    Sales: Gucci & Bottega Veneta

    Some presales are more difficult to infiltrate than others. Gucci and Bottega Veneta are two brands that like to stagger the opening of their markdown season starting with their best customers. Some consumers are happy knowing that loyalty pays off but we are true believers of equal opportunity shopping. Here are the details:

    Gucci
    The Gucci presale started today. Bags are 30% off and clothing and shoes are 40% off. Included in the sale are the Microguccissima, the Miss GGs, select color Bamboos, the Borsa Lady Tassel, the Soho, the Emily and more. The sale goes public Friday, November 28th. Take note, if you are shopping in the boutique you may find different price tags on the same item. There was recently a price increase and not all items have been updated to reflect the change. The online sale link is right this way: Gucci Sale.

    Bottega Veneta
    The Bottega Veneta presale started today for existing customers. Sales associates are “checking the computer system” to see if customers are eligible to participate in shopping the markdowns. Leather goods, like bags, wallets and belts are 30% off and clothing and shoes are 50% off. The sale goes public on December 1st and comes to a complete end on December 4th. The discounts are usually reflected online later in the season.

    Here are a few gift ideas even the most jaded woman won’t shear at. As always, we suggest you hold on to the receipt. And, PS, feel free to forward these ideas if you know someone you know needs some “guidance.”

    Barneys Presale Begins

    Barneys shoppers can begin to presale for the first markdown starting Monday. The discount is 40% across the board– clothing, shoes and bags for men, women and children. Besides for the outstanding selection, 40% discounts make Barneys the best department store to shop for holiday deals.

    Among the reduced items are Prosenza Schouler bags in several shades, like silver, blue, green and purple. Assorted Saint Laurent Sac de Jour bags, like the studded version. A small selection of Givenchy bags, like the HDG mini tote. In the shoe department, you can count on most of the Prada and Miu Miu collection to be discounted along with Valentino and Chloe.

    Barneys’ sales associates aren’t always forthcoming with presales. If there is an item you want to secure, we suggest that you give your name and number to the respective brand associate and have them call you when the discount becomes available. You can usually expect a call within  hours of leaving the store.

    Danger of Selling Out: 6 Must-Have Gift Items

    Every holiday season there are items so hot that retailers can’t keep them in stock. Before the turkey even gets into the oven, it’s hard to think ahead to what you might want and need. Take a tip from us, it’s never too early to start thinking about what’s hot, because if you don’t, you may find yourself paying more than you should during last minute desperation.

    In order to help you along, we’re forecasting the biggest sellouts of the season. This should give you a chance to get what’s hot now rather than trying to outbid the next guy. Good luck!

    Louboutin Polish $50
    Christian Louboutin is best known for his pricey shoes but this holiday season the designer’s newly launched red polish is sure to be a top sell-out. It’s the perfect luxury gift that says a lot without having to spend too much.

    Hunter Original Duffle Coat $695
    Finding the perfect coat that fits everyone perfectly is never going to happen but this duffle-style is as close to perfect as you’re going to get. The price point is quite accommodating and the style is catching the eye of shoppers. Expect this item to be picked up quickly after first markdown.

    Stella McCartney Rope Clutch $1520
    Hardly any stores purchased the rope-style bag and nearly everyone that did sold out. The clutch isn’t even listed on Net-A-Proter any more. This is the only retailer that we could find that still has this bag in stock. Get it before you can’t.

    Valentino Mini-Dress $7790
    That price tag may look like a typo, but it’s not. This dress is not far from 10-grand but is almost all sold out across the country. We suggest you jump on this purchase if you’re looking to ring in 2015 wearing Valentino polka dots. Nordstrom only has a size 10 and NAP only has three sizes left.

    Chanel Wallet On a Chain $2195
    Chanel’s Wallet on a Chain has become one of the hardest bags to get from the French fashion house. Inventory is sure to disappear before the holidays. We suggest you start your search now before prices on the secondary market skyrocket.

    NIKE + Riccardo Tisci Air Force 1 $340
    What happens when Givenchy’s Riccardo Tisci teams up with Nike? You get a sneaker sensation. This knee high sneaker is a fashion lovers dream. It’s eye-catching and hard to get. Buy now or you will be at eBay’s mercy.

    Presales: Bloomingdales, Reed Krakoff, Tom Ford

    Presales– the time before boutiques and department stores officially being sale season– can be a tricky time to shop. Not all sales associates are forthcoming about the discounts and some will completely deny having any knowledge of a sale. For this reason, we try to highlight the markdowns at as many stores as possible and share the inside scoop. Please feel free to add your personal experience and intelligence to the comment section below the post.

    Bloomingdales:
    The markdown designer markdown will officially begin on Saturday. You can expect to see a discount of 40% on most designer items. As usual, Chanel will not join the sale party until early December. Sale highlights include the fourth floor shoe section that is filled with plenty of Ferragamo and Prada. You can see lots of pictures from the shoe department after the jump.

    Reed Krakoff
    The Reed Krakoff sale is already in progress. Clothing from pre-fall and fall are now 50% off along with a selection of shoes and a few handbag styles. Highlights include a leather block sweatshirt that’s $645 from $1290, this gold leather trim dot dress that’s $1345 from $2590, a black and white snake print Atlantique that’s $845 from $1690. In the Reed Krakoff sale section you can also find lots of bags that are discounted 60% off.

    Tom Ford
    Don’t tell anyone we told you but Tom Ford is hosting a sale where much of the fall and winter collection of shoes and clothing is 40% off. Unfortunately, only past customers are able to shop the discount. If you’re not “in the system” we suggest you drop a person’s name who you know is a regular Tom Ford customer. The sale discount on bags is very small and the discount is only 30% off. Included in the markdown is a large Jennifer Tote, a Jennifer cross body in white, a Natalia clutch in red, the Alix shoulder bag in a calf hair cheetah print and a neutral suedes and a gold suede, Even though you may prefer to rock Tom Ford over popping molly, the iconic dress isn’t included in the markdown and is still over $6k.
