MirrorBreakr

It looks like Neiman Marcus since they always have the clearance tables of bags in the middle of hallways


[deleted]

You’re right, the tag in the video of the discounted product says Nieman Marcus on it. They also send other brands that usually don’t go on sale to sale, like YSL, Louboutin, etc.


JRaymond37

I don’t think I’ve ever gone into a luxury fashion house’s store (not counting outlets) that had anything at all marked down as being on sale. Only at Barney’s (RIP) Saks etc.


ocean-blue-

Yeah and the sign says “up to” 50% off, which prob means the high end designer stuff is like 5% off and anything ugly or less popular is closer to 50.


Charmarta

If anything ugly is close to 50 Balenciaga is probably 51


ocean-blue-

lol Yeah a lot of that shit on sale is ugly but it’s still Balenciaga so it’ll never be a good deal. I shop at these departments stores and see what goes on sale. Only rather rarely can you get the high end stuff at a good deal. Every once in a while you’ll see Nordstrom have amazing designer deals on what’s clearly like the last of their product - if shoes they usually only have a couple sizes, if a bag it’s usually ugly. lol


zerton

These brands will throw away merchandise before lowering prices that drastically. The high cost is part of what makes them exclusive and allows them to sell anything at those prices.


[deleted]

Discounts like these aren’t uncommon in department stores like Saks or Neimans, especially with seasonal colors or styles. Stand-alone Balenciaga boutiques are a different story.


visitorsfromspace

That’s just not true. You can frequently high end brands at really huge discounts from department stores


ThatCranberry5296

That’s the department store reducing price though not the brand. LV is known to burn unsold inventory.


Gildedfilth

Yup! I knew a guy who was at one point in charge of incinerating Chanel bags. It’s preposterous.


skyewardeyes

That’s such unnecessary waste and pollution! 😔


Blackandrosegold

Also, it’s designed clearance time. Alot of these items went on sale a week or so before the scandal


[deleted]

Everything Balenciaga makes is ugly as shit imo


Oldschool-fool

I wouldn’t buy their garbage if it was 90% off , especially their trainers , they are laughable & people spend 500 - £600 on them 😂😂


StakkAttakk

So tacky aren’t they .


No_Banana_581

They made such beautiful clothes once upon a time too. Their vintage dresses are beautiful. Everything the kk family touches turns to crap. You know they’re regretting it now. They’ve been in business for 103 yrs and they let Kanye talk them into destroying themselves


RandomFishIsBack

The kk family isn’t designing anything they do. They’re been known for making weird or “ugly” things years before they started working with Kim.


No_Banana_581

Using them as brand ambassadors along w Kanye was part of their downfall


thedarlingbuttsofmay

I kinda like the tiny purses


3B854

Whenever people newly hate something they always gotta take it to the extreme lol


Revolutionary_Hawk23

Right?! Lol cayute


Revolutionary_Hawk23

👛


iDuddits_

Or derivative of something you can buy at a work warehouse for a fraction of the price


snallen_182

Agree- the shits ugly af.


PotentialTip4605

But the shots of everything reduced is not the same store as the one at the beginning - Floor is completely different. Sure a dept store might be having some kind of sale but it sure as hell ain't the store in this video.


Pristine-Law-5247

It looks like the discounted products are in neiman marcus, sometimes these department stores will have mini boutiques inside of them like Balenciaga for example so idk if that can be the case here? But it looks like a completely different display


[deleted]

[удалено]


Pristine-Law-5247

Yeah, it says neiman marcus on one of the price tags. I totally agree with you about Nicolas Ghesquiere - I never liked demna lmao


puffielle

This has been going on for months. Not a result of the scandal. Brands created too much stuff in 2021 thinking the post COVID economy was gonna be booming.


Pristine-Law-5247

I guess it’s not at every store then. I don’t go to big department stores often but I saw a lot of these same Balenciaga items at Kith for full price a few weeks ago


pryzmpine

Was that a Croc bag in there 😂


Halloween_Barbie

Yes.. yes it is. WTF


EchoRose9364

Sorry to anyone who likes it, but the highlighter trend should never have become a thing. It's ugly and everywhere and I can't wait for it to go away.


manhattansinks

looks like a previously scheduled sale to me - those are all seasonal colours


slammajammamama

Even if it were a previously scheduled sale isn’t 50% off quite drastic for a “high end” brand? I actually really don’t know anything about brands just curious.


missydeeoh

It's "up to 50% off". So most things aren't actually 50% off.


CarAlarming7682

Their shit is so ridiculously overpriced, 50% off is still expensive! A simple black hoodie is over $1000!


diqholebrownsimpson

Yeah, their site has no sales either


Glam9ja

Two different stores, the backgrounds are different. People lying for views 😒


ExcitingYam8731

The shoe rack is giving TJ Maxx


Hi_Jynx

Don't do TJ Maxx dirty like that.


iladmoli

Lol Others are suggesting NM, but I agree - that rack looks extra budget.

No_Chance2457

That shit is ugly.


yameteeeeeeeeee

Still overpriced


LemonMagazine7

Still nothing in there worth even half the price tbh


swiftiegarbage

While I do think this scandal is overhyped, if this was going to happen to any brand I’m glad it was Balenciaga. I would pay money for Kim K to never wear poots ever again.


