We all knew the day was coming, right? Lulu has finally raised their prices on some of their most popular items by $10 at least. I think the Wunder Puff items have gone up even more than that, but I can't recall the exact prices last year. Is the price increase due to tariffs? I think that's pretty likely. Or is it because their sales are down and this is one way to help bring those numbers back up? Maybe. I've bought a total of three items from Lululemon this year, which is an all time low for me. I used to buy three items a month back in the day (2016). How do you all feel about this, does it change anything for you? I think this group as a whole has shopped less from Lululemon and shifted to other brands like Athleta. Although Athleta has been pretty boring lately for me. I keep looking at Varley. I may have to finally place an order and give them a go. Now that Lulu has increased their prices, it's about the same as Varley!
In other news, halfway through the no-buy challenge and it's going well. My wishlist has a few items on it, but not much I'm super interested in.
($268 EEK!)
(This is a really nice green.)
(Cute, but I wonder if it's very itchy.)
($348 I'm pretty sure this went up a bit.)
(Extra $10 which means $150 after taxes for me now.)
(This whole outfit is so cute.)
Hi Leslie,
ReplyDeleteThe Wunder Puff 600 Down Fill Jacket was priced at Canadian dollars $298 last year and it’s now $348! We shall see more price increases in the next few months which will greatly affect retail sales …

Hi Andrea! OMG I think it was $278 last year for the Wunder Puff Cropped jacket. Now it's $348! Wow, what a huge jump. The vest used to be $228 and now it is $268! Ouch. I'm glad I have my vest. Never bought the jacket though because I always looked too much like a marshmallow. I am very curious to see how the holiday season will look. 😐
DeleteI’m not a vest person and glad I got the Wunder Puff Down Jacket in three colors - Heathered Plumful, Heathered Wild Indigo and Oil Gray. They are light, warm and super cute, just perfect for our Canadian winters. :)

I don't have much use for a full down jacket living in the south, but I would probably have kept one if I still lived in the northeast. I love Heathered Plumful, def one of my favorites! So glad you have one!
DeleteWow those prices are way too much for me I will only buy WMTM from now on… unless I really really love the item -Janessa
ReplyDeleteHi Janessa! 100% agree. I hope I can snag another waffle hoodie on markdown.
DeleteThe price increases are crazy but expected. (I do wish I had ordered a few things before they went up, though!) It is nice to see regular Aligns are still holding strong at $98. As I've mentioned before, I would be more okay with increases if quality stayed the same, but it's going down at the same time.
ReplyDeleteHi LZ! Agree, at least then we would understand the price increases if the quality stayed the same, but we all know this is not the case. ☹️
