Mexx?

[Catherine-Marie]

A new store is opening two blocks from where I work, one shop over from H & M on 5th, here in New York. The big signs say "Mexx" and that it's European fashion for men and women.

Is anyone familiar with this "brand"? What's the deal?

Thank you.

Yeah they have Mexx a lot here in Canada. I would say it's a step below Teen Flo. About on the same level as Part II if you are familiar with either of these brands. They have some nice stuff, mostly dressy-casual, but they aren't my thing personally.

 

[Catherine-Marie]

Thanks, mehq, but I don't know either of these places.

So far, I'm gathering that they are similar to H&M? Which wouldn't make sense, would they put two places like that next to each other? Hmmm...

CM, it's kind of on the same page as Club Monaco (price-wise) and their pieces are more classic rather than too trendy.

Mexx is where I go when I need something plain like the basic black pants and white blouse.

On the other hand, they have really nice menswear.

 

[Catherine-Marie]

Well, either way, I suppose it's worth a quick look during lunch, once it opens. Thanks!

i shopped in mexx once when was in Montreal & it was all right.
everything was very affordable, cheaper than Club Monaco. quality was not the best, but at those prices it's fine.

Mexx is Italian, more expensive than H&M and
-from what i remember- less trend consious.
Its been around for 15 years or more,
last time I saw their collection (years ago)
it was towards sportswear/casual/weekend.
But of course big companies change directions
so let us know what Mexx is all about in NY,
will you Catherine-Marie?

is it just me or does Teen Flo sound like a 1970's-era brand of maxi pads?

I'll have to check out this Mexx place next time I pop into the city.

That makes two of us!!!!

...and yes, Lena, I would be moer than happy to bring back a report.

Mexx is all over the place here too -- it remindes me of Espirit, pretty much the same style/price range.

in the Netherlands, mexx is everywhere. it's definitely more expensive than H&M, and much less trend-conscious. but for once, I don't see that as a good thing. I don't think I've ever bought anything at mexx. what I don't like about their collections is that they hardly ever use natural materials, it's almost all very (what I call) polyester-y looking and feeling (but I don't know very much about unnatural fibers, for all I know it's not polyester. I hope you know what I mean). you know, pants that are just a bit too shiny, tops that would melt if you wore them sitting next to a candle. it's a pet peeve of mine
plus their clothes are not my style - they're very mainstream.

Lena, you're BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just discovered Mexx here in VA. It's been 3 years since the above posts, does anyone new have opinions - and is the above still valid or are they a lot better now?

 

[Pastry]

i used to work at mexx, and let me just say

 

[JJohnson]

hmmm I nver heard of Mexx...highly intersting...but im in Chicago and we get everything last so

 

[fashion_love]

I bought something from Mexx a long time ago. It's nothing for my age, a bit too boring. In germany you can find a mexx store in every town.

I thought Mexx was quite common around the world, theres alot of Mexx in Canada. Not a fan, thats pretty much what I have to say.
