Through the holiday weekend Bergdorf Goodman will be offering customers an extra 25% off merchandise that has already been discounted 75%. According to our inside sources the discount will begin on Friday and run through Monday.
We couldn't help from getting a jump on the big promotion weekend and scoped out what's still left at the Lavender Lady. Handbags and shoes are currently discounted 50%. The sale selection of bags can be found at the entrance on Fifth Avenue, closest to 58th Street.
Heading to the shoe department, we were focused on scoping out the items that are hard to find online: Celine, Louboutin and Chanel. Among the Chanel variety we found quilted mules that will be reduced to $360 from $925, high boots with a tweed upper and laced middle will be about $800 from $1950, white quilted calf-high boots with a black toe will be $560 from $1400 and gold loafers will come to $341 from $850. Among the Louboutins are black patent pumps with a big red heart that will be $320 from $800 and studded wedge sandals are the same price. Among the Celine shoes we found a white pointy toe variety with rivets will come to $480 from $1200. (More pictures can be found in the jump.)
If you head upstairs to the fourth floor, you will find the best discounts. Clothing is already reduced 75% and an additional 25% off will bring the grand total to 82% off retail. A Delpozo orange dress will tally to $332 from $1650, a Valentino skirt with a south-western print will be $360 from $1790 and a Fendi blazer with floral details will be about $530 from $2650. (You got it, we have pictures and prices of items here.)
This sale only lasts through Monday and there usually isn't a follow up discount like this in stores. The additional promotions are usually reserved for online shopping. Too bad the selection isn't as good.
The Net-a-Porter clearance sale kicked off today and many items have been reduced to 80% off. This third markdown is usually a shopping frenzy and the best items disappear rather quickly.
There is quite a bit of clothing reduced to 80% off retail but a lot of it appears to be from the past Summer season. This can workout well if you're socking up on what to bring on your next vacation. Among items you can wear now (in freezing New York) is this Erdem velvet trimmed dress that's $1170 from $5890, a marigold Isabel Marant cable knit sweater is $236 from nearly $800 and a funky print Moschino skirt is just $79 from $400.
We sincerely suggest you hop on the site as soon as humanly possible. Even while creating this post items were disappearing. Don't forget, we mainly focused on merchandise at 80% off. There's a huge amount of product that is discounted 70%. Happy shopping and please feel free to share your conquests in the comment section below.
Luxury retail stores are feeling the pressure to make room for the new cruise collections. In doing so, extra discounts promotions are being used to entice shoppers to 'buy more stuff.' Right now, Barneys is offering an extra 20% off already reduced coats, shoes and bags.
The shoe selection has a lot more options. Maison Margiela metal heel low boots are $471 from $1480 and Manolo BB pumps are about $220 from $700. The assortment in the store is even larger and the extra discount also applies to Chanel and Louboutin. There was even an ugly Chanel shoe siting where the final price was 80% off retail.
We don't know how long the markdown will last but we can't imagine it will be for very long. Barneys usually ships out its winter Merchandise before February.
Now that it's really cold we can't stop thinking about getting away to someplace warm. Okay, we admit, the trip is already booked and we are counting down the days. In less general terms that means we are stocking up on what to pack.
As is always, nothing from last Summer seems sufficient. For that reason, we have been stalking the sales racks for clothing to take on vacation. Even if it's from last season, we are happy if it's new.
We found the best selection at Intermix where the discount is topping 80% off.
The new year means many things to different people. To us, the new year is the start of Manolo season. Every year, the Manolo Blahnik boutique takes their first markdown following the big ball drop.
Currently, shoes and boots from the winter collection are now discounted to 33% off. This markdown should not cause too much excitement considering that department stores are running sales where Manolos are 60% off.
In less than three weeks you can expect the discount to drop to 50% off and by early February the discount climbs to 75% off. That's when we come running. You can click here to see our Manolo closeout coverage from last year were we found lots of ornate and iconic styles for just $250. For now, you can head to Saks Fifth Avenue where a large selection of shoes are discounted 65% or click above to see what we found around the web.

Neiman Marcus is the latest department store to take their winter merchandise to the third markdown. The discount at Neiman Marcus is officially up to 70% off and that includes some great shoes styles too.
Even though this is the final markdown, that doesn't mean there won't be additional discount promotions. Neiman Marcus often surprises customers with an additional 25% off discount or buy-more-save-more incentives. No worries, we'll keep you posted.
It's a new year and, of course, there are new trends.
Off White, which was launched in 2013 quickly became a streetwear brand with a large cult following all over the world. The brand originally made it's name for it's spray painted menswear but it's the woman's accessories that are catching fire.
During Paris fashion week, Off-White's Virgil Abloh (also Kanye's creative director) presented a women's collection that was displayed on the ground like traditional counterfeit merchandise. The see-now, buy-now collection was a hit and the Binder Clip Bag ($950) stole the show. The bag is quite minimalistic but punctuated by a binder clip closure and accompanied by an extra guitar strap that looks like a police tape with the company logo.
The bags quickly sold out when they became available after the fashion presentation but stores have recently been restocked. All the European sites sold out immediately but it appears as if the American market is a little behind on this trend. Right now, the Binder Clip Bag is currently available at Barneys (white is sold out), Maxfield (LA) and Hirshleifers (LI, NY).
We suggest you jump on this newest must-have right now or you'll stalking this relatively affordable it-bag until the next restock. We have no idea when that will be.
We highly suggest that you immediately click over to Bergdorf Goodman where you can now save up to 75% off winter merchandise. As a matter of fact, the prices at our violet home-away-from-home are more discounted than, even, Neiman Marcus.
The discount on shoes and handbags are unchanged but hold on. There are usually limited time promotions where sale merchandise is discounted an extra 20%. Just be careful, merchandise tends to go very quickly during this markdown.
