It’s only a few more days until the launch of Marni for H&M, and although I love Marni, the thought of waiting in line leaves me cold.  Literally. After all, it’s March, and that means it’s cold around most of the world.  Unfortunately, if you want your Marni for less, you’ll have to wait in line for quite awhile before the stores open this Thursday, March 8th.  H&M has released their usual rules of engagement for shopping the collection.  In case you haven’t seen then, to score the deals, you’ll need to be one of the first 300 in line at your local H&M.  Per H&M:

“The first 300 people in line will be given a colored bracelet; there are 10 colors with one for each group of 30 customers. Your color determines when it’s your time to shop in the designer collection area. Each group will have 15 minutes to shop, with 5 minutes between slots. The bracelets are only for customers shopping the Marni collection and are used to shorten the queue and make your shopping experience easier. ”

With the Versace for H&M collection, I just couldn’t face the lines or the swarms of eBayers, looking to get in quick and take as much as they can.  It just takes the joy out of the shopping experience. With Versace, I got the jewelry I wanted after launch day some at the Century City, Los Angeles store and some at the Sunset store.  It’s always possible to wait a few days and get returns. In the US, I think it’s possible there will be returns as Marni is not as well known as Versace was in the United States.  What do you think readers? Are you going to line up for this collection or go to work?
