Luxury-Goods get the mark down!


Today, The Wall Street Journal announced that "luxury-goods makers are cutting prices on designer apparel, shoes and handbags in the U.S. market." Prices where slashed 8% -10% at companies like Chanel, Christian Louboutin, Chloe and Versace.

Yay! Especially, when everything was rising so high when it came to luxury goods.

Speaking of luxury goods getting marked down, I went to the Marc Jacobs Collection store on Maiden Lane to get this ring from F/W 2008 runway. They weren't sure if it was even produced. So, I've been calling all the stores frantically looking for it. Also, I kept on getting emails from the Melrose store and Bal Harbour store telling that they were going to have their first sale on the whole collection for 40% off (except handbags of course).


Turns out that even though there was a piece on their runway, it doesn't mean it was actually produced. But, they might normally have it in their showroom. So, if you can get with one of their reps in their store, normally they can go ahead and get the one-of-a-kind piece from the showroom that was the exact piece from the runway. So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

crazy!
would it be marked down as well?
or since it's "technically" one of a kind, would it be the regular price?

yikes!
