Hi all. My understanding is the "new" Nordstrom store at Topanga Canyon (Valley NW of LA) will carry Chanel. I believe the store opens on Friday of this week. Look forward to any IRL reports...
 
The store is now open. Yes, they carry Chanel & Gucci.
Here's a press release on what the new store has to offer.

Our customers have responded exceptionally well to the best product the market has to offer," said Pete Nordstrom, president of merchandising.

We are eager to unveil our strongest comprehensive collection of designer merchandise across women's, footwear and accessories at Nordstrom Topanga."


Among the designer departments on the store's second floor is a redesigned and expanded 'via C' department which includes some of the most cutting edge names in fashion including Doo.ri, Dsquared2, Jovovich-Hawk, McQ, Phillip Lim, Prada Denim and more.

Nordstrom Topanga will feature five shoe departments including designer shoe collections from Chanel, Christian Dior, Christian Louboutin, Gucci, Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik, Prada and Dolce & Gabbana.

Nordstrom Topanga will feature the company's signature open, central escalator area from which the departments on each floor are visible.

yeah... now we need one to sell chanel and gucci in my area- WASHINGTON DC.. So far the west coast store.. what about the east coast !!
lol- maybe I ough to write to Nordstroms about that..- Think they'd listen..
 
That will be a nice addition. Even though we have Neimans and the Chanel store here in Orange County it would be nice to have another option. It would be great if Nordstroms at SCP carried Chanel (maybe too much competition from the boutique).;)
 
yes, i was there last night. the new nordys in topanga is just fab! no need to drive to beverly hills anymore. i work in warner center so my lunch shopping will never be the same again. i'll need two hours now. :yahoo:
