Escape to Eskandar (NYC)

Eskandar's home collectionDevout fans of London-based designer Eskandar will no longer have to suffer the company of Bergdorf Blondes to stock up on his sophisticated separates and home accessories. The designer, formerly sold only at Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf, will celebrate the opening of his first U.S. boutique tonight. His entire line, including exclusives like embroidered linens, will be available at the Greenwich Village flagship. 33 E. 10th St., (212) 533-4200

I personally have never minded the Bergdorf blondes. It is the obnoxious manager (Meryl), who, as Eskandar himself knows, is disliked by about half the clients, who has kept me shopping at the Paris store or at Neiman- or at Sonia Rykiel, where the welcome is warmer.

The obnoxious manager (Meryl) ?????
OK - she may be quite the character ...but without a doubt, the darling of retail.

Meryl, you're a sweetheart - we love you!!!!!

Being a "character" to me means having some kind of eccentric, but lovable qualities. There is absolutely nothing lovable about Meryl. She is grumpy and unprofessional. Try Paxil or SOMETHING, Meryl.
