Have you heard of Lululemon ???

If you are into yoga, you might have heard of the Vancouver-based clothing company Lululemon .  Well I’m a customer so was really interested in what’s going on lately with the company as they are  facing new complaints about their yoga pants. After pulling the pants from shelves because they were too sheer, the new yoga pants are generating the same complaints, and a few others. Customers are saying that the new yoga pants are still too sheer and they are pilling after only a few months of wear. They also come apart at the seams.

Many customers say they are really happy with the product and others say they are having problems.“One pair was see-through and then one pair pilled, and then I had a hoodie and it pilled, and I think it was another pair of pants I took back,” says one Vancouver customer. “Just abnormal wear and tear.”

Their problem aint over as the Lululemon founder Chip Wilsonwas forced to apologize recently  after he essentially called a segment of his customers too fat for the brand. "Some women's bodies just don't actually work" for the company's $100 yoga pants, he said during a Bloomberg TV interview. Later Wilson said that he was "sad for the repercussions" of his actions. The remarks certainly won't help the brand recover from its see-through-pants debacle and subsequent stock plunge from earlier this year.
