tight market

I checked out the purse sale that was mentioned on Good Day New York. It was made up of a number of different dealers each with there own both; some were selling samples some vintage many were doing both.

Channel clutches stared at 400$, and purses started at 1,200$ Fendi bags started around 500$, and most items we’re approximately 50% -60% off. While these aren’t bad prices the retail market is quite aggressive and these prices aren’t competitive with in store prices. There isn’t a compelling reason to go to sample sale to get a Fendi purse for 500$, when you can order it for the same price from Barney’s 60 % off sale barneys.com

There are 100$ and 200$ ‘bargain’ bins for vintage items with more wear on them. This sale may be worth checking out if you are looking to buy a channel purse and you are disappointed by the limited selection of most department stores. However if your not already looking but these small discounts don’t give you a reason to buy.
