New obsession…Heritage 1981
Okay, so I now have a new shopping obsession…Heritage 1981. Now, I have to admit I felt old having been born before 1981, but I took a deep breath and managed to enter the store to be welcomed by soooo many cute affordable pieces. Heritage is owned by Forever 21 but is a bit more of a preppy combination of Free People meets Hollister. The prices are a little bit higher ($25-$50), than Forever 21, but still cheaper than H&M. The fabrications are much nicer, i.e. yarn dyed plaids galore, heavy printed knits in fun shapes, and lots of great distressed and faded looking historical style prints. But for all of you 9-5ers there are no career clothes and absolutely no club clothes. There is a decent sized men’s section even in this pint sized King of Prussia, PA location with men’s tees priced around $12. There are a few strange overlaps between Forever 21, such as a few of the same prints in slightly different ‘bodies’, and the accessories carry Forever 21’s packaging. I’d like to be more fooled by their branching of labels, but overall I’m totally obsessed.

i felt the same way! (about the year thing) i was there about a month ago and bought a skirt i can’t wear until the summer but it was too cute (and cheap) to pass up.

This sounds like it’s right up my alley! I hope they open a store in Chicago soon.

Yesterday was my first time checking out Heritage, and I think it might be my new favorite store. It definately is a step up from Forever 21; I think the clothes are bit more unique and chic. The prices are reasonable as well.
P.S. There are in fact some shirts that you could wear to a club; My sister just bought a colorful dressy top and she wore it with a pair of their skinny jeans with really cute high heels!

I only had 5 minutes in the mall left before I had to rush out, but I glanced at Heritage and couldn’t resist going in. Even in the short time I was in there I found an awesome top and it was reasonable!

I absolutely love this store! If the closest one wasn’t an hour from where I live I would definitely apply for a job there. I never really shopped at Forever 21, but I really can’t resist going in Heritage every time I go to the Florida Mall!!

Me and my sister are so in love with this store! Our parents like it too because the clothes aren’t cheep or nasty looking. The first time we went there we kept buying so much stuff and didn’t want to leave. Heritage has a unique stlye that makes us different from everyone else. We have been going almost evey Saturday. I better save up some more money to get more things. This is now and for ever my favorite store. Thank you God for Heritage 1981!

i work for the Heritage in Texas! I also love our clothes and prices and the quality is also great. It is difficult not to spend my entire paycheck where I work!

I work at the Heritage in the King of Prussia Mall. Thanks for saying all those wonderful things. And i would definitely have to agree, because my paycheck is usually spent before its in my grasp. I love all of the clothes.
