Street Level Gotham


Από τα department stores Barney’s & Takashiyiama ήταν η καλύτερη shopping experience από τον Νοέμβριο 2007 έως και σήμερα. Το Barney’s είχε οικολογικό μήνυμα και το Takashiyiama λιτό και φίνο. Κάτι άλλο που μας άρεσε ήταν το sales style του προσωπικού. Στα δύο αυτά πολυκαταστήματα the sales people ήταν less aggressive, με άλλα λόγια δεν τσιρίζανε με νόημα ‘’ my name is Kenny may I help you ‘’.
Oταν αγοράζετε μαγιό, εσώρουχα, ή οτιδήποτε φοριέται απευθείας στο σώμα
ΜΕΓΑΛΗ ΠΡΟΣΟΧΗ. Ειδικά μαγιό και εσώρουχα. Σε πολύ ακριβο κατάστημα διαπιστώσαμε ότι το μαγιό που θα δοκιμάζαμε ήταν ΒΡΩΜΙΚΟ.
