Anthropologie

Walking into the store, I realize that the store really fits its name “Anthropologie.” The look is cozy and natural, when compared to high tech and modern stores you’d find at the mall. The strong scented candles fill the room built with wooden floors that reminded me of a cabin or an antique store. The place contains everyday useful products like beds, couches, chairs, pillows and rooms décor. The designs on the clocks are beautiful and very detailed. In fact, the most important characteristic of the store is how it’s embedded with details. The designs and patterns on clothes provide a fashion statement of an earthly feeling. If you look back in time, the smallest details on buildings, statues, royal robes, and furniture revealed value and gained admiration. I see the fine details throughout the stores, especially in rugs and scarves that were sewn with colorful threads and unique designs. The bags and boots give an old south western look with leather and suede straps, not to mention the wide range of colored beads. The word “anthropology” refers to people all around the world and a store named after it should reflect just that. I do realize that the store only had women’s clothes and not men’s. Anthropologie is the right term for the store, but it’s lacking men’s product. Maybe the name should have included the term “women” or some reference to the womanly/feminine products in the store. Besides that, a store depicting a stylish, natural and earthly look that most women can relate to breathes Anthropology.
