The Sale: Homme et Femme Satellite Sale!

Many people ask me about the rationale of buying expensive brands. Well, for one, they're extremely well made. More often than not, if you pick the right brands to buy, you'll end up having them for years, decades even, good enough for your kids to inherit when they're grown like you. Another is because they make the best innovative and/or classic pieces that will make you stand out. Yeah, if only I had the money I would, but why all this love for pricey swag all of a sudden, you ask?

Well, Homme et Femme, my go-to shop to marvel at the works of Y-3, Commes des Garcons, and A.P.C., among others, is on the mother of all sales! I recently visited their satellite shop in Power Plant and was delighted to see shoes and bags at very generous discounts, some up to half the price off! Of course, if the base damage was huge to begin with, you're still going to have items with very hefty price tags, but if you're committed to the investment, there's no better time to get 'em than now!

The suede derby and desert boot are my two top picks!

The black Y-3 leather lace-ups are a close second

More discounted Y-3 sneakers to fulfill your heart's desire

The black Jil Sander lace-ups (non-patent!) would be great for the office!

Some fine bags for you to consider. The A.P.C. green tote is tops!
