Hustling 24/7, 365

We stock our stores with new items nearly every day, not just every season. Because our buyers are all around the world and in several time zones and seasons, we get real-time intel to prep for what our shoppers want. Marshalls buyers look everywhere, from what walks the runway during fashion week to what people are wearing in the real world every day. Plus, they’re no strangers to social media. When something’s trending online, our buyers hunt it down.

- MARSHALLS BUYER

52% of people associate quality with premium materials and 46% associate quality with having a luxurious feeling on their skin.

Quality is the fiber of what we do.

Our buyers know that value is more than just the number on a price tag. Value means quality without compromise, so we focus on details like fabrics, stitching, zippers, clasps, and fit, while also making sure we’re getting you the best deal.

We set our vision months ahead and flex based on what the customer wants.

Our buyers are a step ahead, looking for trends and forecasting based on what’s really happening in the world, months in advance, so by the time a trend hits, it’s already in store and online. And although we plan months ahead, our business model allows us to easily flex based on new and emerging trends and customer demand.

We take fit and feel very seriously

To help ensure our shoppers get amazing quality, our buyers do quality checks. From seeing how clothing moves during a workout to hand-feeling premium fabrics, buyers look for durability and comfort. The same goes for our pet selection – Marshalls buyers use their own furry friends to try merchandise, so they know it is pet approved.

We have quality experts in every area, and their primary function is to assess quality and make sure what we are buying and shipping to stores is the best quality out there. ”

Opposites Attract

midcentury modern for the 21st century

What’s old is new again. Modern details give classic pieces the new age revamp you’re craving. Consider rugby shirts with modern patterns, or try tapered pants in bright, bold colors.

This season, opt for multi-purpose pieces in functional and technical materials with elegant and luxe details. Pops of color and accent pieces add personality.

trends for take-off — and landing

Vacation awaits, and we have the perfect luggage for wherever you’re heading this summer. Before you go, grab a hard-shell spinner, brand name duffel, or trending tote. And don’t forget all the packable, warm weather looks to put inside.

TREND 05

everything’s coming up roses

Retro and mod bouquets are popping up everywhere. This season’s florals are flatter, kitschier, and more graphic than ever. If outlined blooms and bold, bright pops of color aren’t your thing, opt for smaller scale packed petals and soft-focus florals with a hazy, blurred effect

Darker shades of blue and green give Tropical prints a moody twist. Sunbaked and rustic colorways and desert-print foliage add an understated vintage feel you never knew you needed.
