21 closed its Yonge and Dundas flagship store, which didn’t seem like a big deal considering the brand already had another location inside CF Toronto Eaton Centre. But at the end of summer, word that the Los Angeles-based fast fashion retailer was struggling started spreading. At the end of September, the retailer announced that it would be closing all 44 of its Canadian locations and exiting the country altogether.
Lowe’s and Rona
At the end of November 2019, home improvement chain Lowe’s Canada announced that it would be shuttering stores across Canada in order to improve overall performance. The closures will affect 34 underperforming Lowe’s and Rona stores.
Bouclair
Another retailer that announced closures in November 2019 is Montreal-based Bouclair. The home decor retailer filed notices of intention to make a proposal under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, and has been acquired by Alston Investment Inc. Of Bouclair’s total locations, 60 will remain open, while 29 across Canada will close.
Bentley Leathers
In December 2019, Montreal-based Bentley Leathers successfully entered a restructuring agreement, which includes the plan to close 90 underperforming stores across Canada. While underperforming stores are closing, the retailer will continue to open its concepts stores, which are sleeker and more modern.
Motherhood Maternity
After Destination Maternity filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the U.S. in the fall of 2019, the company’s name, website, and operating assets were acquired by Marquee Brands LLC. However, all stores were announced to close across North America, including 29 Motherhood Maternity and Destination Maternity stores in Canada.

We are now coming into the second month of 2018 and as always, It’s survival of the fittest when it comes to Canadian retail. While some struggling brands manage to restructure and optimize operations following filing for bankruptcy protection, others are left swirling in a downward spiral toward being obsolete. We hate to see retail closures result in layoffs, liquidations and losses, but there are a few big brands that may just be headed in that direction come 2018. The truth is, retailers are struggling and these stores might be in trouble. Keep reading for all of the details.
Michael Kors
We reported in May 2017 that Michael Kors had plans to close over 100 stores due to declining sales. Stores on the chopping block have not yet been revealed. Industry experts say that the drop in sales is a result of the brand’s decrease in perceived value. Michael Kors has discounted handbags in an effort to target value-driven shoppers, at the same time losing their luxury appeal.
Toys “R” Us
Toys “R” Us made headlines in September 2017 with the announcement of filing for bankruptcy protection. This major toy retailer has no plans to close stores. However, this will likely be determined following 2017 Q4 results from a successful (or lacklustre) holiday sales season. Toy “R” Us currently operates 82 stores in Canada.
Gap and Banana Republic
GAP Inc. announced in September 2017 that they would be closing 200 Gap and Banana Republic stores over the next three year. Striving brands Old Navy and Athleta will see new 270 stores open.
Tip Top Tailors
With big debt looming and a bankruptcy protection announcement in January 2017, Tip Top Tailors owner Grafton-Fraser Inc. felt pressure to restructure earlier this year. In June 2017, twelve underperforming store locations closed following the sale of the business to GSO Capital Partners. With hundreds of jobs lost with the handful of closures, who knows what other changes this retailer will see under its new ownership?
Abercrombie & Fitch
Once a mall-goer’s destination, Abercrombie and Fitch is now a fading memory of collegiate style. Since 2015, the number of A&F Stores across North America has dwindled despite efforts to reinvigorate the brand.
Ann Taylor, LOFT and Justice
An announcement by Ascena Retail Group to indefinitely close between 250 and 650 stores by July 2019 will shock the retail landscape. Ascena Retail Group, the owner of retail brands operating in Canada such as Ann Taylor, LOFT and Justice, is hoping to close stores in an effort to reduce costs and pursue rent breaks with landlords to keep remaining stores open.
Jean Machine
In January 2017, Canadian denim emporium Jean Machine filed for bankruptcy protection. In March 2017, Jean Machine was purchased by Comark Services Inc. to save the struggling retailer. With 30 locations across Ontario, new owners plan to reinvigorate stores with brighter lighting and paint. Time can only tell if the changes are successful.
Will you be sad if any of these struggling brands close their doors in Canada?
