For those of us procrastinators, it can be quite stressful figuring out what gifts to give. This year, why not give dear old dad something different – does he really need another animal print Hermes tie? We searched Madison Avenue boutiques and found some special shops where you can purchase your Father’s day gift on sale, naturally! We do suggest checking on their sales item return policy – just in case
.
Manrico Cashmere
Manrico Cashmere has marked down the majority of their menswear. Lightweight cashmere normally ranges from $540 to $700 is marked down anywhere from 30% to 50%. They also had some really nice cashmere peacoats. Even at 50% off a retail price of $3800 may still be expensive for a gift for dad.

Davide Cenci
The Davide Cenci boutique is known for their fine tailoring and collared shirts normally priced from $240 to $270. They are now 40% off. If you are pooling gift resources with your siblings, they have a great selection of unconstructed sports jackets as well racks of Loro Piana outerwear starting around $1400, included in the 40% markdown.
Giorgio: 212-628-5911

Giorgio’s of Palm Beach
A bit further downtown is the menswear staple Giorgio’s of Palm Beach. Don’t let the name fool you – they have plenty of custom Italian-made Manhattan-appropriate men’s couture. While no sales prices are posted they are more than willing to work within your budget. Through a bit of yapping, a cashmere sweater normally priced $795 was reduced to $495. Everyone seemed very willing to work on prices throughout the store, so why not stop by and try your luck?

In addition, their seemingly endless selection of ties are marked down 40% off an origional price of $110 to $150.

Many of us are familiar with Herve Leger’s signature bandage designs by the seemingly endless list of Hollywood starlets and Bat Mitzvah guests donning his form fitting dresses. While his high-end collection by Max Azria are normally priced at about $1300, we discovered that his Madison Avenue boutique is now having a 40% off sale.

This boutique has a wonderful range of colors and styles of dresses, skirts, tops, and bathing suits that are all marked down. While it can be difficult to find basic colors in department stores, there are a number of popular styles and colors on sale in the boutique, including black and beige as well as more spring and summer hues. There are also a handful of embellished evening gowns marked down 40% to 60%.

For a better selection of unique dresses you can browse the online store, although we suggest hitting up the boutique first.

We just love the names brands call their unofficial first markdown. Most company’s call it a presale, others call it a private sale, we’ve even heard the phrase “customer loyalty” but Mulberry has coined their unofficial first markdown a “preview sale.” Persoanlly, we just call it a sale.

Now, Mulberry alerted customers about their unofficial sale today. Shoes, accessories and bags are 30% off. Clothing is up to 50% off. Mulberry fans will be very excited to know that even the iconic Alexa is included in the markdown.
