About Urban Outfitters
Urban Outfitters sells clothing, records and homeware to a student and young adult market, and its shops are deliberately styled as cluttered warehouses. It has drawn repeated criticism for selling designs closely resembling independent makers' work. It also sells vinyl records in sufficient volume to be among the largest physical music retailers in the United States, which few of its customers realise.
