When the David Jones warehouse first opened, they used to bring in the top flight designer scarves...so I went nuts buying those for about 18 months...the manager was also a scarf nut, so she let me go into the back room reserve & look through the incoming boxes for anything that called out to me.....
Then the good scarves petered out - the manager told me they just weren't selling- people were going there to get bargains but scarf bargains just werent bargain enough.
So I started stalking the designer shoes....at that time they were kept in a separate space to the non designer shoes and they were all the best brands...at silly prices, with weekly red spot extra % off specials.
After about 2 years of the shoes, I discovered the imported lingerie....the brands that fit me best were the Italian brands La Perla (& its little sister Malizia) & Cotton Club - so I stocked up there too. Again, silly prices with
weekly red spot extra % off specials.
I have also bought the odd clothes, hats, bags, swimwear too. But the scarves, lingerie & shoes were the gold mines.
However, alot of friends who into the warehouse say its a mess and they just cant shop in there and its full of junk.
I agree its a mess and there is some junk, but there is alot of gold - you just have to be prepared to look. Shopping in a warehouse is not a sprint - its a marathon.
So today I pulled out some (high end) shoes which I found in alot of sizes & took some snaps.....
