Gone are the days of the great sales. We are going to need a major downturn in the GLOBAL economy like in '08 to score great H, jewelry, furniture, homes, cars...etc. With global growth in Asia expanding and driving the rest of the world, the NY sale will continue to be lackluster. You already see it in the inventory...the newer bags come later and later, and when they do come, the volume is SIGNIFICANTLY less. All the inventory is going to the new boutiques overseas, where they are selling like hotcakes. Don't get me wrong, we still get some goodies, but just not in the same quantity as before and as it seems, not as quickly.
sadly that is so true now...
