Personally, I usually see 18-25 year old girls in the Anthropologie in Georgetown. This seems incorrect. Mah58@georgetown.edu 23:59, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Here are several mentions of the target demographics from a basic search of Anthropologie AND demographics. Keep in mind, that is their target demo. Their price-points and products point that way. You will always see people outside of the target demographic where ever you go, especially when there is a university such as Georgetown close by.

This article sounds a LOT like an ad for Anthropologie.

That is because it is the ad, it is a direct copy from http://www.anthropologie.com/companyinfo/our_story.jsp. If someone knows more about Anthropologie, please rewrite this page as the copy from the "our story" really added nothing and was not encylopedic. Shrek05 15:30 26 June 2006 (UTC)

I think the store listing just adds clutter to the page. maybe an external link to store listings?

Outside of sale items and the journals, the women I know who wear and have furniture from this store are in their 30s and/or own homes. I think it's fairly accurate. What 20 year old buys a $1200 chandelier, or shells out $60 for four desert dishes?
