    Farfetch Discounts top 70%

    Farfetch is known for bringing the world’s most popular fashion boutiques, local and emerging designers, and brands to a single website. It almost makes us sad that we can shop our favorite Italian boutiques right here in New York. Some might say it takes away the adventure but it’s realistic to think that anyone can hop on a plane several times a year and great each new collection from their favorite stores.

    One of the other great things about Farfetch is that it makes markdowns available globally. Right now, the site is offering an additional 20% off all discounted merchandise. Just use the code x20feb15 at checkout. That means that you can find unbelievable items on sale from 26 different countries.

    We’ve never seen this Moschino Shift dress with a quilted bag that’s from Julian Fashion, in Milano, Italy. Then there is this check quilted jacket by Fey from the boutique Eraldo in Ceggia, Italy, which is about $444 from $1556. Here’s a floral print Marni blouse from the Parisian boutique, L’Eclaireur. Luxembourg-based Smets has this Kenzo print dress that comes to $310 from almost $900.

    One thing that we’ve noticed is that many American brands are more expensive when sold from foreign stores. We suppose that’s what happens when you pay duty twice. Speaking of which, all prices include duty and returns are free for 14 days after your purchase is received.

    What’s even cooler, is that Farfetch has click-and-collect service, which allows customers to purchase items online, then pick them up from any of 100 boutiques around the world. Best part, there are no associated shipping charges that can easily become expensive.

    This sale runs through Saturday, Feb 7th at 9am GMT. The last additional discount was the beginning of December but the discounts weren’t as good as they are now. It’s hard to predict global online markdowns but it’s an awful fun learning.

    Moncler 40% Off

    Every winter we receive dozens of email asking about scoring Moncler jackets and coats on sale. Truth be told there is a small window of time to capture the luxury puffer for a discount but you have to work fast.

    Right now, Bergdorf Goodman has a small selection of basic Moncler puffers and more fashion forward Gemme Rouge styles. A basic-style with chevron stitching in purple or blue are $740 from $1240. A print Gemma Rouge with a funnel collar is $1100 from $1830 and a shiny diamond stitch style is $779 from $1295. There are also several styles of jackets and coats made of leather but that almost seems to defeat the purpose. You can see pics of all the aforementioned Monclers over here.

    Chances are that there are some Monclers on sale at Barneys too but sales people are not likely to verify any information be phone. Remember, Moncler sale season is very short. If you don’t score one now, you can always try the outlet at Woodbury Common.

    Blue $740
    Purple $740
    Prada $830

    Ralph Lauren Ricky’s 50% Off

    The discount at Ralph Lauren has taken another turn south. The discount is now up to 75% off and there are lots of items that aren’t often on sale.

    Over here is a basic black or brown small Ricky tote for $979 from $1950 and the large size is $1129 from $2250. Sexy over the knee boots are $474 from $1500 and a Blue Label cashmere shawl sweater is $219 from almost $1000.

    You should take note that the new markdown just started today and this classic merchandise will not stick around for long. The final Ralph Lauren markdown is usually 80% but it’s usually hard to find many items that are desirable.

    You Must Be Kidding: Roger Vivier’s $70k Bag

    Last week we received the following email from a sales person from Roger Vivier:

    “We just received ONE handbag today, and it requests special attention.
    It is a limited edition from our SS2015 (Rendez-Vous), the bag made very beautiful black and white color crocodile skin, with brick-color leather lining inside. Retail at $69,400. That’s correct, $69,400!!” exclaims a Roger Vivier sales person.
    Even the sales person’s explanation points and reiteration of the price suggest the ridiculousness of the product.

    She continues, “The most expensive bag yet. We have at Roger Vivier, only one unit in the USA. The 2nd photo is a close-up of the skin front and back. The dimension is 12”H x 12.5”L x 5”W.“

    Hermes has proved that there is a market for handbags that sell for over $100,000. Finding a sucker to shell out $70k on this bag of questionable design is far less likely.  Vivier has no secondary-market track record on products at their price point.

    Lets take a vote of hands: Who here would spend $75,559.25 (including New York sales tax) on this Roger Vivier purse? Next Question: Who would want the bag for 90% off?
