A4 is here!

Yes, it's again the new Mitsukoshi I'm writing about, not a new Audi. No, Mitsukoshi didn't pay me anything to write about their latest addition again, but it's just that the soft opening today of their fourth store near the Warner Village in Taipei is the big fashion event of the week.
I already told you about the stores on the first floor, because it was possible to see their posters and ads as you walk by. Tod's is apparently selling an exclusive brownish bag exclusively for Taiwan customers at the price of 30,000 New Taiwan dollars, that's about 1,000 US dollars. Balenciaga wants half more for its lamb leather motorcycle bag, the China Times writes today.
And the rest of the store: a "jeans bar" on the 3rd floor, food on the 6th floor, and of course, cosmetics on the first or ground floor.
Will it really be all that different from other stores and especially from the Mitsukoshi's A8, A9 and A11 next door? You can find out tomorrow, I'll have to wait until Monday to reconnoitre the place and write up my impressions for you.
Just not to let Mitsukoshi steal all the attention, let me mention that Sogo is coming up with a special sale of local designers including Stephane Dou and Changlee Yugin, Chang Yang-chen and LaiCarFiore, beginning tomorrow and going into the first weekend of October.
