Bargain Basement Browns

browns look for less.jpgTheOutNet has some new competition.

Browns, the British department store that is kind of like a physical incarnation of Net-a-Porter, just launched a new website called “Labels For Less.” The site offers last season’s merchandise (the good stuff) from both Browns and Browns Focus at pretty severe discounts - up to 70% off.

Wheeling & Dealing

rag and bones green spring romper.jpgThis morning’s inbox is flooded with sale announcements.

While no one’s hit 75% off quite yet, except for Selfridges which sadly we can’t make, spring prices are being slashed left and right.

Saks just announced 25% off all women’s denim (on top of their already 40% off sale), for two days you can take an extra 20% off sale at Shopbop and Barneys added inventory to their sale while knocking everything down another 25%, too.

J.Crew’s having a ‘secret’ sale - enter SECRET at checkout for 20% purchases over $175 and Net-a-Porter’s sale section’s already disappeared which means we expect it to be further discounted on the Outnet sooner than later.

And, someone emailed yesterday to ask why in the world Intermix is selling spring Rag & Bone for full price when it’s 50% off on Bergdorf’s 5th floor - we don’t know why, but we do think you’d like to know that if you have your heart set on that perfect romper at left you should probably head to 5th instead of Madison Avenue.

Happy shopping!

The OutNet Launches!

the outnet launches.jpgNatalie Massenet’s much-anticipated The Outnet finally launched this morning.

The site’s as easy to navigate, though not quite as pretty, as Net-a-Porter and stocks about 200 brands right now. You can search by designer, by category and by percentage off or click on Dress Me where they’ve sorted product by occasion. Also, they’re doing seventy-two hour pop-up sales on rotating items.

There’s a note on the site that Marc Jacobs will be in next week and we’ve spotted some amazing finds like this Derek Lam grecian dress, this cream Zac Posen bag and this awesome Mulberry jacket.

But remember that part about how it wasn’t going to be all recycled Net-a-Porter product? True, we probably spend an inordinate amount of time on the mother site but we’ve seen all of this before, this Chloe dress, these Marc shoes and this 3.1 Phillip Lim shift - all at the exact same prices - except for these sequined Miu Miu’s which are $100 less at Barneys right now.

There’s a gem of a Burberry trench, some beautiful pieces from Nina Ricci and we spy the Louboutin zipper heels. It’ll be swell to have a Net-a-Porter sale year round, but let us know when there’s something we haven’t seen.

The OutNet: Outlook Amazing

proenza shoes so popular.jpgWhen we first heard about Net-a-Porter’s soon-to-be discount sister, The OutNet, we thought, “Cool. Plus, all those old items on Net-a-Porter will finally get cleared off the site and hauled off someplace so they stop clogging up our searches.”

But it gets even better: Natalie Massenet, the site’s founder, just explained exactly how the site will work. The clothes on the new site won’t be all the old stuff she couldn’t clear, it’ll be all the new stuff ordered by department stores that never make it to their shelves because they’ve over-ordered (and because people are buying a lot less at department stores these days.) So, picture all of the newest clothes from the season’s runways, but up to 80% off.

Yes.

The only bad news? The site now launches in April, not February, as originally planned. So you’ll have to stock up your Fashion Week wardrobe someplace else.

Net-a-Porter is Like Fine Wine…

theoutnetdotcom.jpgFact: We love Net-a-Porter.

Fact: Even more, we love a good sale.

Fact: Net-a-Porter consistently comes up with great ideas for their beloved shoppers, and here’s another one:

This February, Natalie Massenet, the site’s founder, will introduce everyone to TheOutNet.com, which will exist as an outlet for Net-a-Porter.

Translation? All those old items you see on Net-a-Porter every week that still, for whatever reason, never go below 30% off, will be moved to TheOutNet for a less public price slashing. So basically, it’ll be like the Barneys warehouse sale, except everyday, and probably a lot better.

But Miss Massenet, could we please get this site before Fashion Week?
