Looks like a Lafayette 148 is coming, too, based on the latest KOP line-up. Hadn't heard of that one, but looks to be pretty high-end.

That is a high-end women's fashion brand based out of New York. Definitely worth mentioning, and it appears they are only located in the top retail markets.

Yeah. I thought the Chanel boutique looks so depressing with vacancies on both sides but it turns out theyre moving to a bigger location a block over, and Van Cleef and Arpels is moving into 140 Geary formerly occupied by All Saints.

Those are definitely top 4 staples. Which would be 5? Gotta be either SF or Vegas. What y'all think?
Definitely Vegas, city is more or less built for luxury shopping

VCA moving out of Neiman Marcus to a standalone boutique -- that's good to hear!!!
And Chanel definitely deserves a bigger store. The current one looks tiny and too modest.

That index is pretty close to the city rankings given by CD posters.

Quite a drop off after the top 3….adding some other exclusive brands (Richard Mille, Kiton, Brioni, Berluti, etc) wouldn’t change things; might even increase the gap.

They should have swapped out Louis Vuitton for Hermes imo. LV is too played out these days imo, Hermes too, but Hermes' bags are way more expensive.

VCA is actually transitioning out of Neiman Marcus entirely. The Tysons, VA store in NM will relocate to a standalone boutique elsewhere in the mall. They are also entering new markets like Philadelphia and somewhere else in California.

News I got per a friend connected to the company.
