“Of course we’d never mean to offend anyone and
when we put the email out yesterday it came from a
good place. Retail stores are the lifeline of a brand
like ours so when they are closed, we need to come
up with ways to make up for that lost revenue.
People forget how expensive it is to run a Made in
USA brand like American Apparel and if we made a
mistake here it came from the good place of trying
to keep the machine going–for the sake of our
employees and stakeholders.”
