After last year’s wildly popular sale, Tamara Mellon is back for round two, but I regret to say that I’m disappointed with the price increase. Last year, I bought a beautiful TM Pleasure Patchwork Watersnake bag (Org. $1,295) for $100 and now all shoulder and tote bags are $200. Speed Date bags (Org. $1.895 -$1,295) are going for $400. Clutches nearly doubled in price, increasing from $50 to $125. The price of shoes also saw an increase. At last year’s sale, pumps were $50 are now $100, booties and boots were $55 and $75 are now respectively $100 and $150. Ready to wear is still moderately priced.
Despite Tarama Mellon’s initial sample sale being so popular last year, I can’t help but wonder if the mass migration of Tamara Mellon merchandise that ended up on eBay last year could have prompted the corporate team to jack up the prices.
The sale may still be worth a shot if you are a die-hard Tamara Mellon fan, and don’t mind the price increase; just remember that today is the last day.
