Sad face: Dernier Cri, arguably the best store on Washington Street, is closing. No, this isn’t like when they closed for a month this summer to clean shop after Scoop flooded, but an actual closing, as in, somebody else bought the place for “an offer [Dernier Cri] couldn’t refuse”.

Sheepish face: So they’re having a going-out-of-business sale. Everything is 50% off through November 25th, like even right now.

In case you need a reminder, Dernier Cri carries Vivienne Westwood Anglomania, Isabel Marant, Preen and so much more - and we’re sure you’ve been scheming how to afford a huge building of a Vivienne coat. We know we have.

On a side note, this couldn’t possibly have anything to do with the rumored new Barneys near the corner of 13th and Washington, exactly where Dernier Cri is currently located, could it?
