The handbag market has reached a tipping point where $3000 bags have become a bore. The newest status luxury item is outerwear but the best part is that prices are still quite affordable.

Those living in cold weather climates wear heavy coats and jackets for almost five months straight.  Now more than ever, fashion customers are demanding items that provide performance as well as fashion. Moncler and Canada Goose have heard the cries of consumers and grown exponentially.

More designers are beginning to take note and are enticing woman with a variety of colorful and dramatic winter jackets spanning from Balenciaga’s oversized quilted shell to Perfect Moment’s retro designs. Some big hits of the season include, Stella McCartney’s oversized denim jacket, Fendi‘s monster collection and Dsquared2 who has introduced a full assortment of ski items including, boots, pants and accessories.

If you are entranced by Perfect Moment’s form and function, you should shop around. We found that Matchesfashion retails the brand for about 30% less than NetAPorter. This red, white and blue jacket is $311 on Matches but $420 on NAP. Ski pants are $400 on NAP and just $300 on Matches.

See! It always pays to shop around.

Save 70% off at the Skull Cashmere and 360Cashmere sample sale. The sale will include clothing and accessories for women and men.

We have closely focused on the markdowns at stores in The City but that precludes one major fashion shopping destination: Nordstrom! At Nordstrom, shoppers will find lots of interesting sale items that may have already sold out at our local stores.

Right now, Nordstrom has an amazing selection of fashion that goes way beyond Uggs and Tory Burch. Even top designer items are discounted 40%, which tops the discounts at Bergdorf Goodman and Saks. Take a look at this gloved bag from Undercover that’s $536 from almost $900, that gold and black shearling jacket from Acne is now $1800 from $3000 and Valentino lace-up ballerina flats are $536 from $900.

Many of the most popular bags are already sold out online but there are still some good options. Here is a Chloe Hudson that’s priced at $1500 from $2250, an ornate Valentino Lock bag that’s $3100 from $5200 and a Saint Laurent wallet on a chain with studded hearts is $1200 from $1800.

We really encourage you to explore the sale section of ‘Space’ collection that go beyond basic fashion. Included in this all-star fashion line-up are: Junya Watanabe, Simone Rocha, Mira Mikati, Ellery, Roksanda and Undercover. As part of the most recent additions for cruise we absolutely love this Mira Mikati powder blue coat, this Roksanda bell sleeve blouse and this Jiwinaia ribbon chocker ($190) that also doubles as a bracelet.

It’s really novel to have such an offering from Nordstrom, which offers outstanding customer service and will even price match. Try getting Jeffery to price match!
