Rumors of Department Store Chanel shakedown

My neimans associate told me their commissions will get cut in July. There is soooo much inventory in store and she said sales are very slow
This is what I see at Neimans and Saks and most Chanel stores in general their sales are down since these price increases. It was reported that they are down 5% in revenue, and expect luxury spending to be dropping in 2024 for a few years.

The price increase to compete with Hermes was the worst move for Chanel they have so much backed up inventory.
 
Neiman Topanga is losing shoes as well. My SA for a good number of years texted me and she said she can't even order for me even though Neiman Beverly Hills still carries Chanel shoes.
Well this may answer the question I had the other day. I always look at Chanel shoes in Nordstrom Bellevue Square (outside Seattle). I have bought several pair of Chanel shoes there over the years and now I could not see them. A new Chanel boutique opened in the mall but honestly it looks like just makeup from the outside, maybe they are ordering for customers now but what a disappointment.
 
Oh sorry to hear that! I have an amazing SA there so I definitely am sad about it.

Good to hear other dept stores have no plans to close though.
I’m glad to hear you had a good experience. The freestanding store in Tyson’s is expanding to include RTW. I’m excited for it. I believe Chanel owns and manages the Neiman’s location, only leases the space. Maybe that explains the closing?
 
没有关门——香奈儿仍然在那里。我上个月(2024 年 1 月)从他们那里远程购买了两件小皮具:微笑:
hiii, do you know that Chanel at Portland is a leased store or not? I bought something there and created a profile, but standard Chanel boutique said they didn't see my profile🥲. thanks

Hi! It is not a leased store. The employees at the Chanel are Chanel employees which was also confirmed by the SA I worked with there. :)

However I believe the shoes are not part of chanel and are part of Nordstrom inventory.
 
i'm not too sure...i believe nordstrom chanel can see my profile and how many bags I purchased. So i think they can see purchase history. I would assume that the profiles are connected to the boutique. Have you called the store to confirm?
The store said they are linked, but the SA from neiman Marcus and saks and standard boutique said they didn't see my profile at nordstrom. It's confusing🤣

I know this post is older, but Nordstrom Bellevue stopped selling Chanel shoes. They are only sold at the Seattle location now :(

For another data point, my local standalone boutique was able to see my Nordstrom Portland Chanel purchase 😅
I was confused because I never got a Chanel receipt from them, just the Nordstrom one.
