Bitten by Sarah Jessica Parker

[ohsoglam19]

i like the i dea behind the line; that fashion isnt a priviledge but a right or something like that but i think that some of her clothes are cheap looking.

yes, there are a couple of pieces that are actually good for the price but for the most part, they are not constructed so well.

and forget about the fabric. yes, for a t-shirt its not that big of a deal but i bought a pea coat for $20 - it was nice but it was SO ITCHY. there was hardly any wool in it. i gave it away... for $20 more i could have gotten something from h&m or forever21 or something.

bitten's website hasnt updated since the fall...i wonder why...

SJP was asked recently if her line has made it into the sex and the city movie..(latimes.com)

Did any of your own clothing line get into the wardrobe?

"My clothing line (Bitten) wasn't (included in the wardrobe for the movie) because, as one of our producers said, you know, there is no Sarah Jessica Parker in Carrie Bradshaw’s world. She doesn't exist, so there can't be a Bitten clothing line."

I have noticed that as well! Has anyone been into a Steve and Barrys lately? Anything new out for spring?


And that excuse the producers made is questionable at best I think!

I've given up on trying to get the items I want from Bitten. The pricing is so great that all the good stuff sells out instantly. Whenever I go it's slim pickings. If there is anything I want it's usually gone in my size and there will only be a couple of L or XL left.

 

[LAMALONE]

I understand your pain Madhuri its the same way for me too.

according to wwd and the wall street journal steve and barry's might go under soon if they cant secure financing.

wwd also noted that bitten's designers have left to seek other jobs...

 

[Madhuri]

I wondered how this company made money selling their clothes so cheap. I guess the answer is they aren't making money. It will look bad for SJP if S&B go under. People will tie her name to the company's demise somehow.

Less than five months after its first bankruptcy filing, Steve & Barry’s filed for bankruptcy again earlier this month. The store plans to liquidate, leaving Sarah Jessica Parker to find a new home for her Bitten line. She told us last night at the New York City Ballet's opening-night celebration that she's actively seeking a new retail partner. “We have a lot of home offers," Parker said. "We have to make sure that any partner we enter into an agreement with wants the same thing for the brand as we do, which is to serve the customer first. You know, it can’t be about commerce, it has to be about the customer, and we have to see who’s really willing to be that generous.” She said she wants to continue the brand's original mission of offering affordable clothing. "Now, more than ever, people need all things that are about economy," she continued. "So I want very much to continue it in the right way. So we just have to figure out what’s right for the customer, and how to do it in these economic times.”

your highlight really shows a refreshing perspective....no one who does this,ever says such things. when the person buying is more important than commerce.

I wonder if she's in talks with Target. A partnership with them might allow her to bring the quality up a bit and still keep the product affordable and available to a large percentage of people.

I doubt it will be the case because Target already has a lot going on with the Go-International lines and the upcoming McQ collaboration, but I feel like Bitten could take the place of the Isaac Mizrahi line.

 

[lucy92]

i doubt target would ever partner with SJP. they dont have any celebrity lines and it would tarnish their reputation.

if she really wanted it to be the lowest price possible, she'd partner with walmart, but that would tarnish her reputation

and what does "home offers" mean, anyway?
