What is the story with Gymboree?

If you are not familiar with Gymboree clothing, then you may be wondering..."What is the story with Gymboree? Why is it so popular?"
If you are familar with Gymboree...then you already know! For the rest of you, let me try to explain the obsession!

Every few weeks Gymboree comes out with a new line or collection, these lines are named and have a theme. For example, one of my favorites "Park City Luxe" was a line from Nov 06 and had a western theme with horses, snowy mountains and lots of western style stitching. Most of my daughter's 07/08 winter wardrobe was made up of this line...it's adorable!

The pieces in each line coordinate so you can create a matching outfit from head to toe! You can even create an entire seasonal wardrobe out of one line! There's everything from socks and panties to hats and hair accessories to jackets and shoes!

Gymboree is known for their fancy embellishments! A lot of the pieces are beautifully detailed with beads, sequence, applique and embroidery. And I have to say that when I think of Gymboree, I think "Quality." Their clothes are very well made and durable and they last! That's why you can find pieces on ebay that are from past collections that are 5 6 7 years old and still in great condition.

So, you have fallen in love with the new line that just came out, but you may not want to pay retail prices and by the time this line goes on sale...your favorite pieces are sold out! That's when we go "hunting" on ebay! (I would compare this obsession to "antiquing" or any other hobby collecting you might do)

And the best part about ebay is that you will probably be able to find the same pieces next year in the next size up, either NWT (New with Tags) or in EUC (Excellent Used Condition)!

Another added bonus about Gymboree clothing is that it holds it's value very well. Meaning that if you got a good price and kept it in great condition, you can re-sell it on ebay, probably for what you paid for it or maybe even more! But that is a whole other topic!
