First founded in 1992, Anthropologie is designed to follow customers of its parent company, Urban Outfitters, into the next stage of their life. This new concept aims to appeal to 30- to 40-something affluent professional women with total family annual income above $200,000. The clothes still retain the somewhat "hipster" vibe of Urban Outfitters, but are more sophisticated and of a higher quality, and therefore visibly more expensive.

Girl: Oooh, let's go to Urban Outfitters! They have this great new A-line tunic top that'll go really well with the skinny jeans I got there last week.
Mom: Ooh, I used to love wearing that kind of stuff. I know! After, we'll go to Anthropologie to pick me up some similar, more age-appropriate clothing.

A store that sells ridiculously expensive pieces of junk clothing and claims that they are top of the line items. Just because the top says made in China and has embellishments of chinese rose blossoms on it does not mean it needs to be $200.00. The seams are even coming apart! Nowadays what isn't made in China anyway?
Kelsey:Wow look at that flower print dress in the window of Anthropologie. (We walk inside the store and look at it.)
Jennifer:Pretty but from what I can see by the stitching the company enjoys ripping people off.
