today was the last day for Stussy / Porter Store in NYC, Huf down to 2 storefronts

[ringydingydingdang]

the 140 Wooster Store is no more as of today, Sunday.

Soho rents still are rising, so they are now temporarily homeless.

no word yet on a new location.

thousands of miles away, Huf is also down to 2 storefronts, down from 3 in SF.

Businesses and trends come and go, huh?

i never understood the relationship in that store. are they owned by the same ppl or is porter imported by stussy or something? what i'm getting at is i'm guessing stussy will open another store somewhere, but head porter's market is smaller and probably won't open their own store. so if stussy opens another one, will there also definitely be a head porter store too?

[ringydingydingdang]

Porter is imported by the same folks that stock Stussy and Union, as i understand it.

Whether Porter will return is sadly uncertain.

All owned by the same people, a few of those have partners not involved with the other stores, the main one being UNDFTD.

SF is about to get it's own big time shop in a few months.. just wait.

[ericdw]

gotcha, thanks.

maybe union ny will just end up stocking porter than? it seems like it would fit in alright there.

edit

kiya - does the same group actually own the stussy brand?

[readytoignite]

interesting... boutique-wise i always thought it was jebbia in nyc and eddie cruz in la. i wasn't aware that jebbia had any hand in operations on the west coast so i guess that would make him a stakeholder / silent partner?

anyway union is going to stock stussy in nyc for the time being. i wouldn't be surprised if supreme had to move within the next 5 years or so

Huf had to shut down one of their stores because of problems with the landowner. There's word though that a Supreme store might open up in the nearby future.

[the_state]

^wtf...i thought jebbia owns the whole brand.

[mspark]

the issue of supreme's ownership comes up every 6 months or so.

[c.r.e.a.m.]

no porter anymore? wtf i was pumped to go there next weekend.

[the_state]

^ yea man i was actually planning to buy a camera case w/ my next paycheck.

[c.r.e.a.m.]

i was planning on buying a new wallet and a backpack... fuuuuuck

[ms. sally]

^wtf...i thought jebbia owns the whole brand.

The brand he owns to my knowledge. the stores he has partners. But all the stores are buying the clothing from him anyway, so im sure he gets a nice cut regardless.

Its the same for Stussy.

Jebbie, Cruz, Omar, etc they all have to buy Stussy clothing direct from the company to stock the chapter stores that they each own. They agree to a franchise deal essentially.

I havent worked for either company or any of the above people. This is all second hand and a general assumption of basic business. Take it for what its worth.

supreme on the other hand...

stussy is solid, they play the hype game as well as anyone else but they're not really meant to be an exclusive / cultish brand like supreme. i suppose you could see them as a hype brand if you focused only on blog coverage of stussy collaborations rather than their core apparel.
