Rebecca Minkoff Hits Back After Discounted Designs Are Mocked for Being Stocked at Nordstrom Rack
Nordstrom Rack's decision to stock Rebecca Minkoff's discounted designs has drawn criticism from some shoppers.
The backlash began when shoppers noticed that Nordstrom Rack was selling Rebecca Minkoff handbags and accessories for significantly less than the original retail price. Some shoppers took to social media to express their disappointment, with some even accusing Minkoff of "selling out" to a discount retailer.
Minkoff has since responded to the criticism, defending her decision to sell her designs at Nordstrom Rack.
In a statement to The Fashion Law, Minkoff said that she is "proud" to partner with Nordstrom Rack and that she believes the partnership will allow her to reach a wider audience. She also said that she is still committed to her core customers and that she will continue to design high-quality products.
Despite Minkoff's defense, some shoppers remain skeptical of her decision to sell her designs at Nordstrom Rack.
Some shoppers believe that the partnership will damage Minkoff's brand image and that it will make it more difficult for her to sell her full-price products in the future.
