Apparently a discounted Marc Jacobs bag is enough to send women into a frenzy: a one-day sale at the designer's NYC store was a particularly horrible kind of madness. Says W, the door-buster was "a full-house frenzy of fashion girls, and some boys, who ferreted furiously through the piles of bags, heavy on bubblegum pink Sofias and frog-closure nylon pouches. The determined shoppers squeezed in and elbowed, grabbing goods in multiples as if they, or at least mom and dad, were blissfully untouched by any of this silly economic talk." [W]
