Martin + Osa

brwneyedgrl · Oct 20th, 2007, 03:33 PM

I checked out this newer store at the mall today, Martin + Osa. I learned from the sa that it is a line by American Eagle targeting 25+. I liked what I saw. The line is really clean and simple. The sizing is a little more generous. They offer free alterations on all regular merchandise. They had a lot of things on sale. I bought a couple of cute tees. I really liked a drop waist knit dress w/a drawstring at the hips, but it didn't really fit right on me. Any other opinions?

My bf and I have become dedicated customers of Martin & Osa!! We first checked out their stuff a couple of months ago at Tyson's and they remind me very much of J. Crew in a way, except simpler and the quality is great!! Some of their stuff is extremely pricey--but they often go on sale and the colors are really nice.

Pulling up this thread because of a sale post in Deals & Steals. I really like the look of the clothes online, very clean and simple. How is the fit? Would you say it is similar to J Crew and Banana Republic.

I am petite and usually wear a size p4 from Banana. I haven't worn the regular numbered sizes from Banana in forever. I will say that M+O seems to be cut a little more generously. Being only 5'2", I do find that their dresses and skirts are long on me. I have a couple of tees from them that I like. They have a nice, clean, simple line, but they seem kind of pricey to me compared to Banana.

Thanks that helps a lot.

I don't think I'll buy anything from them until they open a store in NYC, not worth the hassle shipping back and forth because I think the skirts/dresses might be too long for me too. I am 5'4" and am tired of skirts/dresses falling past the knee.
