First C. Wonder and now this! Gap said it will be closing its online concept Piperlime in coming months, which is sad news to many. We loved Piperlime because it was really well curated, but at more reasonable price points than other online retailers like Net A Porter and Shop Bop. They also ran great sales and free shipping, two added bonuses. We also loved when they invited celebrities and fashionistas in to do designer edits (Especially the Olivia Palermo and Shay Mitchell ones)
While we’ll have to bargain hunt elsewhere, there is a silver lining for those of us with a smart retail eye. We anticipate giant sales in coming weeks as Gap looks to liquidate its inventory. We’ll follow up with the best of the sales. New Yorkers — their Soho store, pictured, will also get the boot.
