"Anthropologie was designed to appeal to a 30 to 40-something affluent professional women with total family annual income above $200,000."
Source?

Personally, I usually see 18-25 year old girls in the Anthropologie in Georgetown. This seems incorrect. Mah58@georgetown.edu 23:59, 22 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Here are several mentions of the target demographics from a basic search of Anthropologie AND demographics. Keep in mind, that is their target demo.  Their price-points and products point that way.  You will always see people outside of the target demographic where ever you go, especially when there is a university such as Georgetown close by.

This article sounds a LOT like an ad for Anthropologie.


 * That is because it is the ad, it is a direct copy from http://www.anthropologie.com/companyinfo/our_story.jsp. If someone knows more about Anthropologie, please rewrite this page as the copy from the "our story" really added nothing and was not encylopedic. Shrek05 15:30 26 June 2006 (UTC)

I think the store listing just adds clutter to the page. maybe an external link to store listings?

Outside of sale items and the journals, the women I know who wear and have furniture from this store are in their 30s and/or own homes. I think it's fairly accurate. What 20 year old buys a $1200 chandelier, or shells out $60 for four desert dishes?
 * Really? You know 30 year old women who wear furniture? Well, only someone with an income of $200,000 is able to wear furniture. -- Jwinters | Talk 03:54, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Post-AfD
In light of the rewrite, I have removed the cleanup and AfD notices. Sertrel 18:09, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

I think some importance could be added to this website if someone was privy to the knowledge of where these one of a kind items sold at Anthropologie come from--and are the people who make the items adequately compensated for them and is any child labor used? I'm not saying that is the case, just that the items in Anthropologie (which I have to admit, I think are terrific) are very unusual, often handmade and appear to come from all over the world. That is of more import, I would say, then their marketing strategy alone and is an important and topical issue on the global economy. Rosemaryhodges (talk) 21:20, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Copy editing
I did extensive copy editing on this page, removing most of the un-cited paragraphs. I am removed the copy editing banner. SpiritedMichelle (talk) 01:17, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Removed advertisement template
I have removed the advertisement template from 2017, having seen that the page has been updated extensively in the past year, effectively removing most if not all content that passes off as advertising. Thanks! ValleyGuide (talk) 12:26, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
