Costco

OH Please, the "Lilly Pulitzer" clothing at Costco is a knock-off. All made in China. Real Lilly pieces are made in places like Peru, and the patterns of some of the dresses are not even Lilly Pulitzer patterns. The same is probably true for the other "luxury" brands you see at Costco. I know that every once in a while there is something special there, but for the most part you have to do your homework and know what you are looking at.

Prior to this store's opening, Costco had no presence whatsoever in this part of Jersey. They are so great! I like this Costco Warehouse because they offer brand-name, luxury merchandise at very reasonable prices. I saw wonderful Kate Spade handbags there for only $180, as compared to $250 at Macy's only a few miles away. What I don't like, however, is the enrollment process. The CSR made a mistake entering my membership, and inadvertently voided my membership. I had to spend about 45 minutes just getting through the whole thing. But it was worth it. Costco prices are superb, the selections are gourmet and refined. They specialize in brand name merchandise; I heard that sometimes you can even find Gucci and Prada in here! I think the luxury brand presence here makes Costco special. Where else can you find Lilly Pulitzer clothes at nice markdowns without paying for shipping? Costco rocks!
