Designer Resale is consistently recognized as the place to shop for bargains on designer clothes in New York City. Here are some photos from a recent appearance on the Today Show covering New York Fashion Shops.

Cut Price Catwalk

Designer Resale featured in the article "Cut-Price Catwalk" (by Chris Haslam), saying: "The dollar's a bargain and if you're out to save serious cash, head for NY consignment stores....a bargain basement blitzkrieg".

Make sure you pay attention to the color-coded items , because merchandise is reduced by 20 percent after 30 days and by half after 60 days. Keep that in mind while you are skimming the racks loaded with Joseph Abboud (suits are $150) Chanel,and Armani.

Gavin McLeod is a man who understands, perhaps better than a therapist, the tides and vagaries of the heart that help to keep the resale business afloat. He is an actor, who for so many years, played the affable captain of "the Love Boat." I met him and his wife, Patti, who were visiting the city from Los Angeles, Christmas shopping for their proliferating nuclear family (they have seven grown children) at Designer Resale, the flagship of a three-shop fleet (Gentlemen's and Designer's Resale Too are the auxiliary vessels) at 324, 322, and 311 East 81st Street "When I see a woven - leather tote from Bottega,

bells go off, " Patti MacLeod said with fervor. " It Doesn't matter how many stripes you have, " the captain added. " With seven kids, you travel resale class. " One could tinkle a few Christmas bells with a new, toast-colored Prada saddlebag ($375); silver link earrings from Tiffany ($125); a rhinestone "eye" brooch by Chanel ($150); or - at the adjacent men's store - Polo suspenders in brown or black alligator ($95); a selection of Charvet pocket squares ($20) and a Donna Karen car coat in olive suede, originally priced at $2,395 ( tag still attached ) and here $50.

Chanel, Gucci, Prada-all worn once or twice, then dropped off for deeply discounted sale at consignment shops. The best include the Designer Resale, Gentlemen's Resale, with deals on threads for the whole family.

Zagat Survey - New York City Shopping

Designer Resale "Nothing like buying Anna Sui for one-third the price" gloat groupies of this spacious consignment store that stretches across several brownstones' ground floors; "arranged in neat, well edited racks", the "delectable items in all sizes" "range from Chanel and Armani to (relative) cheapies like Eileen Fisher and Ellen Tracy Company"; what with the affiliated Gentlemen's Resale store adjacent and a Designer's Resale Too shop across the street, this concern threatens to take up all of East 81st street.

New stuff arrives daily so the relative amount of clothing versus everything else, can vary widely, depending on when you visit. Don't expect the staff to know exactly what they have in stock-who could blame them? But they'll be more than happy to accommodate you in most other ways. As you'd expect you can find some real bargains here, though Myrna's not going to take total advantage of her largesse.

And if you're wondering what to do with all your clothes not being worn, this is the place to unburden their closets. It's like having a slew of hand-me-downs
