In the last decade, J.Crew has gained international attention
through its dedication to quality, timeless design and world-class
customer service. From its partnerships with the finest
European mills and fabric houses to its renowned Italian cashmere
and impeccably tailored Ludlow suiting, the company has built a
loyal following all over the world.
"We are on a mission to provide customers around the world with
the best-of-the-best - we have created an experience that is
equally as rich online as in store and are excited to introduce
J.Crew to new customers worldwide," states Millard Drexler, Chairman & CEO of J.Crew
Group, Inc.
Since 1983, J.Crew has established itself as a retail pioneer
with its catalog, which has become an official style guide for
many, and the introduction of innovative and successful retail
concepts both on and offline. J.Crew stands apart from other
retailers by leading their international growth with e-commerce
first, allowing customers exclusive access to its entire collection
(women's, men's, and children's) around the clock, anywhere and
everywhere. The next phase in the company's expansion plans will
include opening specialty stores in select markets in Europe and Asia over the next several years.
To celebrate the global launch, J.Crew will be offering its
international customers (outside of North
America) an introductory offer including free shipping and
returns as well as duty-free shopping for a limited time.
J.Crew's e-commerce global presence is enabled by FiftyOne, the
market leader in global e-commerce.
