I hate admiting this since I’m a guy but I love Lululemon Athletica’s products! Although Lululemon seems to be focused more on women’s athletic, yoga and sports clothing I find their their men’s line consists of loads of top quality items and surpasses anything produced by companies like Nike or any other top athletic brand. I also like the fact that their company originates from Canada and their head quarters are based in Vancouver, BC.
I only had one tiny problem with Lululemon; whenever I visited a store I couldn’t help but notice that in like 90% of the cases I was the only guy shopping there. I didn’t really care but now I can shop online at Lululemon’s newly launched online shopping store if I preferred. Hey I could even shop nude if I wanted to! No no don’t panic it was just an assumption… or maybe not 😛
I know at this point you’re probably wondering if Lululemon paid me to write this article or what! But I swear they didn’t, I just love unique high quality brands that at the same time offer real practical clothing and not just size zero clothes targeted at fake non-existent body shapes. All Lululemon’s photos are of “real women” and their product line targets “normal” bodies. I think the online store will give more people an opportunity to try out Lululemon’s products and maybe with time they’ll have promos and offers at their online store! Now that is something I’m looking forward to!
Shipping fees are a bit steep though in my opinion if you’re buying one item; but if you buy more they tend to get better. I hope they can find a way of reducing shipping costs. Current ground shipping fees are:
- 1 items: $9.95
- 2 items: $11.95
- 3 items: $13.95
- 4 items: $15.95
- 5+ items: $17.95
With the launch of online shopping Lululemon have also redesigned their website. The new website has loads of new features including an Education section that has Yoga 101 info. All that being said I still think that if you do have a local Lululemon store then shopping there is also a great experience. You get to try on your clothes and make sure it fits perfectly and you also get a free complimentary yoga class. Lululemon also has one of the best staff members I’ve ever dealt with and I really can’t emphasize this enough! I’m actually very interested in finding out what their staff recruitment process is like because whatever they do, they’ve perfected it.
I’ll keep you guys updated of any promos or coupon codes that Lululemon come out with on their Online Shopping website. Happy nude shopping!

I’m so excited that Lululemon has an online store! I don’t shop there often, but when I do I know exactly what size I am as they are very consistent with the sizes.
Why charge for shipping? 90% of online stores in the US don’t charge for shipping and this likely encourages more frequent purchases. Sheesh, when are Canadian online retailers going to get it?
boos a PERV. boos a PERV!!!!
lol
My gf was excited too when LLL came to Halifax. That was until she went into the store and checked the tags. It wasn’t the inflated prices that caused the downer ( although that would do it for me ), it was the fact that this ” Canadian ” company, has all it’s stuff MADE IN CHINA !!!!
Don’t wave that Maple Leaf so fast.
Um sorry, but I’d like to point out one thing: what isn’t made in China? American brand name companies have things made in China too, does it mean that those stores should be Chinese? Haha, maybe they should be. =)
Anyway, I am glad lululemon now has a store online. I don’t really care for their high priced yoga gear (no matter how much more comfortable people say they are than the “regular” stuff), but I am excited that I can order their bags from their website now! I find their bags to be pretty durable and it makes it a lot easier to get my hands on bags that sell out fast. =)
I am a Lululemonaholic. Not only is their clothing more comfortable, it fits better and wears better than other athletic wear I’ve tried. I also have 2 of their bags: one for the gym and one for work.
The online store will be great when the local stores run out of a colour/size that I want (I ended up hunting down a pair of clamdigger pants in Hawaii of all places last year after loving my first pair and not able to find any more in the city).
Halifax, some of their stuff is indeed made in Canada. Two of the three I quickly peeked at from my closet were and I’ve noticed several in store when looking at labels.
Boo, Lululemon should pay you for the blog you just wrote! 😀
I’m sorry but if that is what you consider to be “normal body shape” for women you haven’t looked outside a magazine lately…..
Shipping (ground) is free with code “bamboozled” 🙂
boo should get fired
cant believe he wrote that!!!!
perhaps they’d not ignore the large percentage of the population that is over a size 12 (pants) or size 14 (tops) –
and their product line targets “normal” bodies
IM A SIZE 24
Why shamelessly plug LLL when they are so overpriced and have nothing to do with shopping ‘smart’? I cannot justify paying $70 for a tank top or $200 for a bag to hold my yoga matt even in better economic times.
