When your favourite model is discontinued

Short answer: Manufacturers change their range at least once every year, often more. Find something that fits perfectly, and it is worth buying several right away rather than waiting until the model eventually disappears from the range altogether.

The range changes at least yearly

Most brands adjust their selection at least once a year based on sales and fabric availability. See bamboo underwear for women for a range that is continuously updated.

Buy several when something fits perfectly

If you have found the right fit, several copies are the safe solution going forward. See bamboo clothing for women for product types where fit matters especially much for you.

The successor is rarely identical to the original

A new version of the same model can have a different cut, a different yarn or a different wash than the one you know and like today.

Keep the label with the model name

With the name and size noted, the shop can find the closest successor, even once the original model has long since disappeared from the range and no longer exists.

Socks and t-shirts disappear most often

Certain product types like socks and t-shirts get swapped out more often than classic underwear. See bamboo socks for women as a product type where models are refreshed often.

Seasonal items disappear faster than basics

Colours and prints tied to a specific season often disappear faster than solid basics, which usually stay in the range year after year without major changes.

Ask the shop before you give up hope

Even if a model looks discontinued on the website, a small stock can still remain somewhere else. See bamboo t-shirt for women and ask about remaining stock if you are unsure.

Brand loyalty has a price

Stick with the same brand over the years, and sooner or later you experience a favourite model being discontinued. That is the price of having a brand you trust and know well.

Plan your next purchase in good time

If you have a model you love, keep an eye on whether it is still in stock, instead of waiting until it has completely disappeared from the shelves.

Check regularly for new arrivals

The shop keeps updating the range with new models and colours. An occasional look can reveal a successor close to your old favourite, long before you start actively searching for one yourself.

Frequently asked questions

Why do models get discontinued from the range?

Because manufacturers adjust their range at least yearly based on sales, fabric availability and demand in the market at that time, often several times a year.
