New Kid on the Block: Saks Fifth Avenue Men’s Store

February 24, 2017 Shopping

The Saks Fifth Avenue Men’s Store has opened at Brookfield Place, above P.J. Clarke’s. At 16,000 square feet, it’s big, but still less than a fifth of the size of the Saks women’s store elsewhere in the mall. The emphasis is on high-end brand names—Saint Laurent, Thom Browne, Paul Smith, Canada Goose, etc.—with areas devoted to bags, fragrance and grooming, sunglasses, headphones, and a lot of shoes, especially sneakers. There’s a Leather Spa shoe shine station, and a Sharps barber chair will soon be in operation. Take a look around….

Saks Men’s Store is at 250 Vesey; 646-344-6300; saksfifthavenue.com.

    High-end – Canada Goose. I spit my cocktail out across the desk with that one! Good one!

    I walked away unimpressed last night.

    Imagine the men’s floor at the Bloomingdales in Soho, take what they display and smush it into 2/3 the floor space.

    The worst part though was the really “green” staff. I asked what Chelsea boots they had, to which 2 people said they had never heard of that “brand” and one asked me to help him identify a Chelsea boot from other types.

    Will it get better? Probably, but rookie mistakes for such a high-end focused store make it a long road ahead.
