Initialized clothing and accessories

[carnation]

Are accessories and clothing with initials a huge big deal where you are? I didn't see any until December and suddenly the stores were covered and my students all came back from vacation covered with initials. It's like teaching in alphabet soup.

We got a few items for some of our girls but the one with an H name is out of luck--I swear that there wasn't ANYTHING with an H on it in the stores.

I have a red cardigan with "C" on it, its cute, but I don't really wear it....

but then I am in outer atl, not far from you.

initials aren't a big thing here on clothes - they're getting popular on jewellry, but that's it (even still, not many people I know even have that)

i saw them all over around xmas time, but most stuff is on clearance now. I personally have an adorable black 3/4 sleeved sweater w/a hot pink K on it, and a little black purse w/a pink beaded K that a friend got me for my birthday.

For the most part i've seen a lot of stuff in the stores, but only the occasional handbag in public..

initials on clothing and purses were really big a few months ago... but now the trend is sorta over here.

i have a cute tote bag i still use to lug stuff to the gym with my initial on it though!

I've always had monogrammed Brooks Brothers shirts. I also have monogrammed luggage.

no initial clothes or jewelry around here.. at least I haven't seen any in mass quantities...

.. but I have seen a ton of the purses/handbags/clutchs/wallets w/ initials

I see the intials thing alot around here. I was wondering what was going on.

Jewelry with initials and to a less extent other accessories like purses (I don't think I saw very many on clothes) were relatively popular during the summer and fall, but I think the trend is fading out up here.

I've only seen initialized bags from Roots (yes, the people that made the Canadian, US and UK Olympic Gear in 2002) and the pants from the GAP (but that was back in late August) so far, but I don't really pay attention to a lot of stuff that doesn't come from the stores that I normally go to. I have a Roots purse with a pink "C" on it though.

It really got big around here after Christmas. When I came back after break everyone seemed to have something with their first inital on it.

a ton of people here have the purses with initials on it. i looked at a few places but could never find one with an "N". i see a few people with necklaces, but rarely see anyone wearing clothes with initials on it.

I have seen clothes and purses with initials since the summer. Macys had tons of initials at Christmas time. My boss gave me a Tiffany & Co. leather day planner with my monogram for Christmas. I have a few necklaces with my initials from the last time it was in fashion. I think that some of those shirts look like something Laverne would wear.

Yeah they make NOTHING with a P.
