Hi! Do you often buy things online? Do you want to invent the formula price=quality? Are you going to the United States and thinking about which stores to visit? In any case, this post is for you. I want to tell you about the American store — Macy’s.

Macy’s is one of the largest and most popular department stores not only in the United States, but also in the world. It was founded in 1858 by Rowland Hussey Macy. Today, Macy’s operates 867 stores in 43 U.S. states, including 680 under the name Macy’s and Bloomingdales (a store with a more luxurious range and correspondingly higher prices) and 187 specialty stores under the names Bloomingdale’s The Outlet, Bluemercury, Macy’s Backstage, Story.

Macy’s is one of the most affordable stores in the United States and you can find products here for any wallet. Macy’s offers products from low-cost, little-known brands as well as popular brands, including world-famous Calvin Klein, Michael Kors, Levi’s, Guess, Coach, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Nike, New Balance, and many others. You can also find certain categories of products from more luxury brands, such as Armani, Prada, Gucci, Balenciaga. More widely, luxury brands are of course represented in the Bloomingdales network. Macy’s also has its own personal brand called Bar III, which produces men’s and women’s clothing and shoes.

Macy’s has a wide range of children’s clothing and shoes. The Carters brand is particularly popular among children’s brands. It is known for its quality and convenient items for babies and preschool children. The store also features children’s lines from Levis, Calvin Klein, Polo Ralph Lauren, Guess, Adidas, Tommy Hilfiger and other well-known and little-known brands.

Macy’s is also famous for its cosmetics and perfume department. Unfortunately, perfumes are not allowed to be sent by airmail, but cosmetics, both for care and decorative, can be purchased at Macy’s even during sales periods at very favorable prices. Famous brands such as Dior, Bobby Brown, Urban Decay, Clarins, Lancome, Clinique, MAC, Shiseido and many others are represented here. Macy’s often gives gifts with a set of cosmetics and cosmetic bags when buying cosmetics for a certain amount.

In addition to clothing, shoes and cosmetics, Macy’s offers home goods ranging from dishes to furniture. Therefore, if you are looking for small interior items or high-quality bed linen, you should also look at Macy’s.

Macy’s has become wildly popular due to its huge selection, ease of purchase (all in one place) and, most importantly, quality. The criteria for selecting products are very strict, and serve as a guarantee of quality. In addition, Macy’s surrounds its clients with unearthly support. Return, payment, service — all at a level of kings.
