I received the alert today that the Barneys markdown is now up to 75-percent off on “select” fall/winter merchandise. My question is: on what?! After work, I made my way over to the Madison Avenue store, just to see what actually was discounted and by how much?
Just days before Christmas… and retailers are offering holiday discounts. One of them, Barneys where its now at the second markdown at up to 60-percent off selected items…
What else can I add about the Barneys Warehouse Sale? It’s the bottom of the barrel and Barneys isn’t the only one scraping it. I stopped in tonight after surveying the goods at Chelsea’s Housing Works store down 17th Street (I’ll publish a post about Housing Works’ “Best of Fall” sale sometime tomorrow).
With only three more days of the Barneys Warehouse Sale, organizers have slashed sale prices even further – 40 to 75 percent off. Sunday afternoon was not too crowded. Women’s designer, RTW and shoes are now an extra 50-percent off… men’s suits, shoes, trousers and sportcoats are an additional 40-percent off [...]
With the sale ending in a few days, the Barneys Warehouse Sale has slashed sale prices further for the Holiday weekend… Check out the complete price list above. The selection is pretty much picked over. But if you’re willing (and in the mood) to dig through the merchandise, you might find a few things.
The first markdowns at the Barneys Warehouse Sale has already started… I found out tonight when I popped into the space in Chelsea. A staffer told me that they began offering further discounts on Sunday when they were open for four hours after Hurricane Irene moved north.
Moving onto gifts for home and kids wear, Laura Baumgartner checked out Chelsea Passage and the stuff for kids… Here’s her report:
Chelsea Passage is located on the main floor near the women’s designer goods, in the back corner lumped together with the children’s section. The home section was a nice breather from the madness of the rest of the sale.
More on the Barneys Warehouse Sale… this report is from one of our contributors, Laura Baumgartner, who surveyed women’s contemporary garments. Laura found the selection uninspiring. Here’s her report:
Barneys contemporary section looked like it had experienced a hurricane of it’s own. The selection was depleted, full of damaged goods and generally destroyed. Heading over to the sale Thursday night I got in quickly (and didn’t have to check my bag!) but from there on it was downhill. Most of the madness was in the shoe section (not a surprise). I couldn’t help it… but I had to check out the offerings in my size (7.5). Saw a few pairs that I’d even consider walking out with, including a cute pair of Loeffler Randall sandals for $329 and basic Barnyes Co-op flats for $129.
We continue our Barneys Warehouse Sale coverage with a look at women’s designer clothing… I was happy to see that the women’s stuff is back on the main floor – a much better location than the dingy basement level (organizers must have listened to complaints from last winter’s sale).
Now onto the goods… which the first thing I noticed is the depleted selection of women’s designer duds. In previous sales, they’ve had racks and racks of merchandise. Not this year, just a smaller section near the exit. Plus, there wasn’t as many designers on offer. The selection was so limited this time around that the racks have been organized by size instead of label.
The madness began today at the semi-annual Barneys Warehouse Sale in Chelsea. While it’s best to wait until the last week for the best deals, die-hard shoppers were lined up at the crack of dawn. I made it inside around 10am this morning. My intention was to survey the merchandise and to see if there were any gems. Check out the video of the shoes and handbags…
