No no, they are in person. I first saw them at the store and they struck my curiousity. They are supposed to be like 80s inspired modern clothing, hence the name 1981. But you can shop them online, and they are in malls, but not everywhere. You have to search the locations probably and try to find it. But they are really nice!! I'd shop there more if I could find more of them.
One thing I don't like is whenever I go in there, I feel weird because a lot of little teens shop there. I dont really care cause I like the clothes, but its like I feel I shouldn't be in a little teens shop, like Aeropostale or something. But whatever, I'll have to get over that, lol.
