Mostly good all around....

by rgma

Always a good experience save for the shoe dept. where if they think you're taking too much time TO think about your possible purchase, they get bored and want to move on. With that, Shelby at the Goyard store is always friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, more so than the staff at the Paris store. Alex at Bobbi Brown is Mr. Personality Plus and always aims to please. And the Fredric Malle store is also very good - they'll let you take your time without being too pushy. Hope this helps.

• Pros: the jeans dept.
• Cons: crabby salesmen in the shoe dept.

Bring your wallet

by awiernik

Barney's has a wide ranging selection of high end fashion options.

I recently picked up two pairs of jeans there and my choices (while not cheap) were not of a limited variety.

Just be prepared to spend some money!

Great place for Lunch! Fred's is a timeless classic.

by socialmedian

Always great to go back to Barney's. Great clothes, great service, and great food at Fred's on the top floor. I was there last week and basically gave them my wallet. If you haven't been to Barney's you haven't been shopping. Is this 100 characters yet? This stupid citysearch thing i am testing requires 100 characters. What a stupid user experience.

• Pros: Great salads
• Cons: You'll probably spend some serious $$ after lunch shopping

DONT BUY FROM BARNEYS

by ecdc

barneys services are soooo bad. if someone doesnt wanna buy your stuff doesnt mean that someone cant afford it. the online website is a joke. out of stock items are always posted in the sale section. if you do decide to get one that is in stock, too bad it is out of stock too. and they cancel your order automatically for "security reasons" this is ridiculous. i tried ordering TWICE. it still says cancelled for security reasons. i recommend shopbop and revolveclothing. BARNEYS ARE OVERPRICED ANYWAY. EVEN THE SALES. the same helmut lang dress i wanted to get was on sale at shopbop but didnt have my size. shopbop sells it for $135 and barneys.... $209. I was willing to pay more to get my size but yeah i guess they are merely trying to give consumers the impression that they have alot of stock and sizes and their prices are totally a deal but its all a joke. dont ruin your day by being their customer. I have already ruined mine.

wow what horrible people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by sexandthecityaholic

i went to go buy my boyfriend a gift for his birthday , he wanted the jackspade bookbag for school, so i found it their, no one offered to help me, these guys there looked like air head concided modles, when it came time to pay i had to wait for the guy at the register to finish his conversation with the other employee, then they tell me they dont have gift boxes to go down stairs and ask the men their, so i go and ask and they snapped at me, they were like go back where you bought them and ask for a box, i explained that where i bought it they directed me downstairs and he said well your not egtting a box from me! i cant belive the attitude , i was so furious the man had me in tears, by far the worst shopping experience iv ever had in my life and everyone their shoyuld be fired...i bet if i walked in with a black card they'd kiss up!

• Pros: non
• Cons: all the cons you can imagin A-Z ,(this message originally contained 100 curses they made me delete!)

Teri Bienvenue Jewery IS...or was... at Barneys !

by get_yer_gun

I dont usually write reviews. But I agree with the poster, about the sales asscoiates who dont know their merchandise, or cant be bothered. ( Trust, me I think Barneys is the absolute best fashion store in the universe...the NYC one, not all the other barneys are as fab!!!)

I have some Teri Bienvenue earrings purchased at the Barneys in Seattle, WA a while back. Mind you they had only a few of her pieces but they were there. She isnt a big name designer or anything, or maybe a one time thing, so her name may not be to forthcoming. However at the NYC Barneys I had asked to be directed to the Gabrielle Sanchez Jewelry, the sales associate initially said.."um...I dont think we have it..." Maybe she should have read the name inside one of the Jewelry Cases. she was standing in front of. I mean, come on !!! Gabrielle Sanchez has a seprate part of a jewelry case..with her name in metallic letters within the case, and the sales gal was telling me "NO I dont think we have it "? That is pure nonsense.

Other than the forementioned uniformed sales associate I experienced, Barneys is still the greaaaaaatest shopping experiences of life. Great clothes, great jewelry, and for the most part great great service. I love their cosmetics department the best, small ,but the associates/make up artists are all well informed on their product lines, and when they apply make up on your face, they make you look fabulous, and not like a call girl or something !!! The gorgeous Bobbi Brown ladies are my faves !

That's my rant, over.

Annie...fashion police.

• Pros: C'mon !!!! It's BARNEYS. !!!! Fashion Mecca of the universe. Fabulous merchandise always !!!
• Cons: None. I love the plase. Will be buried there if allowed. Bobbi Brown gals to do make up !!! LOL....

I know I bought it there ! Barneys wouldnt believe me !

by t_tsmith

I love Barney's !!! It is truly the greatest clothing/fashion accessories store in the universe. Great quality, the buyers have great taste.GREAT SHOES ! I go there at least once a month when on business in NYC ! Last November I purchased a Teri Bienvenue Necklace, and earrings, suggested by a sales associate to match a dress I also purchased for a cocktail party. Very recently I inquired about the jewlery designer, and was rudely told "her line isnt here it's only at bergdorfs", which is untrue. I know I purchased the jewelry at Barneys, I am not an idiot, i know where I buy things, and I dont go to bergdorfs unless with my mother....LOL.... I dont expect sales stafff to know every item in the place, or the name of every designer represented at Barneys, but I always thought that the staff was their to assist patrons, not repramand them. Dont worry, I made her feel like more of a fool, than she tried to do to me. ( Had the sales slip, with the item number...I wanted another to give as a birthday gift to a friend who really loved the set i got). Then the sales girl who helped me picked the jewelry out in november emerged and she did remember the purchase, sort of. This is my only "bad" experience at Barneys New York . But it is still my favorite store of all time...just ignore moody sales staff, and find an associate who isnt having a bad day.

• Pros: Layout of the store is pleasing.
• Cons: Sales staff not always knowledgeable about merchandise based on my recent visit.
