The Barneys Warehouse Sale is undeniably one of the biggest sales in New York City. It’s always mobbed, especially on the first day. This season was no different as Racked reported this morning while line blogging with the early birds standing in line an hour before the doors opened. I showed up before 10am to find no line. However, the scene inside was madness. No surprise that the women’s shoe section was crowded.
Women shoes can be found in the same place as usual right when you walk in. This time, sale organizers are offering an additional 25 percent off items with the “BLUE” stamp. I spotted a few shoes with the blue stamp, including a Marc Jacobs pump that was already on sale for under $150. I was told that those items are from previous seasons which is why there’s an extra discount. As for the selection in footwear, as usual plenty of designer sandals and heels with a smattering of boots. I spotted a pair of Balenciaga super high heeled gladiators for $500 (my friend picked up the same pair during last winter’s sale for $150). I also saw a few Lanvin pumps from two seasons ago going for $400. There’s a few Loub flat sandals, wedges and heels, Lanvin cut-out slingbacks, Prada wedges, sandals and heels, Chloe, Costume National, Pierre Hardy, Rochas, Robert Clergerie, Stella McCartney, and more. There’s a lot of product and you have to spend the time to really look.