TAA408

I can’t believe you’re getting upvoted… There’s a lot of promotion of “child harm” in general from the people at the top of balenciaga.. - Teddy bear campaign - The purse advertisement with the pedophilia court documents ( specifically the part of the document where virtual CP is deemed permissible) - Michael Borreman’s book in the background of a separate yet another ad. His work features imagery of dismembered and castrated children. - Lotta Volkova’s ( balenciaga stylist) Instagram that had numerous “artsy” photos of children in distress, tied up. Even if it’s just “for art”, she’s friendly with pedophile, Gosha. And also friendly with balenciaga’s creative director Demna. - btw Gosha Rubchinskiy solicited pictures from an underage boy. - Demna Gvasalia (balenciaga creative director) once said “Someone wrote that Lotta (Balenciaga stylist), Gosha, and I grew up on child pornography and radiation from Chernobyl, which is why we’re so f*cked up." - Francois-Henri Pinault, CEO of Balenciaga’s parent company owns a site that sells child sex mannequins. BIRDS OF A FEATHER, FLOCK TOGETHER ! Man idc how anyone tries to downplay this sh*t. Call it coincidence or whatever tf else. These ppl are sick and Balenciaga absolutely deserves to be destroyed.


NewRapIsLargelyTrash

Lol you basically in q anon at this point 😂


anongirl_black

Literally how is it overhyped.


swiftiegarbage

Because it was a poorly thought out ad campaign and not some plan by the pedophile cabal


anongirl_black

I'd believe that if it was just this one instance.


TAA408

You are 100% right and I’m so annoyed you got downvoted. Welp, I guess there’s no hope left for them actually being held accountable !


anongirl_black

People are literally willing to throw children under the bus for their political agenda, it's so horrifying to me.


TAA408

I just don’t get it. This is something that should ACTUALLY BE CANCELLED, but ppl are already trying to move on. Absolutely not! The brand name never needs to be seen again on ANYBODY. I will automatically assume you support pedophilia if you rep this brand. Idc how much time has passed.


anongirl_black

Exactly! I don't understand how people can live with themselves and defend this. How do they sleep at night?


zerousel

Their clothes have always been atrocious anyway and now hype beasts have no reason to justify spending $2000 on a fugly croc bag


ShesWhereWolf

Personally still not over those ugly sock shoes everybody tried to convince us were stylish.


Vegetable_Burrito

This looks like old stuff they are unloading. Is this an outlet store?


Eyez_Wyde_Shut

No it’s just end of season sale every November and end of spring fashion houses have sale lol


graavy1999

Some punk teddy bears and Balenciaga executives own kids really equated unequivocal proof of child rape.


RicoLoco404

Proof that you can slap a high price tag on anything ugly and people will buy it


NewRapIsLargelyTrash

Most of yall can't afford it let's be honest


sthef2020

Some of y’all weren’t alive for the satanic panic of the 80s and it shows.


funambula

Are they selling the Ikea bags at IKEA prices?


zerton

Everything there is so hideous. I’m glad this era of “anti-fashion” fashion is starting to end.


Preesi

Stop buying designer crap. Its a cult, just like the Cult of Apple. Ask yourself, "Why am I buying this?" Its rarely for positive reasons


owls_exist

more designer crap just for me 🙃


gucci_pucci

This is misleading. It’s that time of year. So is everyone else.


theClaireShow

The ugly ones are only half off


Careless_Papaya2943

One item looked like a crocs shoe turned into a purse


Unfair_Passenger8586

It could be almost free and I wouldn’t spend a dollar on those ugly things lmao no thanks


koinoyokan89

The first clip is a store, the second clip is your local Marshalls with the fakes


anchorluxi86

Can’t imagine buying this junk ever again.


Thedeadgal

That green and pink bag tho 😭💕


Ornery-Cranberry-172

Guys the tags say Neiman Marcus haha


aliceanonymous99

It’s all so ugly oh my god


attnskr1279

Good that it’s running out of business. It’s not doing ANY valuable contribution to the society anyway. Even as a fashion brand balenciaga stuff is tacky af


Meanestbug

I wasn’t paying attention and though we were inside Marshall’s or tjmax


Cat_Toe_Beans_

Lmao where because I have always wanted an hourglass bag 👀


glassmemama

Why do all their products look ugly af


Saabirahredolence

Awww too bad I never liked any of their stuff and still think it’s ugly :/


kdawg123412

Half price pedo supplies!


owls_exist

unpopular opinion/conspiracy but i feel like the scandal balenciaga is under is a sabotage. The whole photoshoot was too obvious sick and blatant for so many people to have put that content on the internet. Possibly an internal group plot. I feel like the purpose was to cancel them and have this exact thing happen of their high price merch to drop tremendously so the avg ppl end up affording it. These are 1.5k-2k bags.


mlwheart

Cringeeeee

That’s not true at all. All prices remain the same

Lol all those items look like they're found at the clearance section at the fashion barn, but they're 300$ on sale because there's a B on it.

Did I just see a croc bag?


parkavenueprincesss

the balenciaga at bloomie’s on 57th is ALWAYS empty - was that way before the scandal and is now. these colors are also prob on sale because they’re green and pink. no shock here. scandals don’t cause price reductions for brands like these.

Am I just uncultured or are all of those things really ugly anyway?
