We read about, denied the concept in our minds and now it has arrived. Costco has a limited assortment of Chanel and Louis Vuitton bags with the latter selling out its first day on the floor. The Chanel accessories usually go for $2,495.00 at the high end and is at a discounted price of $1,999.99. The Vuitton bags were going for $589.00 each and disappeared quickly. Back in the day, couture level design houses would never overtly sell their designs at a discounter and this really is a sign of the times. Stylist.com had the full story today with a link in by curbed.com. Read our past post on the new East Harlem mall that is anchored by Costco: LINK. Photo: Daniel Acker, Bloomberg via Getty Images
