Barneys Warehouse Sale started today and we couldn’t imagine a group of more disappointed shoppers. All our shopping experts report that the merchandise is almost entirely from the men’s store and what women’s inventory does exist is less than desirable.
Basically, there are no good shoes, no good bags, no good clothing. For men, no good shoes and no good casual wear. The only spotlight, or in this case dim light, is suits and outerware for men. Sure it’s easy to put together critical words but we’ll let other say it for us, this time:
The Shophound: “If you are a lady, you probably won’t want to bother at all.” The sale is not something we would save our money for or even particularly look forward to.
Racked: The space is nice and easy to shop but “there wasn’t much to look at.”
The Choosy Beggar (comments): “The sale gets worse and worse every year.”
