- Brandy Melville is closing all in-store fitting rooms nationwide in a new policy confirmed by The Independent.
- Employees in Boston and Austin reportedly indicated the closures were due to “vandalism,” such as chewing gum on curtains, and customer complaints about privacy.
- The decision has generated significant backlash from customers, especially given the brand's existing no-return policy for in-store purchases.
- Brandy Melville has previously faced criticism for its “one-size-fits-all” clothing and was featured in a 2024 HBO documentary alleging promotion of eating disorders and sexualization of young employees.
- The company operates stores in 24 U.S. states and the District of Columbia and has not publicly addressed the documentary's accusations or the specific reasons for the fitting room closures.
