very mixed prices...i'd say $100-$300 range...but that's a very rough estimate...definitely worth checking out...very different and unique pieces...also have a select number of shoes and swimwear in summer...

if you go to jeffrey's alexander mcqueen is on the same block along with a few other stores... keep your eyes open over there in the meatpacking district...
cdg is in the middle of a bunch of galleries...the only other store over there is balenciaga..(yawn)...but the store is worth checkig out if you haven't been yet...gorgeous silver space age wonderwall...

Bagutta (50% off) is now next to the Helmut Lang store (green, spring/broom)

Jeffrey is 30-40% off, depending on how well they do before the sales start.

[snapback]410562[/snapback]

cheap jacks on bdwy/14 street at union square is another good big one...
also screaming mimi's on lafayette just above bleecker...
you're very welcome whrlwnd
please let us know how it went wneh you get back...
***you should also check out pearl river mart...chinese dept store on lower bdwy...somewhere around grand st... great cheap asian products....slippers, bags, clothing, housewares, paper products, foodstuffs, etc...loads of fun to browse and check out all the stuff...
Originally posted by Fade to Black@Oct 29 2004, 03:37 PM Thanks for the info everyone, you've all been very helpful!
I'll definitely look into What Comes Around Goes Around.
I also read somewhere that "Cheap Jack's" is NOT cheap :lol can someone who's been there verify?
[snapback]410603[/snapback]
vintage in ny is not cheap in general my dear...that's why i rarely bother...
what goes around comes around is the most expensive...it's real vintage from the 20's...etc...more like costume than clothing...cheap jack's is about average...
and the selection is great...alice underground ...on lower bdwy just up the street from pearl river is another good bet...
also check out st mark's place (another name for e.8 street)...vintage/sex shop-search and destroy...trash and vaudeville-punk paraphenalia...plus various t-shirt/accessory stores...

I guess I might just thrown in INA, a designer consignment store. The men's store is in Nolita (I don't remember if it's on Mott or Mulberry, just below Houston).

How is the men's store? I know the womens store gets some good stuff, but I've never heard anything about the men's selection.
