"When it comes to shopping, we New Yorkers are a lucky bunch. We&amp;#x27;ve got some of the world&amp;#x27;s best department stores (the one-of-a-kind Bergdorf Goodman and the original Barneys New York), miles of vintage, every fast fashion chain you can imagine, and a slew of high-end boutiques you won&amp;#x27;t find anywhere else. And I&amp;#x27;m sorry to rub salt in the wounds of all of those who live outside the tri-state area, but it looks like our brand-spanking-new Costco is better than most, too. And that&amp;#x27;s because the mega-store best known for industrial-size olive oil and lifetime supplies of batteries and toilet paper is selling serious luxury handbags at its new Manhattan location. Yeah, Louis Vuitton and Chanel bags. At Costco. Sign up for Glamour.com&amp;amp;#8217;s Style Tips of the Week and Beauty Tip of the Day newsletters! Stylelist got the inside scoop on just how much fabulousness there is to be had at the new East 116th Street store: &amp;quot;The new location currently has Chanel Classic Flap handbags available for $1,999, though the salesperson, a man, was not sure what sizes were available (baby, small, medium, large or jumbo). These regularly sell anywhere from $1,795 to $2.495. However, he did say that earlier today they sold out of Louis Vuitton Speedy bags, regularly priced from $665 to more than $3,000, all three going for $589 a pop. But there are currently &amp;#x27;a lot&amp;#x27; of Burberry and Coach bags, he said.&amp;quot; I think it&amp;#x27;s officially time for me to become a card-carrying member of Costco, dolls!
