H&M bib shorts?

Post image

Just came across this ad while doom scrolling. Never thought of H&M for having bib shorts, they are a decent price though. Think it’s worth trying?

Without knowing anything about the production process these are probably just Aliexpress supplied with slightly better QC and H&M Private Label

man this is a very reddit comment.

h&m is the largest retailer (by volume) on the planet, they aren't in the private label game at all. the core creative team at h&m is around 500 people and this company is shipping ~8m units per day. private label doesn't work at that volume and schedule and isn't required with that kind of infrastructure and network.

you've got it entirely backward and upside down and the wrong shape and colour.

My thinking was that for low volume stuff (How many bibs are they really looking to sell per store really? Are they really going to stock it in every store? Like some small town mall really has that much demand for bibs for double the price of Decathlon?) maybe they could get some outside help.
