    Follow the Markdown: Chanel Boots

    Today, I happened upon the most peculiar pair of Chanel boots. They are a calfskin short boot that is set on a platform that looks like faux-verdigris.

    When I asked to try them on, a group of salesmen started to chuckle. Turns out, I was the first customer to slip on these artful boots. They’ve been in the store since late-August!

    Needless to say, these boots are bound to get majorly reduced from their price tag of about $1200. The only question is how much? Lets take bets. How much do you think these boots will be marked down? Remember, there is none of the double-Cs, chains or quilting that comfort many Chanel customers.

    My bet is $500. Worth it? For sure!

    Meet Matthew Williamson

    How crowded were the streets during Fashion’s Night Out? Too crowded for us and there weren’t even sales! Considering how many people love to meet fashion designers we thought it was post worthy to mention an appearance from one of our besties.

    Matthew Williamson will be hosting a book signing at his Meatpacking District boutique tomorrow night. Of course, there will be cocktails. In our experience, where ever MW goes, a serious party follows. This event is compelty open to the public and you can be sure there will be great cloths and music.

    Luxury Without the Splurge

    It can be exhausting to wait for a great deal when you’ve already fallen in love with an item. How would you feel if you could make that lust purchase right now and not have to worry about the consequences of your credit card bill?

    Penny auctions are a great way to score your dream splurge without the actual splurge. Take ScoreLuxe.com as a prime example. ScoreLuxe.com is a high-end penny auction, which allows you to buy bids and score great luxury items for a fraction of their retail price.

    What’s even better is that all the items on the site are purchased directly from the retailer and are guaranteed authentic and brand new. Last week, a $915 Chanel wallet sold for just $1.26. That’s less than an iced-tea!

    This Thursday, you can stop lusting and start shopping. Bidders can snag a $500 Saks gift card for just dollars. Yes, it may cost $50 to buy 50 bids, but you’re still way ahead of the game even if your gift card sells for $10. A $500 Saks gift card for $60 is a score in our book. How about yours?

    What’s better? That Saks gift card can take you 20% farther because the of department store’s friend’s and family discount. A great deal on top of a great deal. Shopping doesn’t get any better.

    Check out ScoreLuxe.com to score great deals on upcoming auctions like $500 gift cards from Louis Vuitton, Tiffany and Neiman Marcus.

    Coming Soon: Warren-Tricomi on Madison

    For the past two years the Plaza Hotel has been home to the famous Warren-Tricomi salon. Now Edward Tricomi aka “Edward Scissorhands” and his coloring partner, Joel Warren, are opening a second location on Madison Avenue.

    Francky L’Official was formerly in the space at 1117 Madison Avenue, at 84th Street, but cut his overhead by relocating to a second floor pace on Madison and 80th Street. The new Warren-Tricomi salon will be open by December and will be home to a new roster of stylists, in addition to several veterans. We hear that both Edward and Joel will designate time uptown.

    This satellite location should be a good way to lure a steady schedule of UES locals to the client roster. We imagine the Plaza’s customer is more likely to be a tourist or special occasion client rather than a three-week blond. Either way, W-T is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. For those willing to try it out, we highly recommend Ammon Carver for both cut and color.

    Chanel: Another Price Increase

    This summer, Madison Avenue Spy was the first publication to report that Chanel would be raising their prices 20% to 30% on classic handbags. Chanel customers were shocked and reminiscent of the days when bags were a mere grand. Now we hear that the cost of some Chanel bags are about to get another price hike.

    A Chanel employee says, the classic Jumbo and Maxi sized bags are about to get a redesign, which will include an extra flap. The cost of the extra leather will set customers back about $300 on the Jumbo sized bag. The price of this popular bag is currently $3700 and is expected to jump to $4000. The price of the Maxi bag is still unknown.

    A $300 increase may not seem earth shattering but consider this: With tax, the Classic Jumbo will cost a total of $4,355! That’s about the same price as one month’s rent for junior four on the Upper East Side.

    The sales increase will not be immediate. The new design will be available as part of Chanel’s cruise collection, which will be in stores in November/December. This means that you will still be able to get the old style, and old price until about February.

    So, Jumbo Caviar or junior four, you decide.
