It's been a rough few years for American Apparel.
After the brand filed for bankruptcy twice, was purchased by Canadian clothing maker Gildan, and closed all of its brick and mortar stores, we thought we'd seen the last of American Apparel.
Luckily, as Refinery29 pointed out, the brand best known for its retro styles and comfy basics is back — but only online via its newly relaunched website.
On August 4, Racked reported that Gildan promised that the brand would be back "in the next few weeks," so American Apparel's digital-only relaunch is certainly a surprise.
The relaunch is especially exciting as the brand is selling pieces that look almost exactly like its classic fan favorites at affordable prices.
