Bitten by Sarah Jessica Parker

[kissmesweet]

was most satisfying to me on the opening day was to see the preponderance of plus-size women and women of color.

Oh, I'm not at all excited about the line--but that's really sweet of SJP to say.

 

[I_Want_That_One]

I just bought 2 shirts, 1 pair of jeans and a dress. Nothing over 20 bucks and the fitting is perfect! I'm SJP's size height/weight wise and it's so hard trying to find clothes, especially jeans, that fit well. I can't imagine this stuff not selling. I've never found clothes that flatter my body and are soooo cheap!I love her even more than before!

i really want some of her line, but the nearest Steve and Barry's is in Athens.

Does anyone know when they will start stocking fall/winter merchandise? I really want that swingy gray cardigan SJP wore during her initial promotion of the line at one of the stores.

I went a couple of weeks ago and asked the guy at the store when the fall line was coming in (there's a pair of wide-leg jeans I have my eye on) and he said he didn't know.

 

[kahlilg]

Has anyone seen her commercial for her perfume?

 

[meeks]

^ Yes! It's been playing all weekend. Her styling in it looks so much like the witch she played in "Hocus Pocus". I was confused like "Why is that witch busting up that window?"

instyle makeover magazine (with ali larter on the cover) says the fall stuff will be out mid august.

 

[scandinavianchic]

I just watched oprah, and they said it would be out August 9th or 10th.

 

[artcat]

I love the jeans!!

an explanation of the bag knockoff

OOPS...WON'T DO IT AGAIN: The Bitten by Sarah Jessica Parker handbag used to illustrate a story about unauthorized copies, "Senate Joins Knockoff Battle," in Thursday's New York Times, was "inadvertently" produced, said Steve & Barry's, the low-priced chain that exclusively sells the Bitten collection. In the story by Eric Wilson, the Bitten City handbag, priced at $9.95, was shown beside Anna Corinna's City Bag model, which ranges in price from $384 to $480, with the implication the higher-priced handbag inspired the design of the lower-priced one. "A prototype of a bag Sarah Jessica Parker and the Bitten design team never approved for production was inadvertently produced by Steve & Barry's," Howard Schacter, chief partnership officer, said in a statement. "When the error was discovered, production of the bag was immediately stopped. It was never put on sale at Steve & Barry's stores, and images of it were eliminated from all marketing materials. This unfortunate incident has resulted in Steve & Barry's examining its entire production process and making appropriate changes to help ensure this type of error doesn't happen in the future."

Wilson said Steve & Barry's requested The Times publish a clarification, but the newspaper declined. "They contacted me and asked for that, but it was not wrong what we showed," he said. "All the images came from Fashionista.com."

A photo of the handbag appeared previously in The Times, on June 20, in a Q&A with Parker written by Cathy Horyn. The photo was credited to Steve & Barry's.

I checked out the jewelry the other day, and so far, that is the only part of her line that I really found to be cheapo looking.

Oh I disagree, I get many compliments on her jewelry. Especially on a very sweet chrome bangle and hoops earrings in silver. Love it!

 

[Madhuri]

There's a great long blue wool coat by Bitten in the new In Style with Gwen Stefani on the cover. It's only $20!!!

 

[nogoodforme]

they've updated the bitten website with some images from the fall collection. still very basic stuff, but there's kimono sleeve sweater i'm keen to check out, as well as the metallic bag. (i got the large cargo bag for the summer and, i have to say, get tons of compliments on it!) there's also some wide-leg suspender jeans, which could be promising for those who are looking for an inexpensive way to try out the wide-leg trend--they could be cool if i could remove the suspenders

I went to Steve and Barry's on Friday, but mine still had the same old summer stuff.

I love the little charm bracelet I bought from the collection.

Same here. I went Saturday.

a few fall things have trickled into the one in manhattan: some of the woven shirts and the turtlenecks. but no sweaters, suiting, coats, anything *really* fall-like yet...

 

[cosmogrl5]

^ Yeah, I did see a few turtlenecks. She makes a t-shirt that I have bought in EVERY color, so I just got one more of those in white. I cannot wait for all of the new things though! The line is really catching on. I saw a woman in her late-40s carrying a Bitten handbag today.
