The buyer: Jeannie Lee, owner, Satine, L.A.
What did you invest in heavily for spring? For spring we invested heavily in Tsumori Chisato, Lanvin runway shoes (above) and bags, Balenciaga runway shoes (which sold out before they even hit the floor), and all things Isabel Marant. Lanvin’s Kentucky canvas tote with yellow leather trim has been our best-selling bag.
What’s been your biggest seller so far? Alaïa gladiators—I was out of the store the day they arrived and never even got to see a single pair.
What had the longest waiting list? Alexander Wang’s baggy denim shorts are selling by the dozens (literally), and we have a wait list of over 100 people who want a pair for fall. It’s rare to see such an identifiable item have such long-term demand.
What are your customers asking for when they come in? Jewelry in bold, geometric shapes; gladiator sandals; ostrich-skin bags; tailored dresses; and slouchy pants.