Entries like this disappoint me because obviously if I am coming to your site it is because I am interested in saving money & spending my money wisely. I would not be doing either if I shopped at LLL!
@ SarahB you have a good point about their prices. Lululemon’s prices aren’t exactly the cheapest but you know how sometimes you like something so much that you wouldn’t mind saving and spending money on. Lululemon is one of these cases for me personally. I just blog from a personal perspective sometimes and that tends to annoy some people. My intentions were to share something I like with my readers and I’m sorry if my post bothered you and thanks for the constructive criticism!
sujan, if you’re a size 24 that really isn’t normal. No need to get worked up about it.
FIRE BOO
This post definitely read like a piece of copy sent direct from that companies marketing dept to simulate grassroots support for their online shopping scheme.
The way it read I thought you were a woman, talking about shopping naked and yoga gear, then I read you weren’t… then the whole post just seemed a little creepy and the only explanation was that this is a paid spot.
Not that I really care, I come to SC coupons/freebies anyway and I understand you need something to fill the page when there’s no free stuff.
Keep up the great work!
Higgins, i was not paid for that post. If I was paid I’d say so.
CONTACT HEAD OFFICE HE WAS PAID
sujan grow up
grow up =I HOPE YOU ARE NOT EMPLOYED RATHER A VOLUNTEER YOUR LANGUAGE IS UNACCEPTABLE
did you read what you wrote above
ITS VERY OFFENSIVE!!!
WAITING FOR AN APOLOGY
HOW MUCH DID THEY PAY U
They paid me $75 to read it…
Whoa, some of these posts are way over the top. How could you think that Boo was a women taking about shopping for yoga stuff? His first line states he’s a guy! There’s no need to bash Boo because he posted about LLL, there’s nothing really wrong with it at all. I actually appreciate him bringing the online store to my attention. Some of you people need to to lighten up a bit, not every post on this blog needs to be tailored to you.
Well written Amy, I agree…
you are right amy
Hey hey hey now. You get what you pay for. Lululemon has great quality clothing. I don’t mind paying $70 for a pair of pants that will still look brand new in 4 years time (literally). I would NOT rather, go to Zellers and buy a pair of $15 pants that I would have to replace in 8 months time.
Granted, their prices aren’t exactly cheap; but their gear, in my opinion, is worth the dough.
And I have to agree with Nancy, the clothes stand the test of time. I’d rather buy quality gear the first time rather than replacing often.
It’s great if you can take advantage of a sale like LLL’s warehouse sale, but if you are going to buy their goods, any way to save a bit of money is a good thing.
Thanks Boo for this deal!
Great! Now I can get ripped off in store AND online!
This store is overrated.
Lmao Deb S.
I am one of the LuluLemon’s fans, their pants always fit me very well. I admit it is overprice but since I can’t find other products that can beat Lululemon especially for their high quality fabric and trendy style, I don’t mind buying them, for style, and comfort!
Maybe someone should open a Liliguava store that can beat Lululemon in terms of quality and price? 🙂
Boo, piece of advice; You must be very careful when you use the word “normal” when referring to the female bod. Some women get super offended, and rightly so, I hope it gets them to take care of their bodies rather than abuse them.
peace
I have to agree with their mens line. I am an elite marathoner and wear all of their run stuff as well as their casual clothes. I have pants that I have literally had for 8 years and they still look new.
When I look at other stuff and feel the fabric, I pretty much roll my eyes. Nike, Adidas, you name it. Just experiment with their technical fabrics and you’ll see what I mean.
Yes, you get what you pay for. And its an athletic company, they do not cater to people that are out of shape. That is called selling to your market and not trying to be everything to everyone.
Smart business.
I must express thanks to you for bailing me out of this type of setting. As a result of checking through the online world as well as coming across proposals which aren’t productive, I was considering my entire life was done. Living without the presence associated with approaches to the problems you have resolved all through the website is a crucial case, as well as the ones that might possess badly damaged my personal entire career basically hadn’t encountered the website. Your mastery and kindness within taking care of almost everything had been helpful. I’m not sure what I would have done basically hadn’t come across such a thing like this. I can at this moment look forward to my future. Thanks to you for the reliable and result oriented guide. I won’t think twice to propose the website to anybody who needs recommendations about this subject.
I have been surfing on-line more than three hours as of late, yet I by no means discovered any interesting article like yours. It’s lovely price enough for me. In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you probably did, the internet will likely be a lot more helpful than ever before.
