[quote=FlyerInHi]Do you think the Martha Stewart name will be worth much in the future?

I also think Abercrombie is dying a slow death. It maybe be the close enough stores to survive longterm.

About clothing, my Korean friend from college’s husband started a manufacturing business in the garment district of LA. They have like 50 employees making clothes for designers. They live on the Hollywood Hills. I heard garment is heavily Korean and Hongkonger.

A good rag to riches story is Forever 21.[/quote]

Martha Stewart? It depends – that name could become like Betty Crocker, which is now a name that is unassociated with a person. It’s all in the marketing. Abercrombie is very protective of its marks – but it’s stock has gone way down in the last four years.

I just read about Forever 21 – wow. What a heartwarming story. I don’t like the store, but clearly they are doing well.
