“This is an exciting starting point for Anthropologie. Our goal is to be
a destination for everyone wanting to express their personal style and to
feel like their best selves”, said Anthropologie’s Managing Director of
Design, Richa Srivastava, in a statement. “At launch, we’ll offer a great
range of options and an exceptional shopping experience. We’ll evolve both
as we move forward, adding more styles and locations as we learn from
customer feedback.”
