When Barneys sets up shop in Podunk, they usually stock the store with the blandest and cheapest items. They've got to keep it at a certain price point and at a lower-taste level since most people in Scottsdale could never decipher the difference between Target and Gucci, for instance. And the good high-end items you would find at the real Barneys in New York are too fashion froward for Scottsdale so the store will be basically stocked with low-end crap.
Wow. You are surely throwing out alot of harassing remarks today, and they're actually quite ignorant. Scottsdale is far from podunk, but I wouldn't ask the many $30,000 millionaire NY'ers who visit there frequently. They're the ones who shop the upscale stores once a year.

OK, got it. You haven't experienced it yet you feel compelled to post.. Good job.

No no no. Rich New Yorkers shop in the fashion capital of the world - their home town. And if not New York, then the other capitals - Paris, Milan, London.

Why would a wealthy New Yorker even step foot into a clothing store in Scottsdale? You might as well dig through a trash can in Queens.

Right. I got to know rich Europeans who fly to shop in New York (they said it is cheap compared to Paris or Milan) yet rich New Yorkers have to come to Scottsdale. Is this because so many great designers are living and producing there?

Not too proficient with the HTML either, eh? Well I neither desire Sanskrit (that's how its actually spelled in what we call "English" ), nor do I require any "helpo." But thanks for mentioning that, I guess?

Seriously, try some ESL classes. With someone who's as into such a glamorous lifestyle as you claim to be, you should easily be able to afford them.

I wasn't speaking of the 'real' affluent New Yorkers. They're the ones less pretentious. People with money do not have to flaunt it. The others, well...

Thanks bud, maybe I just hire you to correct my errors? You seem to have plenty of free time on your hands.

Well thanks for such a helpful contribution, but I was actually attempting to steer the conversation back to something less chaotic. Thank you for once again lowering the level back to mudslinging. You're such an asset to this forum lol.

But to anyone else who actually can respond to what I had previously posted, I would like to know peoples' non-biased opinions. Obviously I was leaving YOU out of this since you've already shown how limited your views are.

I never realized trash cans in Queens had brand new Barneys clothes sold from them! Queens trash cans, here I come!
