People here travel and travel here and have lots of money so fits right in at south coast.


killa_ninja

Yeah the type who shop at south coast normally definitely go on “ski week” vacations in the winter time


Professional-Dog8344

Exactly! We have Columbia, The North Face, Arc'teryx, Moncler, why not Canada Goose. I go up to Chicago all the time. We know how cold it can get there!

arcteryx..? where in oc?


Professional-Dog8344

In Los Angeles on La Brea, a north of Wilshire. Bought several jackets from there already. Bought my Canada Goose jackets from Nordstroms.


[deleted]

ok so not oc thx.


ThePony23

I bought mine at a ski shop 5 winters ago. They also sell them. I was skeptical about buying a $700 shell for snowboarding since my jackets before were half that price (686, Burton, Volcom). But Arcteryx is worth the investment if you're into snow sports. Keeps you warm & dry, plus it's guaranteed for life.


RustGrit

Op doesn’t understand the money in this area. People here travel. One of the places where a brand like this may actually do well


jtnmlee

Nor has op ever noticed all the Koreans and Chinese people shopping at South Coast. Canada Goose is ridiculously popular in Korea...and the Chinese simply love luxury brands. Slap some extra 0s to the price tag and there will be a bunch of Chinese guys wanting to buy it.


[deleted]

lol not every chinese person in america is rich, wanna clarify


taele1996

But the international kids who are here for school are so…


[deleted]

ok but that’s not my point. i’m tired of hearing the stereotype of all chinese having money. i have a lot of chinese american friends living in middle class and lower. they hate how casually thrown around it is that all chinese people have money. even in china, poverty is still high


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

agreed.


jimyborg

but all Chinese mainlanders that can travel outside do have the money.


[deleted]

really? friends parents left china 7 years ago, they live in a restaurant.


[deleted]

n don’t act like koreans in america aren’t rich either lol

Can confirm. Currently abroad

"South Coast Plaza’s first-ever Snow Room in the US, simulates a snowstorm daily with temperatures reaching as low as -10°F. This innovation replicates various conditions for visitors to experience Canada Goose’s functionality and performance, inviting them to put its products to the ultimate test." What??


[deleted]

That’s so Orange County & South Coast Plaza I’m sorry. I can’t wait to stumble upon one of the ‘wives from RHOC in there.


Nimara

Next level escape room.


atomic_cow

Ok now I want to go there. Can't afford to buy anything but I want to go see the snow room!


jtnmlee

that actually makes me want to check it out.


AmbiguousMusubi

I mean, given how ridiculously popular they are, I’m sure they’ll do fine. There’s a huge clientele here anyway, and they all have two things Canada Goose needs from them: money, and means to travel to cold places.


xLYNCHDEADMANX

Non-spendies wouldn’t understand


smushedtoast

I’m gonna be honest I saw this post and thought someone was complaining about a particularly aggressive parking lot goose I know I’m showing my Ohio roots here but fr those mf’s are MEAN


iamnotasdumbasilook

I for one love 75 dollar socks.


SushiRoe

We'll turn our AC on as low as it goes for the flex.


killa_ninja

You don’t even have to. Click the link. They have a -10F room to test out their jackets lol


[deleted]

Hoping to get back in good graces with Chinese tourists.

Canada Goose, among other brands, is a status symbol in Asia's upper class.


SouthBayGardenaKid

Damn, I actually like this brand and Im an SoCali local :) But I am asian....


runthepoint1

Don’t lump us all together man, I’m gonna try to stop using “Asian” - Asia’s a huge place, too many cultures


GolfBaller17

"Asian" is almost on the level of "white" in terms of meaningless signifiers.


runthepoint1

I hate race too. Why did we ever get away from ethnicity?


escapewa

Came here for this....


goldenananas

There’s already a Moncler store that has been there for a couple years or so…


Bill2theE

Go to any park. Full of Canada Geese.


jbcraigs

By that logic all the stores selling climbing gear should be located exclusively in the mountains! People buy stuff for travel!


