Barney's gives new meaning to "high end"

Susie

I saw this on the news this morning and had to share. Barney's has opened a new lifestyle shop with products related to pot. There are items like custom glass pipes and a solid gold rolling tray.

So who's going shopping at Barney's?

Heard they were in take over discussions.

Maybe this will bring them back in the black.

I got to be honest, pot accoutrements will never have the It factor of opium or coke or moonshine. And please, no one try to talk to me about ‘art’ on molly: Snapchat much?

Times are changing! IMO it's a good thing.....but this is a fashion forum so not the place to debate it. Cannabis became legal here in Canada last October so the novelty is wearing off. But it's an interesting time in history for sure.

Rachylou.....The amount of dollars spent on cannabis in Canada since legalization is astounding. I'm talking the legal stuff.....the black market is still alive and well due to pricing.

Marilyn - Is it Colorado that has weed resorts? Cannabis is a gold rush industry, totally.

... but I’m telling ya, it is not the stuff of keeningly romantic tragedy, which high style requires...

I am from CA and "trendy", "high end" cannabis shops are all over the place. I find it all very entertaining. But seriously it is a Serious $$$$.

Rent going from $16 mil a year to $30 to $46 mil ... annually at their flagship location in NYC. Not sure which number is true ($30 vs $46) but it sure sounds like the landlord is trying to get rid of them.

Years ago I did try on line shopping with them but the order was cancelled due to technical glitches. Ran out of stock of the item, couldn't ship to my address, etc. Woefully inept compared to Nordstrom's on line business.

Sorry to hijak this thread ... the cannibis idea is a good one but it seem like too little too late.
