Snooping Through Barneys Sale, 35+ Pics

Most New Yorkers are finally back from holiday and on the top of most every fashion-lovers to-do list is to check out the sales. We scoured the sale racks at Barneys today and were delighted to see how much inventory was still available. As a matter of fact, there is certainly something for everyone.

The discount on the very small amount of left over bags and small leather goods is 40%. We found a PS1 in light blue suede, two Marni fringe totes and accessories, Balenciaga iPhone sleeves and a few Chloe accessories and bags. Head this way to see pictures of the first floor sale selection.

Almost all clothing is now 60% and there is a great selection from which to choose. If you’re a fan of Balenciaga, you’ll be especially pleased. During our shopping hunt, we found two classic Balanciaga moto jackets. One is soft blue and the other is a light shell pink. Both come to just over $1000 from $2650. A black and white body-con knit dress comes to about $500 from $1155 and a sweater with mesh overlay is is $529. All the aforementioned items are right here for your drooling pleasure.

Take note, that the in-store selection is a lot better than what you will find online. While browsing the second through fifth floors we found basic Prada knits that are in the $300 range, a zebra pint Balmain knit that’s $349, a Derek Lam color block dress is $799 from almost $2000, a Lanvin pleated dress for about $2000 from more than $5000 and a Bottega Veneta coat is $1400 from $3500. Among the Givenchy sale merchandise is a sweatshirt for $399 and an elaborate tapestry moto jacket for $910 from $2200.

The shoe assortment isn’t any less impressive. All shoes are 60% off. Chanel is the only exception and is 40% off. Among the selection there are Louboutin high boots with grommets that are $1399 from $3500, Chanel thigh high boots with a pearl lined heel for $1949 from $3250, classic Alaia booties for $1339 from $3340, more classic Chanel pumps for $619 from $1025 and Fendi slingback sandals for $339 from $850.

As we’ve been saying for some time, the shoes at Barneys are discounted more than most any other local department store. You can find some local stores with discounts topping 70% but the cross section of Barneys make this a must-shop.