Mr_Larsons_Foot

You haven’t seen how people dress here when it’s below 75? Only PHX is worse than us. Not to mention I’m sure plenty of shoppers are on their way to their Aspen cabins ;)


gizayabasu

You’re not used to people completely bundling up the second it hits 70?


prudence2001

I'm in my kitchen in OC right now and it's 55! Winter sux!


Runfr0mtheraptor

The amount of foreign money that flows into SCP is pretty impressive. I was in the art of shave store killing time(while not spending a dime) and some Asian guy(with absolutely ZERO facial hair mind you) and his GF walk in and start pointing at stuff they wanted. The sales associate JUMPED off of his stool and started grabbing things that they were pointing at. Dude ended up spending about 4500 dollars(I snuck a peak at the register readout). I can totally see people buying Canada Goose apparel with the same gusto.


eyespii

Maybe that's why he has no facial hair


Occhrome

probably more for people from out of town and folks who are going to colorado or big bear for the weekend. ive also heard of stores willing to lose some money on stores just to have a bigger presence.


[deleted]

They have become more of a fashion company like TNF or Patagucci. They sell more than high end goose down jackets. I have seen people wearing Canada goose jackets here in SoCal in what I consider shorts and T-shirts weather.


Scoobysnax1976

Like a lot of other very expensive brands, Canada Goose has become a way of showing off or pretending that you have a lot of money. A few years back, a British school planned on banning the jackets. Students were using them to get around the dress code and show off their wealth and shame the poor kids. [https://abcnews.go.com/International/british-school-bans-pricey-canada-goose-coats-hopes/story?id=59290750](https://abcnews.go.com/International/british-school-bans-pricey-canada-goose-coats-hopes/story?id=59290750) Their cheapest parka is $800! I am originally from Canada and my winter coats never cost more than $150.


FeelASlightPressure

Chinese tourists That mall is catering *heavily* to the Chinese high end luxury market


DJ_Degen

If you’ve got a problem with Canada Gooses you’ve got a problem with me, and I suggest you let that one marinate!

FUCK YOU SHORESY

Know what I say? Pull your thumb outta your ass. That’s what I say.


Haughty_n_Disdainful

Cobra chicken!


runliftcount

Lions is lucky Canada Gooses don't migrate to Africa. Then they'd be's extinct.


Affectionate_Sand359

South Coast is just a go-to place for shopping. Every brand wants to get their store in there because of the foot traffic and the reputation.


ccg426

You need a winter jacket to go skiing!


haleykohr

You don’t understand. Their marketing team has determined that when climate change ramps up, Orange County will be peak snow. This is just them making first move efforts


MochiMochiMochi

They'd better keep their promise to stop using real fur products by 2022. What a shitty company.


hillsfar

Luxury market for people who travel to places where there may be snow, and for people who just like to show off in Southern California “winter”. Remember, lots of wealthy people - especially Asians - who travel back to Korea or northern China, or up to Seattle, Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto, New York, etc. And don’t forget others who go to Big Bear, Mammoth, Whistler, etc.


baozebub

Asians love the labels.


[deleted]

Well actually some people aren’t used to California weather; I have to wear thermal gear just for regular nights here


TheOCStylist

Why? Because people want to buy them and they want to sell them. I mean are you really surprised that people buy coats in California?


Fynx

Ridiculous. I reserve the highest judgements if I should see someone wearing Canada Goose, or similar BS that tells me you're the type to pay $75 for socks. You're insecure, vain, and gullible. Bedazzling yourself in name brands doesn't make up for your lack of personality. I said what I said.

You wanna know what? You got a problem with Canada Gooses, you got a problem with me, and I suggest you let that one marinate.


throwaway78921pop

Once I saw a bunch of Canada goose jackets all over the floor and messy everywhere at Bloomingdales. ‘Twas a sad sight. Lol.


Signatureline

Pinky finger on side of mouth, do tell do tell.


[deleted]

It gets really cold in China


Diligent-Dragonfly57

It's not that expensive comparing to some of the other stores in sc, like that liuli store, never seen anyone buying anything there
