  2. Shocked at the lack of quality control. I've read about other JCAs' experiences with quality issues but this is the first time I have experienced it in all it's "glory". I ordered recently the Baja Embroidered Top, Eyelet Dot Tank, and three pairs of 7" chino shorts. The shorts, all size 12, are cut very differently. One pair was so small I had to send back. The eyelet top started to unravel around the dots after 4 hours of wear, not to mention it became very stretched out. But the icing on the cake was the Baja top. It came, folded in the typical plastic bag with 3 or 4 holes in it. The holes look like a cigarette burned it. Unbelievable. I am returning everything. I've been purchasing items from Theory, Kate Spade, Joie, and other brands because I'm just disappointed with J.Crew lately.

    1. I can totally relate. Such a shame...used to LOVE JCrew but now I expect things to come defective and if they are not I am overjoyed. Not a good way to shop!

  3. Hi everyone. I'm a first time poster. I purchased the pave link bracelet last week. The next day I was about to put it on when I realized a stone was missing. I'm not sure if the stone was missing when I bought the bracelet or if it fell off afterwards. The tags were all still on since I never actually wore the bracelet. I took it in to the store (Fairview Mall in Toronto) and was planning one exchanging it for another one as I love the bracelet and haven't heard of anyone else having issues with the stones falling off. I asked the sales rep what I could do if this happened again and they said they would only return/exchange it if it was within the same 30 day period. After 30 days I would be out of luck. I was shocked by this. For the price, Jcrew should stand behind their jewellery. So I ended up just returning the bracelet as I don't want to risk having another stone fall out. The staff was a bit cold with me - they offered no apology or anything like that. I own lots of Jcrew jewellery and have never had any issues before but now I need to rethink whether its worth the money.
