Chanel is one of the hardest brands to track during the markdown season. The company is secretive and riddled with rules that are always changing. This season, Chanel is hosting a private sale of past season merchandise with a discount of 40% on most items.
Technically speaking, Chanel boutiques haven’t had a markdown in over a year. We are told that the new sale philosophy is to only discount merchandise that’s over a year old. That means that most of the sale merchandise, this season, is from the cruise 2018 Greece collection and the Summer 2018 Waterfall collection.
Before you get too excited, there are no bags included int he markdown. Most of the sale selection is comprised of clothing. There is also a bit of jewelry and shoes. We spent the day accumulating pictures and gathering information from various retailers that carry Chanel. You can click here to see what we found. Take note, the shoe list is quite vast but you might have a better chance of catching a unicorn that finding any of the Chanel trainers at your local store.
The Chanel sale officially goes public on May 23. Private clients are invited to shop by appointment on Tuesday and Wednesday. The top floor of the flagship Chanel boutique (on 57th Street) will be roped off for sale. The selection is currently restricted and we couldn’t preview any of the merchandise.
From what we’ve seen, Bergdorfs has the most selection and size assortment and you can see it pretty freely. Bloomingdales has a few rolling racks and six shoe styles. The inventory at Saks is organized, accessible but small. Our favorite pieces are a four-button hot-pink cardigan that comes to $1224 from $2040 and a deep pink wool one-button jacket that’s $2550 from $4250. Click here to see pictures of clothing, jewelry, and shoes that will be part of the sale.
This Chanel sale is going to be very popular and there isn’t a ton of merchandise., If you’re willing to shop for Chanel sales that are a little off the grid you should consider calling Greenwich, CT, Hirshleifer’s on LI and Jeffery’s downtown.
