You’ve likely heard of H&M, whether you’re a regular customer or not.
After all, the brand was partially responsible forMeghan Markle’s stunning pregnancy style.
The publication reported that this is due to a four-pronged approach.
First, the brand hires more than a hundred designers who monitor fashion trends and design garments accordingly.
The brand’s high-fashion garments are made sparingly to increase demand and reduce the chance of leftover stock.
After this, H&M’s suppliers create the products.
The company’s website lists eight affiliated brands.
The most well-known is H&M, the fashion brand we know and love.
The brand also boasts a number of standalone stores dedicated to glorious homeware and interior styling products.
Some of the company’s lesser-known brands are just as noteworthy.
ARKET focuses on high-quality, durable “essential products for men, women, children and the home.”
Weekday sells garments inspired by “youth culture and street style.”
H&M Group also owns the brand & Other Stories, made for lovers of footwear and accessories.
The brand aims to engrain sustainability in every aspect of the business.
These may be “exclusive deals and coupons including free shipping and percent-off coupons.”
Here’s how the program works.
Customers are encouraged to drop off garments and other textiles they no longer want.
Items that are in good condition are sold as second-hand goods.
Items that are not in wearable condition are repurposed into products such as cleaning cloths.
Items that are not suitable to be resold or reused are recycled in a sustainable fashion.
According toStylight, H&M joined forces withChanel creative directorKarl Lagerfeld in 2004.
Since then, H&M has collaborated with different high-fashion designers.
H&M’s homeware brand made a game-changing move.
H&M HOME added to their already amazing offerings by introducing online-only exclusives.
According toLivingetc, this includes “some curated finds from smaller brands.”
This could mean even more small brands will make an appearance on H&M HOME’s online store.
Not all stores offer a pain-free returns process, but H&M most certainly does.
H&M’s return and exchange policystates that they offer complementary return and exchange facilities within their stores.
To be eligible, customers must present the items, along with a receipt, within 30 days post-purchase.
If you’re hoping to return or exchange swimwear, you must ensure the hygienic seal is still intact.
Underwear unfortunately cannot be exchanged or refunded, presumably due to hygiene concerns.
H&M will generally deduct a return fee of $5.99 from your refund.
H&M HOME items that were bought online can only be returned and exchanged by mail.
They recommend placing a measuring tape over your chest while wearing a well-fitted bra to determine your chest size.
If trying to determine your bra size, H&M recommends measuring the area just under the bust.
To find out, you must first either download H&M’s app or head totheir website.
Next find your garment (or accessory) of choice.
You will likely see a"find in-store"option just below the color options.
If its text is gray, this means the item is not available in stores or is sold out.
The list of stores presented will also include sizes available, store addresses, and store hours.
Joining the H&M program is quite straight-forward and, perhaps best of all, free.
