Question Sirens vs. Marciano & Bebe!
Hey Everyone!

Sirens vs. Marciano & Bebe!!!

My Story...
I went browsing in Sirens today and was shocked to see that they had some pieces that were 99.9% Identical to things I bought from Marciano and Bebe! (The buttons were different upon further reviewing - but everything else was absolutely identical.)

Here are my Questions for you - if you have any answers:

1. Do companies like Marciano & Bebe sell their patterns to smaller companies like Sirens.

2. Could it be possible that Sirens buys the overstock or sale items that never sold - change the buttons and tags, and re-sell it.

I feel like, if this is the case... why don`t i just shop at sirens, and pay half the price...for the exact same thing!

HAS ANYONE ELSE NOTICED THIS What do you think... Sirens vs. Marciano & Bebe. What do you buy and prefer. And Why

Re: Sirens vs. Marciano & Bebe!
I think Sirens, Urban Planet and Urban Behaviour are known as the copy-cat stores, their clothing are made from a different material, have different designs and are from different companies but they are based mostly off of the latest fashions from bebe, marciano and guess.

Re: Sirens vs. Marciano & Bebe!
Yeah I have to agree that alot of the stuff at those 3 stores look the same. That's why I only buy the stuff at Marciano & Guess that aren't copycat copies of Sirens stuff Click the image to open in full size.

Re: Sirens vs. Marciano & Bebe!
Just remember the quality of clothing at Marciano and Bebe are a LOT better than Sirens/UB, etc. I'd rather pay more for the quality too.. plus sometimes the clothes at Sirens and UB have this funny smell that you can't get rid of. =S

Re: Sirens vs. Marciano & Bebe!
Would you rather buy from Sirens (or alike stores) to save money?

Or is the quality still different?

It seems like more ppl shop at Bebe and Marciano vs. Sirens...
Or maybe thats just my observation... I could be wrong!?

i think it just depends on your own budget..
like for me personally i would spend more on a piece of clothing if i plan to wear it more than once... i.e. lululemon yoga pants over cheap imitation ones
say if i'm just looking for a top for this one occasion then i'll go to sirens and pick it out...

i use to shop a lot a sirens etc when i was in highschool (jobless) i.e. top for a school dance etc.. but after awhile i stopped because the quality is crap.. yah it's cheap but u wash it once the top is all messed up and u won't wear it again...
