American Apparel, Brooklyn’s No. 1 source for hurricane supplies, has issued one of the first incidences of capitalizing on this storm which, in case you forgot, has killed 35 people in the U.S. and destroyed a whole neighborhood in Queens. But hey, the cardigan economy is hurting too. What do we make of this, brokesters?
The subject line of the email, sent last night at 11:30pm, was:
☁ ☂ ϟ Hurricane Sandy Sale! ϟ ☂ ☁ 20% Off Everything!
Thanks to Sarah Herbst for the tip!

kill me.
Because why donate clothes to people who've been pushed out of their homes when you can sell them instead...?
A lot of other companies were doing this (Steven Alan, for instance). Stupid, yes, but lets not make American Apparel the scapegoat.
Just now I received an email from Jonathan Adler, "Storm our Site!" free shipping with code SANDY.
Since when have people started caring about Queens?
