Bis Designer Resale: Authentic preowned & new Hermes, Chanel, Gucci, Prada & more

Per NY Mag: Chanel to raise prices on handbags!

BIS — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 20:56:49 +0000

On February 1, Chanel will jack up handbag prices by $50 to $100 on classic styles, according to salespeople in the Soho boutique. But someone in the Madison Avenue store said the classic jumbo caviar leather bag will go up to $2,995 from $2,650. Chanel can get away with it because stores that carry the bag have a waiting list for it (one Chanel boutique’s is about 30 people long while Saks’s is a few hundred people long).

At Bis, you can find Chanel handbags of various sizes, shapes, and styles anywhere from $595 to $1995.

BIS — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 18:34:44 +0000

From the most recent edition of the Zagat 2010 Shopping Guide (p. 62):

Though not as well-known as other UES second-story consignment shops, this green-walled specimen has its fans who salute its “good service” and “sensational high-end items” – think Chanel, Fendi, etc. – “at great prices” for the neighborhood (“I practically stole a $2600 Hermes jacket for $300″)…

Watch Out For Christian Cota

BIS — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 19:46:43 +0000

Not that you’d really want to listen to us, it’s not as if we have been privy to being on the cutting edge of fashion before every single trend goes mainstream (chunky necklaces, feathers, purple, hand-painted fabrics, and more), but we’re seeing some glorious stuff from a designer named Christian Cota. Style.com named him a top 10 designer to watch for Spring and it’s not hard to see why.

The Transformative Power Of A Beautiful Suit

BIS — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 05:40:05 +0000

The Wall Street Journal recently had a cute writeup on the changing course of one woman’s lifestyle, after her purchase of a St. John suit. You can read the full article here.

Maître d’s are expert decoders of social rank. When I dine with CEOs at Michael’s in New York or Spago in L.A., we score the best tables. On my own, I wind up seated near the kitchen doors.

Unless I wear my St. John suit.
