Good Bye to Barneys New York

It looks like Barneys buyer Authentic Brands will be closing the Barneys flagship store on Madison Avenue. I’m really sad. It’s a loss of a true New York icon, plus the awful loss of jobs.

I always took for granted that the luxury retail department stores on and around 5th Avenue would always be there. Now, when I talk to sales associates from Bergdorf, Saks, and even Bloomingdale’s, they all voice concerns about the future of these New York icons.

Crushed to see you go, Barneys. It’s been grand.
