Hollister was launched by Abercrombie & Fitch in 2000 as its Southern California surf brand; the 1922 on the labels is a marketing story, not a founding date. The seagull logo, the dark shops and the slip dresses and crochet shirts of the 2000s are what people now buy back.
Does Hollister run small? Yes, it is junior sizing: an S is closer to a UK 8 than a 10. Bust, waist and length are listed flat on every piece.
What do you check on a Hollister piece before listing it? The seagull label generation, the printed care tag and the condition of satin and crochet, shown close up.
