Bonobos now to be sold at Nordstrom?

[jackieadkins3]

Has anyone else seen the news that Bonobos raised $16.4 million more from a group led by Nordstrom? Apparently one of the results of this is that some of their clothes will now be available on nordstrom.com and in stores. Full article at http://tcrn.ch/HCVwJr.


Maybe why they've cut back on their Groupons and discount codes lately? Curious to hear what everyone makes of this.

Here's more, from the New York Times:

That tracks with the recent trend of increased prices and fewer discounts/coupons. Nordstrom is a pseudo-luxury retailer so Bonobos needs to present itself as a luxury maker in order to fit in - and luxury makers don't offer $50 for $100 deals on Groupon every three seconds.


I rarely (read: never) shop at Nordstrom but it will be interesting to see if any of this stuff manages to trickle down to Nordstrom Rack.

Even with the great return policy, I'm not going to order 50 things and send 45 back. So it will be nice to try the stuff on in a store and either buy at the store or online. But without sales, deal sites or coupons, I'm not going to buy much Bonobos anyway.

Andy said that they're only going to start with some washed chinos in store -- I wouldn't expect the entire Bonobos lineup to move to Nordstrom anytime soon.

It looks like their discount codes no longer work. Sad day. Anyone have any that do still work? I've had items in my cart a couple of days and would like to get that 20% off!

I'm actually pretty happy for the Bonobos guys. It's nice to see a startup "make it." It seems like their idea of pushing sale codes and other types of promotion has really paid off.

I'm glad they are 'moving on up'...good guys, great clothes.
