Holy cow! I wonder what bags were part of the sale. Oh, how I wish I could have been walking down that street.     From the June 12, 2006, WWD
Marc Madness By Venessa Lau

NEW YORK — It was 11:30 a.m. on Friday, and Nancy Smith, a nanny, was on her way to Washington Square Park, stroller and tot in tow. Cutting through SoHo, however, something caught her eye: a sign in a window at 163 Mercer Street reading, "Marc Jacobs Secret Sale." Putting her park plans on hold, she planted herself and her charge in line for the chance to buy the designer's handbags, which were going for $150 a pop. According to Robert Rich, director of retail public relations, about 600 bags from Jacobs' resort 2000 collection were shipped in just for the sale.

  A couple of months ago we were driving down Bleecker and my husband saw a big sign in the Marc Jacobs shop window that everything was $25. My husband got a pair of cream-colored jeans and a couple of denim blazers and i got a men's yellow blazer, which is too big, and needs to make its way to ebay.
