We also have new things from boutiques, like when they have overstock.” The store marks down all items to one third the original retail price??and customers often get lucky with finds such as 75-dollar Manolo Blahniks or discounted Lilly Pulitzer dresses, sparkly Nicole Miller gowns, and plush Burberry coats.
