The Barney's Warehouse Sale: A Play in One Act

Feb 22, 2008 @ 10:06pm

[The L Train going east to Brooklyn. BRITT and FARAN sit side-by-side.]

BRITT: So how was the Warehouse sale?

FARAN: Actually, it was pretty good. There was a lot less Marc by Marc, so the new collection must fit better than past seasons, and there were a handful of Christopher Kane dresses, like the old velvet ones.

BRITT: Seriously?

FARAN: It was amazing; they were so heavy, but gorgeous. But even on sale, they were almost $2000. Ooh, but I got a Proenza dress for $350.

BRITT: WHAT? Which one?

FARAN: This one. And then I got two pairs of Sigerson Morrison ballet flats for $50 each.

BRITT: I love how J. Crew clothes now cost more than stuff at Barneys Warehouse.

FARAN: It's fun. So how was your day?

BRITT: Well, I saw Patricia Field shopping with a private client. Some woman from Texas. I didn't know she made private appointments! How much do you think that costs?

FARAN: More than the clothes.

BRITT: And isn't she supposed to be working on Cashmere Jungle?

FARAN: Cashmere Jungle? What is that, a diffusion line by Alexander Wang?!

Proenza Dress, $350

Sigerson Flats, $50 each

Miu Miu Skirt, too much!

I love the Miu Miu Skirt! and great deal on the Proenza Dress!

the skirt! the flats! hopefully there will be some things left in my size when i go there on the last 2 days... as a perpetually broke high school student, even seriously discounted proenza is expensive.

Oh, that dress is fabulous.

Anything remotely aubergine is simply magnetic.

I got a black silk Rochas dress from their last collection for $670. Couldn't believe they still had it; it must have been hiding somewhere in the Barneys vaults, overlooked.

Also grabbed a Margiela top for $270 and a David Szeto pencil skirt for $110. This was last week; they just did second markdowns, so I'll definitely be going back.

I scored Balenciaga riding boots for $250 and a Lanvin skirt for $150 at the end of the LA sale last weekend. Love!

I wish Barneys had a warehouse sale in Dallas...love the Miu Miu skirt.

Feb 25, 2008 2:34PM

I also can't believe the price of the flats. that Miu Miu skirt is so gorgeous that however much it was it must have been worth it.

I actually was unimpressed with what I found at the Warehouse sale... Personally, I would rather go to Neiman Marcus last call or Saks off Fifth and find better deals as well as be able to try on clothes in a dressing room, instead of an aisle. It reminded me of attempting to shop in my closet.
