    Bergdorfs Private Online Sale

    First Neiman Marcus sent out their link to their best customers. Now Bergodrf Goodman has a hidden passage to get discounts on their site.

    As with Neimans, the discount is about 30% to 40% off across the board. The selection is currently top notch and much better than what’s left on Neimans. For some reason, though, the shoe collection seems a bit anemic.

    We found a $1,895 oversize YSL Muse reduced to $1,270. A Dolce & Gabbana Tulip Chiffon Blouse was $1,095 and is now $657.

    Be careful, some boutiques are running better sales than department stores. For example, Herve Leger is 35% off at Bergdorfgoodman.com but the boutique is 40% off (sizes and styles at the boutique are already depleated though.) Chloe is 40% off here but 50% off on Madison Avenue. So before you click to buy do a search. It’s right there on the top left.

    Chanel Sale 40% Off

    The Chanel sale begins Wednesday. Shoes and ready-to-wear are 40% off. There are only two styles of bags on sale and they are both a seasonal fabric style. We hear 57th Street unsurprisingly has the best selection but usually the worst service due to the inundation of tourists. Head over to Madison for more personalized attention.

    Neiman Marcus “Best Customer” Sale

    The big spenders of Neiman Marcus are often thanked with pre-discount shopping incentives. Today, the department store’s best customers were offered an exclusive web link to an online sale, shoes and bags are 33% off, designer apparel is 40% off and contemporary clothing is up to 50% off.

    Speaking of Neiman Marcus, a Mad-Spy today wrote us saying that the Bergdorfs sale has already started. The sale wasn’t scheduled to to begin until Wednesday but maybe Bergdorfs is starting to feel the heat from Barneys and Saks 40% off…

    DVF Sample Sale and More

    We don’t post many sample sales and when we do they are usually exclusive deals or extreme discounts. The Diane von Furstenberg’s sample sale is neither but still draws our attention and the attention of chic girls, stylish women and elegant ladies from all over the area.

    Today we hit the press preview bright and early. There was no line when we entered and the crowd was tame but lively. There is an amazing assortment of merchandise and more wrap dresses and shirts than you could imagine. Prices are as follows:

    DVF wrap dresses and vintage: $150
    Dresses: $125
    Jackets: $125
    Blouses: $80
    Skirts: $80
    Pants: $80

    The best deals are the samples, which are all $50 and the worst deals are the cover-ups, which are $100. Even with the substantial retail discount the prices add up quickly when you start piling on the dresses. The sale runs through Saturday and as the week progresses there are usually markdowns. Friday seems like a good day to hit up 29th Street again.

    Address: 260 Fifth Ave b/w 28th and 29th St
    Dates and Hours: Tuesday, June 2nd through Saturday, June 6th. Tue 9am—6:30pm; Wed 10am—8pm; Thu 10am—7pm; Fri 9am—5:30pm; Sat 9am—3pm.

    Marc Jacobs 70% Off

    The Marc Jacobs boutique in SoHo– not to be confused with the Marc Jacobs section of the West Village– is hosting a 70% off sale. All spring ready-to-wear, shoes and jewelry are discounted by two-thirds. Bags are not discounted at all so if you’re looking for a good MJ bag discount you might want to head over to Barneys or Saks.

    Oscar de la Renta 50% Off

    The entire Oscar de la Renta spring collection is 50% off, including ready-to-wear, handbags, shoes, belts, sunglasses and fashion jewelry. The sale is also online for your viewing and shopping pleasure.

    Most dresses started off at about $7000 and are about $3500 now. Shoes are in the $600 to $700 range and are now, well, half that. The after sale price for sunglasses averages around $150 and handbags are, not very attractive, so don’t worry about it.

    The site also has an outlet where the inventory from prior collections is also 50% off. We don’t understand that pricing rational but maybe other shoppers do. Last season, the collection went to 70% off. So if you’re looking for a great deal you might want to wait four to six weeks.

    Louboutins and Choos

    Choo shoes and Louboutin shoes are officially going on sale at their respective boutiques starting Friday. The spring/ summer collection at Christian Louboutin will be 40% off. We are told that there is still a good selection of shoes and sizes but you should go now because there will not be any further discounts.

    As for Jimmy Choos, the discount is 30% off. The sale includes the summer and cruise collection, as well as select bags. There was a private sale last week but we were left in the dark due to a dim sales woman who believed that the sale would not begin until the fall. Don’t fret, we have the situation under control and Faisa will be taking care of all our Jimmy Choo “needs.” going forward.
