I hope that SFAM's quality stays the same and the don't start selling directly to Costco. I hope that the business doesn't change their suppliers, because SFAM has their denim dyed by my cousin's husband. Yes, the apparel industry in L.A. is a small, and can be close knit community depending on the people.

I think once Liz Claiborne bought Lucky dungerees, Luckys started being stocked on a regular basis at Costco locations

Have you ever noticed that some or the high end jeans are carried only by Costco online? Such as AG and Rock & Republic. Those two brands DO NOT SELL DIRECTLY TO COSTCO. AG actually filed litigation documents to determine how they got the jeans from & costco refused to give AG an answer claiming it is a Costco Trade Secret???!!! Whatever!

We think it may be a couple of vendors who purchase directly from AG to stock their Bricks & Mortar boutique and sold their stock of AG & ROCK & REPUBLIC to Costco that was not moving.
