Starting Today

The recession has hit GUCCI.

From Racked.com – DSW in Union Square has received a shipment of GUCCI items that is being sold for 60% off.
The prices are still ridiculous after markdown – $49.99 for GUCCI hats and $59.95 for a GUCCI teddy bear?? But it may be worth checking out for hardcore fans. Women’s shoes ranged from $149.99 to 299.99 and it looks like they a good selection of bags.
