For some women, online shopping does not compare to the real-life experience of visiting a store — mostly because it contains the risk of ordering something that might not fit. SAN FRANCISCO-( BUSINESS WIRE )-ThirdLove, the women's bra and underwear company that disrupted the lingerie industry, announced today the launch of the Company's first experiential retail store concept, opening on July 24, through the end of 2019, at 347 West Broadway in New York City.
For ThirdLove, now may be the best time to grow in light of difficulties at rival Victoria's Secret With that in mind, the intimates brand is pursuing every strategy, from opening stores in select markets to bringing on board creative agencies, to bolster its marketing and branding efforts.



Then we do filtering based on the size that we recommended or sizes that you've bought in the past because one of the interesting things about this space is they might not have a size that fits them properly, and so being able to showcase the products that we have that truly fit you is one of the important experiences for our brand and for our site.
Several former and current employees spoke to the outlet about their experiences with the brand, charging that co-CEO David Spector — who is much less visible that his wife, co-CEO Heidi Zak — contributes to an intimidating, dismissive, condescending, and bullying management style, and the company as a whole isn't quite so pro-female-employee as its public image might make it seem.

How in 2018 can the CMO of any public company — let alone one that claims to be for women — make such shocking, derogatory statements?” It was signed by Heidi Zak, co-founder and co-CEO of ThirdLove , a direct-to-consumer bra company and Victoria's Secret competitor.
We've always approached bra and underwear shopping by browsing sales, asking friends for their favorite brands, buying a nude strapless bra in a bridesmaid-induced panic, and simply snapping up anything cute that caught our eye in a moment of shopping weakness.

Let's exceed their expectations.” Then, in case it wasn't already clear, she spelled it out: ThirdLove is the antithesis of Victoria's Secret.” The entire campaign seemed designed to show how woke, how feminist, how very different ThirdLove was from traditional bra makers — and it worked.
The timing of ThirdLove's first store may also be opportune as Victoria's Secret continues to struggle with falling sales and persistent criticism that it hasn't kept pace with changing consumer demand, including having more diversity in its products and advertising.

And Chico's Soma intimates brand recently partnered with retail concept b8ta to introduce customers to its "SOMAINNOFIT" bra to help shoppers find the right undergarment fit. While the pop-up is open, ThirdLove, which has raised $69 million in venture funding, plans to capture customer data and use it as a way to learn what customers want from the brand from a physical retail experience.
From the outside, ThirdLove appears to be the ideal millennial brand. In June, Zak said that ThirdLove wasn't ruling out physical retail, but explained why the brand hadn't yet tested it. We proudly donate all gently worn bras that are returned to women in need. Still a young company so it's an exciting time to be part of the team.
