Luluemon lovers are already spreading their portfolios to the limit, and they have now had enough.
Fans and critics were affecting their languages on Friday after athleisure giant warned customers who would soon pay even more for a caring training equipment after a nose.
The culprit? President Donald Trump’s rates, and apparently broke the North -Americans who tightened their wallet ropes.
“We have experienced lower traffic than stores in the Americas, partially reflecting economic uncertainty, inflationary pressures, the smallest consumer confidence and changes in discretionary spending,” the company said in a recent statement.
Translation: Even follow -up of the Bunnies Millennial Bunnies and Z Yoga brand worship does not produce $ 128 in leggings as before.
Executives are going back up, as the Wall Street Darling decreased the predictions of analysts, seeing only 1% increase in year -on -year sales, which did not exceed 3% forecast.
“We plan to increase strategic prices … in a small part of our assortment and they will have a modest nature,” said the financial manager Meghan Frank on a earnings call, adding that the ascents will take place in a few weeks.
“It will be an increase in prices in a small part of our assortments and they will be modest of nature,” he said.
CEO Calvin McDonald admitted that he was not “happy” with the U.S. growth figures and blamed the Skittish buyers belt.
“We have experienced lower traffic in stores … lower consumers confidence,” it was echoed.
Although some may aim to fly new lines such as the Glow UP collection or Daydrift’s pants, the company is blaming the rates, especially those made with the goods made in Vietnam and China, where the company causes most of its fabrics.
By 2024, 40% of Luluemon’s products were made in Vietnam and 28% of their tissues came from mainland China, both affected by Trump’s commercial repression.
Now Lulu says he is working to reduce costs and negotiate with vendors to compensate for the success of the rate. But customers are not exactly down in support.
Ax, dissatisfied users were reduced to brand decisions and manufacturing.
“It is better to join it. Lulu. Using the rates as an excuse in the rest of the year, the perspectives of the year are not a smart movement. Amazon/Walmart tested this, it did not go well. Today, $ 65. Our family was a big Lulu fan, no longer,” he did one.
“For what they charge for their products, you could think that it was done in America,” he fit another.
“It can’t be that yoga pants don’t have to cost $ 125 a couple. No, it’s not,” someone joked.
Others were more forceful: “His things are ridiculously expensive … Total Ripoff”.
“The collapse of Luluemon is not about rates; it is to bet on foreign manufacture by ignoring the North -American Resilience,” said a critic.
They continued, “moving production … It was always a bet, and now they pay.”
Some simply hit the entire mark: “Luluemon’s clothing is so expensive; it has always been. Only genetics think it’s the name that makes them special.”
Another searched: “The rich stupid women paying prices exorbitant in the pants stretching. Smh.”
Despite the setback, Lulullemon does not seem to sweat yet, but with the rise costs and customers who extend their budgets, the future may not be so flexible.
