Barneys New York Warehouse Sale Los Angeles August 7-17, 2008
The Barneys Warehouse Sale in Los Angeles begins on Thursday, August 7 and will run through Sunday, August 17 and will be held at its regular digs at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica. I just got my postcard in the mail yesterday and did a crappy job of taking a photo of it (I couldn’t use my scanner).
Some naysayers may say “Why go to the warehouse sale when you can go to Barneys and find the same stuff at the same prices, have real dressing rooms and attentive staff”? This is true to a point. If you check out the sales page at Barneys.com, those are the items and prices that you’ll find at the sale. But, since the warehouse sale stock is consolidated from all Barneys New York and Barneys Coop stores and brought to Los Angeles and New York for the warehouse sale, there will be more sizes and selection to choose from. And as the warehouse sale progresses, the discounts get better.
At the last sale, I got this black Giorgio Armani jacket for $125. It was part of suit that originally retailed for $2895. It was marked down to $1159, then $500 because the matching trousers were missing. The jacket was an “as is” blue tagged item that was marked an additional 75% off. There was nothing wrong with the jacket. Only the pants were missing. And it fits me perfectly! I also got Louboutins and Lanvin ballet flats at 80% off or roughly $100+ each. There were also tons of gorgeous Lanvin dresses at 90% off. Of course, I got these towards the end of the sale so most likely, I won’t be going until the last three days of the sale. Who’s going?
Details on the sale in Los Angeles after the jump. New York dates are from August 14-September 1.
