Last week we gave you an intimate insight into the inner workings behind the private sales site that is Rue La La. While we toured the premises, the team of 300 strong was diligently preparing for the big Hermes Sales event that launches tomorrow, November 16th at 11am EST sharp.
I already uncovered some of the pieces that will be available tomorrow in the Hermes forum on TPF a few days back, now it’s time to see a few of the treasures up close before they go on sale tomorrow.
This is an extremely long title, I know! But the title is as descriptive as possible, telling you exactly what BlueFly has going on. Today there is a 4 hour sale on BlueFly. PurseBlog and PurseForum readers are being given 30 minutes exclusive access before everyone else! The sale’s focus is on designer handbags where you will be able to nab them for 50% off retail (sometimes more). So don’t walk, cyber run over to the sale and grab great deals before the rest of the internet world has access!
TGIF! ShopBop has decided to make our Friday extra special by offering their friends and family 20% off for the next 4 days! All you have to do is visit ShopBop and shop their merchandise. Then enter INTHEFAMILY20 at checkout. ShopBop is making it very easy to get very big savings!
Usually our coverage of bags priced under a thousand dollars is centered over at PurseBlog Savvy, but sometimes a bag from a “contemporary” designer so far exceeds expectations that it more than earns a spot among the much more expensive bags at regular PurseBlog. The Marc by Marc Jacobs Save the Birds Lenny Day Bag is one such high-achiever.
I’ve owned a not-insignificant number of Marc by Marc Jacobs bags over the past few years and observed a great many of the company’s other bags in person, and this design may top all of them. MbMJ tends to skew young and a bit retro, but this bag has a modern, sleek quality that not only sets it appart from the line’s other offerings, but also makes it potentially appealing to a very wide customer base.
After a successful first round in July, the good folks at RueLaLa are staging another irresistible Madison Avenue Couture event. The big sale launches tomorrow, September 9th and the selection of designer bags, shoes and accessories include brands like Gucci, Prada, Armani, Chanel, Louis Vuitton and many more. We can expect a vast variety of styles, with prices ranging from $200 to $2,000.
This is not one to miss. Grab an invite and make sure to hit the event early, as desired pieces vanish off the virtual racks in minutes.
While this sale is titled the end of summer sale, let’s just call it what it is: the last sale of Bird Handbags… EVER. At least under that name. We introduced you to Bird Handbags at the end of 2007. The easy, laid back designs have a distinct upscale vibe to them; the line’s look is very haute hippy. The smaller designer line was gathering some eyes online.
But a problem arose when Juicy Couture named their new line Bird. After Liz Carey, designer of Bird Handbags, reached out to Juicy Couture informally about the issue, Carey realized she would need to sue the company. And then ensued a fight that seemed like a sure-win for Carey, but it was not.
Carey told Fashionista.com in an interview on this subject, “I want people to support young designers. I trademarked my company and did everything I was supposed to do. It’s a good lesson for people who want to start a brand, to know this and know that it’s out there. A big conglomerate shouldn’t be allowed to do this.”
With expenses getting out of hand, Carey decided to stop her fight and rename her company. Bird Handbags will no longer be Bird Handbags, rather Liz Carey Bags.
In order to sell out the last of the official Bird Handbags stock, Liz Carey is offering her notably hippie chic bags at significantly marked down prices. We have the sale info for all of you as Liz wanted to share this with PurseBlog readers! Support a great lady and her beautiful bags at marked down prices!
