    Ardene

    Ardene est un magasin où j'ai magasiner souvent plus jeune. J'y fait quelques fois encore des découvertes aujourd'hui à petit prix. Il y vendent des bijoux, lingeries, vêtements, chaussures, etc... je trouve que la qualité des vêtements est bien, mais les chaussures un peu moins. Mais en géneral, c'est une boutique que j'aime bien et qui est plaisant à aller magasiner.

    Ardene's has been a place that I have shopped at since I was a little kid. The store has everything you need if you want some cheap fashion pieces. You can choose from tons of earrings, necklaces, bracelets, body peircing jewelry, sandles, bathing suits, clothes, PJ's, dresses, summer outfits and so much more. I bought 5 bathing suits there last year all for 40$ bucks and they are pretty good quality. I had zero issues of the color fading or anything falling apart. I don't buy there jewelry anymore as it infects my ears and tarnishes on my skin but its perfect for a little girl who wants too play dress up.

    I always noticed that they did extend there store too having clothing as well. It just used too be jewelry but now they sell clothing and shoes as well. Shoes seem too be of poor quality. I bought some for 8 bucks and they broke within a couple days not too mention I got a couple blisters from wearing them. They also pierce ears here as well. I have gotten a couple done here when I was younger. Probably wouldn't recommend it as piercing ears with a gun does more damage too the cartilage then a needle does.

    If your looking for a great price on so-so quality of apparel and jewelry this is the store for you

    I love this store. I have a 12 year old girl and sales are great. Prices are fair and mix and matching the store gives lots of options for multiple items. I love how easy the store is to find and multiple stores in our area.

    The prices at Ardene's are by far the best thing about this store.
    I find the shoes from here are extremely uncomfortable and poor quality.
    I don't mind purchasing hair accessories or socks etc. from here though
    because the price is decent. But I purchased a shirt from there and I
    was super disappointing. The seams were coming apart after one wear
    and the shirt ending up not looking flattering on me at all.

    I use to work here and it was a nightmare... the only good thing was getting cheap accessories even cheaper.
    always cute stuff but having to deal with people coming in and disrespecting the store because it's "cheap" drove me up the wall. Also theres a shoplifting problem there.... gotta keep you eyes open at all times.

    They have pretty good deals and discounts . Sometimes their boots and accessories go on sale and they are ridiculously cheap. Their customer service is ok but the smell of the store is unpleasant. It smells like plastic at times. I bought a pair of shorts from their MOVE collection and I love wearing them. They are very comfortable and great for jogging.

    I like the deals you can find in store sometimes!! Can be hit & miss though! Some stores feel cramped with too much stock.

    Gotta say I love Ardene! I could be a little bias because I used to be an assistant manager there but still! Prices cant be beat and its the best place around for fun and funky stuff! A lot of Ardene stores are getting pretty heavy into the clothing side of buisness, the only downside to it is that the clothing fit SUPER SMALL so keep that in mind! If you are usually a side M you would be a L to XL in an Ardene size. Also, dont expect the most fantastic quality of merchandise because with everything in life you get what you pay for. You cant expect earings that are 3 for $10 to last you a lifetime. Also I do find their exchange policy a little over the top to partially insane. Still a great place to go if you are on a budget or need some fun costume ideas and accessories! Also great for proms and graduations!

    I used to work at an Ardene store. If you care at all about the environment or the ethical treatment of animals DO NOT SHOP AT ARDENE STORES.

    Environment:
    Every item shipped from China, the Philippines, or India is either double or triple wrapped in clear plastic bags that are not accepted by any plastic recycling facilities (trust me I looked). ALL of that plastic is thrown out. At least a couple big garbage bags stuffed a week.
    Every item of clothing to be hung is shipped to the stores with a plastic hanger already attached. The hanger is used once and then thrown out. Depending on the size of the store hundreds of hangers are thrown out every week.

    Ethical treatment of animals:
    Recently, Ardene stores (including the one I used to work at) began selling real fur hair accessories from China. The Chinese fur trade is notorious for inhumane practices including skinning dogs and cats, cramming animals into excessively small cages, skinning animals alive, brutally beating animals, etc. There are no laws restricting what the Chinese can do to these animals and Ardene is buying into that market. It's just sick.

    Sure the accessories are cheap but take a look at how Ardene chooses to damage the environment and support the skinning of animals for "fashion". Buying their products supports what Ardene is doing. Just don't.
