I think they are making stuff specifically for TK Maxx (a lot of brands do).

I’ve always thought that, the quality of most of the Folk stuff you get in there is shite compared to the proper stuff

Yeah it’s made for tk maxx! It all fits damn awful too. Tried a few bits on and nothing looked good

Always loads of Folk on Vinted, “new with tags” stuff. I wonder why?

Maybe it’s the TK Max gear

Good to know!

All made with much cheaper components - Ralph Lauren being the worst culprit. Folk, Edwin, Calvin Klein, Moschino, etc. I read somewhere that up to 40% of the stuff TKM stocks is ‘made to order’ specifically for them.

If you check the price tag, there is a code number ramging from 1-9 in tne right hand corner that tells you the item’s origin story.

1- it’s been made for them.
2 - unsold stock from another retailer/brand
5 - clearance item
7 - previous year’s stock
8 - genuine designer discount (iirc)

Paul Smith sell stuff in their outlet stores at Macarthur Glen that is never in the regular range.

Theory do the same but outlet/TJM prices over here are a hair’s breadth from full retail.

Some decent bits in the Auteur sale

Good knowledge. Makes sense. A friend of mine who used to run a shop in Camden always used to say that the sales items were completely different to the rest of the year
