barney's "private" sale...

[minimal]

for those that like barney's, their so-called "private" sale starts Thursday, November 18th, ends November 24th.

the card i received says it's at all their stores. it says 30%-50% off selected merch., shoes, & home stuff. and an additional 10% if you open a charge...

It's only for Barney's outlet - not the main store.

It's only for Barney's outlet - not the main store.

Sorry to contradict, but I believe you are wrong about that.

This postcard lists a bunch (all?) of their main store locations.

I add that I have nothing to do with Barneys, except that I've had both absolutely-great and definitely-not-great shopping experiences there.

 

[Lomezz]

well, the postcard that I received definitely said "Barney's outlet" for the same dates - Nov. 18.

Maybe it's a location thing? i.e., includes main stores except the NY store?

 

[discostu004]

it's definitely for the main store, i already called them today about availability and they said they had nothing i wanted

 

[Mark Seitelman]

It's confirmed.

The sale started today at the main store, the Mecca of menswear.

I checked it out too today. They had a great assortment on the floor. Has anyone here seen the small Berluti shop in the shoe department; they carry almost the entire line. The prices are a bit tough to swallow at $1100 a pair.

I'll check out the main store on Monday or Tuesday and report back...

I was not impressed by the sale selection - although there are several Mareno Martini shirts on sale. Only a small selection of other stuff marked down. I'll try back later in the season....

I agree that the shirt selection was pretty unexciting . . .however, the tie sale had some very attractive pieces. I picked up a seven fold Isaia for $67, a very nice Nicky and a Bizzocchi for around the same price. Some Brioni's for $77 with incredibly soft silk--I just didn't care for the patterns.

C&J bench grade on sale for $297, but I didn't see any handgrade stuff on the rack.

 

[Lomezz]

I saw the strangest C&J: dress boot (never seen the model before,  not in catalog) made from combination calf/suede. Seemed to be made to  handgrade standard (chanelled sole) with a price to match (if I remember correctly, about $695 pre-sale). COuldn't figure the model/last number.

Any other info on the Barney's sale? I will be stopping in New York for a few days, but I'm working on a tight schedule and want to try to figure out where my free time would be best spent. Right now, my only definite destination is MoMA.
