Urban Outfitter’s older and more settled sister, Anthropologie combines wearable pieces with catwalk trends. Unique hippie-style pieces and classic silhouettes with innovative designs and sumptuous materials.

That said, they still have the locations and reach the locations where your order is unlikely to sell.
