Designer Bargains At Rue la la!     5 comments

Posted on September 3, 2009 by Valerie Hoff in Money, VALues

Discount designer boutiques have sprung up on the internet lately.  Many of them require an  invitation by an existing member and some have waiting  lists.

Some are extremely expensive.  But Ruelala.com features designers like Prada, Nannett Lepore, Michael Kors, BCBG and Cole Haan and Seven For All Mankind, often at 70% off retail store prices.  I scored Sevens for fall for 69.99, not too shabby!  And I didn’t have to scour my bargain haunts all  around Atlanta for my size! 

Ruelala has more than 500 thousand members. It allows returns but for store credit only.

For an invitation to shop, click on http://www.ruelala.com/invite/valuesval

Once you join,  you can invite friends to join and you carn store credits when they make a purchase.  Sales normally start at 11am and popular items sell out quickly!
