French Connection

I will admit that the marketing of FCUK caught my attention and the clothes for what they are are reasonably fashionable, however, nothing fits me and it is a little bit above my price range but still reasonably catchy in terms of style none the less but I will stick to my Forever 21 thanks.

I will not return to this store. In alll stores where I use to buy, I can go to the fitting room carrying the items I want to try, regardless the quantity. Sometimes it’s only one or two items, sometimes nine or ten.
Not on FCUK! There you must try four items and… that’s it.
If you are in a shopping mood and want to shop hard, you have to wait for the girl to pick up the four pieces you already tried and bring other four pieces.
What is this store thinking about their clients? That they are thieves?
There are much better and fancier stores on the SAME block where you can try what you want without this pain on the *** of be waiting «please, take these and bring me those».
No way I will return. Not in a city with so many friendly places to go!

Solid 3.5 stars, perhaps an extra half star just for surviving the Robson’s rents here, as United Colours of Bennetton, R&W and American Eagle have gone belly up.
Always have been impressed by its marketing FCUK to get the attention, and its lasting power. Still have a chuckle when i see someone wearing their shirts lol.
For the men’s, like the style, and quality; they have a sale of 2 cotton tops (less offensive too) for $ 20 each, feels a heckuva lot softer than Zara’s.
Wouldn’t say their customer service was all that friendly today, but I probably would be tired of saying hi to everyone walking into the store too lol.
Sale items for both sexes in the back right hand corner, and some good deals to be had due to the summer coming up obviously. Hoodies, long-​sleeve jackets, etc. for 50% off…

I can’t say enough to describe the amazing customer service we got at this French connection branch. I was quite helped by the staff to pick up the right dress for my girl back in Germany. I was worried it won’t be her size, but I was assured that French Connection in Europe should normally accept exchanging.
When my girlfriend tried on the dress it wasn’t exactly her size (although 6 is usually her size), so we seeked returning it to get the larger size. However, the store in Karlsruhe refused to exchange it as it was purchased out of the country.
I called the store in Vancouver to complain and which was keen to solve the problem by offering a full refund or exchanging the dress.
I was emailed directly after the call by the store manager (Deborah) as she explained the confusion came as the FCUK stores in Canada accept exchange of items purchased internationally.
We shipped the the dress to the store express (over 45 euros) and got the right size shipped back to Germany, and my girlfriend loved it though.
I can’t thank the folks down there enough for their fabulous customer service.
Not to mention the fact that FCUK is one of the best fashion and clothing brands offered on Robson store with a huge line of items and a tidy nice gallery.

I stopped in b/​c the windows looked good (And it was open on the long weekend). Not that different than other French Connection stores. There were promotions and the sales people did stop to let us know what they were, so that was nice.

My favorite place to shop in downtown .
I love their dresses not so much for purses and shoes

The service was good. It’s clean. I like some of their stuff.
But I have to ask, would French Connection be popular if the initials weren’t FCUK? It’s a brilliant marketing scheme. «FCUK» is prominently displayed on every item of clothing they have. You can buy shirts that have a huge FCUK on the front. You can buy jackets with about 5 huge FCUK’s on the back.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m no prude. I love a good FCUK now and then. There’s nothing better than a good FCUK before breakfast. But do I want FCUK printed all over my clothes? That’s just obscene.

I like French Connections. I like their sweaters, which keep good shape, and their lovely dress although my hour glass doesn’t always work on but cie la vie.
The Robson store is packed with people at the weekends, so go a week night after work for a calmer shopping experience. I find the staff there range in level of service. A few are perfect for what I prefer, say hello, leave me to shop, just make sure when I need a fit room or to pay that someone will help me.
Oh, and the fit rooms actually have flattering mirrors!

What the hell happened?! They used to be very keen on promoting their «FCUK» t-​shirts! I have like my little collection of FCUK products! FCUK in Las Vegas, FCUK VANCOUVER, FCUK in NY, I’D FCUK ME, and etf! But they had none of that time! I almost wanted to say I felt really insulted coming here this time. It’s like going to Burger King and they say they don’t have the whopper anymore! WTF?! Ehhh, everything else was not that great seems a little too flashy/​eye catching to my liking.

I went in the morning when there were about 2 other customers. About 3 – 4 of the clerks completely ignored me for at least ten minutes. I had one of the worst experiences here in terms of customer service.
Their clothes can be expensive ($ 100 for a zip-​up) but they have plenty of items on sale at great prices ($ 20 t-​shirts, $ 40 hoodies, $ 60 jackets and more). Their jeans are not very special, as all of the jeans i saw had no back pocket stitching or designs. Their knits and jackets are urban and simple.

French Connection brings a certain kind of cool aesthetic to Vancouver, one that prior to was exclusive to London’s high streets. Since then, French Connection has grown into a considerably retail force. The price points are akin to Club Monaco but the styles are less tailored and cater to hipper, trendier crowd (i.e. you’ll find less work wear appropriate gear and more mod club kid style, naturally depending on the season).
While I have no doubt that a lot of the merchandise still has those «Made in China» tags, the quality isn’t too bad and FCUK serves as a good middle ground between the high end lot of Holt and the overly cheap looking duds of Sirens.

I am a big fan of French Connection United Kingdom (FCUK for short).
I love their clothing — especially the t-​shirts such as «FCUK Fashion» or the shirts aimed towards tourists like «FCUK in Vancouver.»
However I especially love it when they have sales. I have bought jeans that I absolutely adore, a bag that I use daily, and a jacket that I wear very frequently. Every time I come up to Vancouver, I make sure there’s time available for this store on my itinerary.
+ fun t-​shirts
+ friendly and honest service
+ location — on Robson so its very convenient to continue shopping
— can be pricey when not on sale
