You'd think that if you go to a glitzy, glamorous location like South Coast Plaza, maybe just maybe inventory will be different than other locations and maybe even better. I'm talking about the selection of products/merchandise for sale at Saks.
This review is NOT about the employees, the staff, the service, the type of people who shop here no. This review is about Corporate... what brands they have decided to carry and which ones to shun. Ultimately, the decision to stock the shelves with certain merchandise comes from a place that is much higher in the food chain than the store itself. However, sometimes location can influence the type(s) of products they sell. Either for good or for bad, they SAY they try to follow the market trends... but they are VERY obviously NOT listening to the market or the customer.
I'm having a real "field day", a tumultuous, shopping experience with Saks. Trying to shop for underwear is a disaster. You can shop for these delicate "underthings" in store or online. I do both.
This is nothing new as well. Years ago I gave up on Saks, Nordstroms, Macys, Bergdorf, etc... ALL of the department stores I gave up on regarding finding underwear.
Here is why.
Hanky Panky - it destroys itself as soon as you put it through the wash
Simone Perele - MAY look sexy on you IF you choose one of the cuts that are of a non-granny design
Calvin Klein - touted as sexxxy and kool, but their quality has gone downhill quite a bit in the last 5 years
Kiki de Montparnesse - is underwear for the Mistresses of the World, certainly not for the Wives. (sad)
Wacoal - is for older ladies or ladies who are being forced to buy "granny underwear" by the salespeople.
Chantelle - is a high quality brand with older lady styling
Stella McCartney - is for women who have an ALMOST (!) model-like body who aren't models.
La Perla - once again for the Mistresses of the World
Hanro - for women who have to "keep it all together" ( which is most of us)
Fleur du Mal - for South of France wannabe's and hipsters
Natori - for mother's with children
Spanx - for ALL OF US
Versace - for "Euro Trash" $145.00 pair !?!
Gilda & Pearl - for wives AND mistresses
On Gossamer - quality semi-sexxxy underwear at semi-affordable prices
Falke - for the classy european
Cosabella - underwear and undergarments for the jettsetting hipsters traveling with daddy's/mommy's money... (also destroys itself quickly in the wash)
All of these notes on the brands that are making underwear and are being carried...by Saks, Norstrom, etc.... this problem of not finding any underwear that actually works... is a problem in ALL department stores. The off - fifth, off this, off that, outlet ....even worse!
WHY can't these stores and brands make super sexy underwear for women who don't want granny underwear... this applies to women from 12 - 75.
What about checking out what YOOX sells for women.... and mostly men. I do not work for or have ANY association with YOOX. They don't pay me.
I write the truth.
The men, on YOOX, have the sexiest best underwear for sale. The brands are Moschino, Dsquared, Dsquared2, Ermenegildo Zegna, etc.... Just about ALL of the Men's underwear are sexy and cool and most of the women's makes you look 100 years old. I just don't understand. :-(((
Somebody, From Saks Management, and other departments stores too... PLEASE READ THIS.... and take this into consideration the next time you place a large order for GRANNY PANTS.
