DELIVERY OF YOUR HOLLISTER US PURCHASES at your house in France​

ColisExpat receives your Hollister US purchases and forwards them at your house in France.

Hollister has been appealing for years with its “casual” universe inspired by California, its trendy collections, and its affordable prices. Unfortunately, the brand does not offer a true e-commerce solution for French and European consumers.

Fortunately, there is a simple and effective solution to order from international Hollister sites: package forwarding. It allows you to order from any foreign Hollister marketplace and receive your items directly in France.

In this guide, discover how to access Hollister’s global offering from France with ColisExpat.

Hollister : Presentation of the brand and its offering

A symbol of relaxed Californian style, Hollister has been appealing for more than two decades to young people looking for a look that is both trendy, comfortable, and accessible. Discover the history, values, and collections of this iconic American brand now well established in France.

Hollister : an iconic “Made in USA” brand

The Hollister brand was created in 2000 by Abercrombie & Fitch with the goal of targeting a younger audience and offering more affordable prices. From its beginnings, it positioned itself as the embodiment of the Californian lifestyle: relaxation, sun, and surf.

This strong identity quickly appealed to American teenagers and young people. In only three years, Hollister managed to surpass the revenue of its parent brand.

The brand is easily recognizable thanks to its iconic logo representing a seagull with outstretched wings, a symbol of freedom, boldness, and also travel. The clothing and other accessories display a relatively simple and relaxed style by simply featuring the logo and the name of the brand as well as inscriptions referring to California for certain items.

Products sold by Hollister in France and everywhere in the world

While Abercrombie & Fitch offers high-end items, Hollister positions itself in the mid-range segment in order to meet the expectations of young people looking for style and comfort. The items sold are of good quality and accessible at relatively affordable prices.

The product range offered by Hollister mainly includes :

• Clothing for men and women : the brand offers a complete collection of trendy clothing including jeans, pants, shorts, t-shirts, polo shirts, hooded sweatshirts (hoodies), jackets and coats, socks, and pajamas ;
• Underwear and swimwear : Hollister has developed a line of comfortable and stylish underwear as well as a swimwear collection perfect for embodying the Californian beach spirit ;
• Accessories : the brand completes its offering with signature fragrances, shoes, bags, caps, belts, and other fashion accessories.

Why doesn’t Hollister deliver to France and Europe ?

The Hollister brand does not offer direct online sales in France, nor in most European countries. This shipping restriction can be explained by several factors :

• Commercial and logistics strategy : the brand prioritizes sales in its physical stores and certain selected markets through authorized distributors ;
• Costs and customs complexity : delivering directly to Europe can generate high costs and administrative challenges related to taxes, customs, and regulatory compliance ;
• Control of the brand image : Hollister wishes to maintain a certain control over the customer experience and the quality of service, which is more difficult to guarantee through international online sales.

This is a major disadvantage that forces consumers to go to stores to make their purchases, which can be problematic in certain regions of mainland France. Another solution consists of buying Hollister items on reseller e-commerce platforms. The choice is however highly limited and the prices often higher.

Tip : use a package forwarding service, such as ColisExpat, to order from international Hollister sites from France, Belgium, or Guadeloupe.
