Shopping: Comme and gone

The Comme des Garcons collection sold out in 10 minutes at the H&M store at the Beverly Center this morning, with all the grabbing and shoving you’d expect for a limited edition cheap chic line. According to an H&M spokesperson, people started calling Monday asking if they could get in line. The answer was “no,” at least not until this morning.
We had heard that shoppers would be limited to two pieces. Not so; a friend of a friend spent $2,000! It’s no wonder that as of this afternoon, more than 200 pieces had landed on eBay. Women’s trench coats have an opening bid of $500 (they sold for $199), which makes the $39 opening bid for the drop crotch trousers (originally $59.90) seem like a bargain.
