Dear Anne,
It's not often I send letters to anyone telling them how wonderful their products are, but for Junonia I will do that. I adore the clothes you have on the site and have purchased lots and lots of them. I got a few (like I always do to see if I like the quality, etc.) and wound up buying more, because I REALLY like them. The quality is great, the fit super duper. I have introduced my friends to your clothing site as well and they love them. So keep up the good work, girlfriend! We adore our Junonia clothes.
Sincerely,
Aeva
Dear Anne,
I decided to try your line of casual clothes - fashionable and comfortable, with the same sturdy philosophy as your swim wear. And you serve us TALL women! I thought I was in heaven. (Although I must shop the "closet" most of the time, due to financial stress! Thank you for giving us "poor" gals a chance to wear your clothes!)
Thank you for believing that larger women deserve only the best,
Nancy
Hi Aeva and Nancy,
Thank you for writing. It's always a delight to hear compliments on the quality of our clothing, as that has always been our first focus. From fabric to fit to design, we strive to make our clothes the best in the business. We've been leading the way in active and swim apparel for a long time, and we've carried that commitment to quality through as we've expanded to casual and vacation wear.
But quality never comes without a cost. As Nancy mentions, our clothing isn't cheap. That's because we invest in only the best fabrics from all corners of the globe and employ an in-house staff of designers who stay on the cutting edge of clothing technology. That costs money, and while we do our best to keep costs down, some of our apparel is expensive by necessity.
So does that mean that budget-minded shoppers can't afford Junonia clothing? A thousand times no! We like to point out that there's a big difference between price and value. The initial cost may be slightly high, but Junonia apparel is made to last. Buying fewer replacement clothes means saving big in the long run, and also making a smaller environmental footprint. As an example, consider this note from satisfied customer Lani: "I have worn my Junonia clothes for seven years and they are just beginning to show wear and tear. They were used year 'round and I am hoping that the new shirt I just purchased will last as long. Thanks for what I consider a quality product."
Nancy's letter brings up another great option for plus size women on a budget: our Juno's Closet clearance section. We are constantly adding items to our discount collection for various reasons. Some are discontinued styles, some are overstocks, some have sold out of all but a few colors or sizes. All of these clothes feature the same high quality and perfect fit you've come to expect from Junonia, at remarkable sale prices, including many items under $25. If you're trying to save money but still need quality plus size swimwear, active gear or casual styles, Juno's Closet should be your one-stop shop.
Thank you for reading and shopping, and keep the questions coming!
