I'm not sure what Hickey's pricing strategy is, but they seem to price their merch on the high side and than have huge reductions. Even on their own web site, the suits are cut down by 50 or 60 percent.
I thought I got a great deal on a Hickey shirt at Bloomies and then saw it reduced even more on Overstock. On Overstock!
I think this strategy devaules the brand and alienates real fashion consumers. They haven't established themselves enough to be a Joseph Aboud or CK, the kind of cheap stuff you find at Dept. Stores.
Incidentally, there is a new Hickey Freeman opening on 5th Ave. Most people I know like their stuff, but the jury is still out on Hickey.
Um, about that Hickey on Grand? The city's only one? Yeah, it's toast. [Racked]
Nuts, I liked their stuff, but way too expensive other than on sale.
ReplyDeleteWill their inventory show up at Century21? It has in the past.
WAY overpriced. Reasonable when at least 60% off. They would have to be 75% off to be competitive with other bargains out there
ReplyDeleteIt can normally be found at Century 21. Will be at least 80% off next week, but expect true sample sale sizes, i.e., medium and small
