Hayden Hartnett & Cole Haan in NYC + Gerard Darel

I feel wonderful imparting the gift of discounted bags. I just took a little trip to Century 21 in downtown Manhattan, and if anyone is in the market for a Hayden Hartnett Mercer, it's $150 there (as opposed to the 300ish Sale area on their website) and I think it's the Inka (or the Havanna) for $185. Plus, various styles of Cole Haan bags, all lovely, all discounted to the $100-180 range.

And if any of you are looking for a Gerard Darel, I spotted this one on ebay about 10 minutes ago, and I can't remember who, but someone was looking for the mouse grey 24h. It's on ebay for the lovely BIN price of $297. I really want it, but I shouldn't, so it would give me joy to know I brought one of you lovely bagaholics joy.

Gregory's Shoes had that color yesterday. Not anymore, just the light brown. Sorry!! Don't be sad, another GD will walk by you and it'll be destiny!

 

Well, when you visit NY from New Haven, hit up the Century 21! Though, I'm personally curious to go to the Century 21 in Brooklyn, since I know for a fact they sell Botkiers (and I Botkier like nobody's business).

They also had Koobas in the one downtown, though they weren't as reduced as I've seen other retailers having them on sale.

 

Toronto is not that far! The summer, however, is kind of a crazy time to go. A lot of tourists make Century 21 there must-go, so it gets ridiculously crowded. I always thought the store was a little NY secret, until I saw it in an Italian tourism handbook. Word of warning: discounted Cavalli dresses bring out the worst in people, though!

 

Hahaha! I thought it was a fantastic deal which is why I had to share! Forum lurkers! I think it's actually kind of hard to make a first post into a forum where everyone is already acquainted. I know I was a little scared the first time!

Out of curiousity, which GD are you looking for? I've been trying to track down the Havana with pockets (I need my pockets! ) in Kaki...that bag, the leather, oh god, when I find, it'll be a party on my arm!

 

I mean, I don't know if they are currently, I was planning on going there possibly Saturday to check. A month ago, I saw a Botkier on ebay and the woman had a picture of the receipt, she blackened out the name of the store and the price, but not the address! Of course I know the address of the C21 in Brooklyn!

They sell Koobas in the one in downtown Manhattan. Yea, but it's not really Battery Park, it's right across the street from Ground Zero, so take the E to the last stop WTC-Chambers, it's right there. And yes, I mean Havana, I added an extra n, I'm pretty sure it was the Havana, I was close to getting it, but I really want a Botkier Bianca!
