Ask HN: Where to find retailer's catalogs in PDF? Any centralized archive?

1 points by mickelsen ↗ HN
Do you know of any effort in archiving recent catalogs from retailers? I'm looking for fashion brands like RL, JCrew, Zara, Suit Supply, Uniqlo, HM, etc. Also furniture and home goods brands: Ikea, Muji, BoConcept, RH, Crate, etc. It could be global brands like those, but I'm also interested in other markets, especially Asia.

With fashion stuff it's proving to be extra hard as they usually don't offer them as downloadables from their websites, which often have terrible and quirky navigation, sometimes meant just to showcase their rapidly changing seasonal collections.

Public archives or z-lib like sites don't have much, more often they carry historic stuff.

I know of a company that does this in Spain and Latin America called Tiendeo.com, you can check the same catalogs, catalog-magazine hybrids, ad inserts brands publish in different media, whether print or digital.

Any ideas on where to go? Or am I stuck just browsing each brand? Thanks!
