Louis Vuitton to open in
It doesn't come as any surprise that LV would be opening a store inside Nordstrom. They've become the new Marshall Field's here in Chicago. Macy's version of lowend private label bags along with offering some Coach isn't my idea of good shopping.
I bet several Macy stores do close in Chicagoland by second half of the year. The stores are so dirty and unorganized. Their sales staff is unknowledgable of the products and averrage about 18 years old more interested in text messaging than actually helping any customers in their stores.
Get real! Fields was a dowdy department store whose attempts to upscale 10 locations (not the entire chain) was such a failure that Target had to sell it before it pulled Target's sales down enough to cause irreparable harm! Field's was NO Nordstrom!!
Actually, if Andy (an admitted Macy's employee in Cincy who trolls Chicago newspaper forums) had any actual knowledge of Marshall Field's history, he'd realize that the very heritage of Marshall Field's was upscale. It wasn't until owners such as Target, May and Macy's decided to dumb things down (in increasing degrees) that the stores had lost some of their cache.
Of course, Macy's is completing the destruction by purposefully driving away any remaining discerning customers and instead stocking lowcost and, at least in theory, highmargin schlock such as Alfani, Style Co. and Martha Stewart. Of course, as Andy actually realizes, that lowestcommondenominator approach isn't working either, as customers of all income brackets still stay away from Macy's, particularly those in Chicago.
Kudos to LV and Nordstrom for shrugging off the lowestcommondenominator approach that Macy's prefers and instead setting higher standards for quality, relative price and instore experience.

How would someone in Hamilton,Ohio know anything about Marshall Fields? Fields State Street was nothing like Nordstromeither in its branch locations or the main store in Seattle. It was a full service department store, not just a ladies shoe and fasion emporium. And it wasn't dowdy, either. It had highend designer brands as well as a contemporary section for younger customers. And Target sold it at a profit to May Co., so the stores must have been doing something right.
You're quite right. Field's was known for the many highend designers and instore boutiques found in the State Street store and other locations. In fact, these internationally respected brands sold quite well at Field's, many were the leading revenue producers in the nation for their respective brands. Anyone who lives in Chicago knows that Field's was generally the most frequent source for highend fashion used for fashion photo spreads in magazines like Chicago Social. The Dolce Cabanna boutique is one example of many that understandably moved out when Macy's moved in.
It would seem that posters who would have us believe that Field's was a failing brand choose to ignore the truth about what Field's represented in Chicago and the PROFITS Field's produced each and every year. These profits were growing during the two years immediately prior to Macy's moving in, after which the revenues and profits took an nosedive that has continued ever since.
That many of the highend brands that left Marshall Field's have moved to Nordstrom, Neiman's and Saks all of which have enjoyed growth attributed largely to the influx of Field's customers is evidence of Macy's failed expansion strategy that has cost Chicago a renowned and iconic destination department store.
LV's move into Nordstrom's further demonstrates that Field's highend segment is sound, and that another opportunity for a unique Chicago brand to distinguish itself with appeal to tourists and locals alike has been lost.
Field's is as Chicago as it gets, but as Macy's the stores have become embarrassing outposts of a generic national mid/discount tier brand. I applaud the many people who continue to call for Field's return to the city it helped make a worldclass destination and great place to live!
I think the name on the store really does matter. Marshall Field's, Foley's (our former local Houston "hometown department store"), Lazarus (I am orig. from Ohio), etc mean something to their respective communities. It is city or state pride in shopping at these former local stores. Now all are Macy's and all are pretty dull now.
Reduced customer service, more generic merchandise, more dealing with stupid coupons where the exclusions outnumer the things actually on sale, dumb New York "celebrities" (Donald Trump is NOT a good thing), and more are now the staple of Macy's. Macy's used to be good about 5 years ago, but has steadily gone downhill from there. Now Macy's is on the same level as JCPenny and almost downgraded to a Sears.
Bring back Foley's, Marshall Field's, Lazarus, and other local stores and restore the merchandise to their former higher qualities and bring back customer service and then maybe the sinking ship that is now Macy's can survive.
At least there is Dillard's, Lord Taylor, Nordstrom, and others still here.
Great comments,[url=http://www.holisteroutlet.cc]http://www.holisteroutlet.cc[/url],flyboyhouston! Field's, Foley's, Kaufmann's, Lazarus, Filene's were something specialbecause they couldn't be found in every shopping mall. In taking over all the regional stores, Terry Lunkgreed has truly constructed macymart. A low end (but overpriced) generic, nondescript store full of bland merchandise that can be found everywhere. Sticking a INC or Charter Club label and high price ticket on Kmart style and quality clothing isn't going to drive customer traffic.
McDonald's, Starbucks, macymart, Sears, walmartall the same, nothing special, why bother. Just as going out for a special dinner does not mean McDonald's, shopping for something of quality and value does not mean macymart.
The Louis Vuitton Store IN Marshall Field's on State Street Was a really nice in store boutique with a nice array of offerings Although I visited Field's several times a week, I only visited the LV boutique a few times as I did not often need anything LV, but it was great for it to be there I miss Field's I used to go there all the time for lunch and usually picked up something I neededseveral times a week. Field's was special and GREAT. I rely a lot on Nordstrom now but you just cant get everything there the way you could at Field's. I never go to Macy's. I tried but there is nothing there I want to buy and I don't even go to eat there anymore.
