Designer Deals Galore - Loehmann's currently reigns as queen of the discount designer merchandise on the Upper West Side. Although there are small selections of men's and babies clothing, Loehmann's focuses on the female consumer, from lingerie to costume jewelry to bags to shoes to dresses. Those interested in premier designers such as Dolce & Gabbana, Armani, and Marc Jacobs should start upstairs on the left. Although you'll have to cope with clothing that is sometimes a couple of seasons old in some crazy colors and fabrics, label lovers will rejoice in finding items marked down to half price or more. A small selection of premier designer purses, including Valentino, and shoes is also available. Loehmann's carries an excellent selection of high end sunglasses, including Burberry, Versace, and Prada. Beyond the premier designer labels, a number of other coveted brands can be found, like Seven for All Mankind Jeans and Michael Stars tees. Although the suit section is lacking in selection, there is a good selection of shoes at all price ranges. The costume jewelry section is particularly appealing, carrying a variety of on-trend pieces. The cheaply priced- but not cheaply made- cashmere sweaters in various styles are another worthy buy.
