I haven’t been in a mall in at least a decade. I wasn’t sure they existed any more. I know what Claire’s is as do most people alive and shopping in the 90s.
It’s junk jewelry & a place you’d get your ears pierced in the 90s. You’d walk in with a parent, pick some studs, and they’d use an earring gun on your lobes.
It’s older than American Eagle, in terms of mall fare. Spencer’s & Claire’s were in every mall back in the day.
This isn’t a defense of cheap jewelry post, it’s an I find your statement odd post.
I grew up in the 90s and 00s, and I've always seen them, but my friend group never visited one, talked about it, not even a passing mention on school campus talking about what we did over the weekend. There were a decent number of stores that were regulars to visit, but Claire's definitely wasn't one of them.
Maybe we were more thrifty than others - we'd window shop a ton, but only buy something if it was planned. But the Walmart and Target down the road, that saw a lot more spur-of-the-moment purchases.
