AFTER-CHRISTMAS SHOPPING

The day after Christmas, retailers opened earlier than ever and slashed prices with hopes of salvaging a holiday season that is falling short of modest expectations.



Above is a capture of a still Christmasy scene outside the flagship boutique of CARTIER, located at 653 Fifth Avenue at 52nd Street in Manhattan two days after Christmas. The boutique is situated in a private mansion built between 1903 and 1905. In 1917, Pierre Cartier bought the mansion for $100 and a pearl necklace worth a million dollars.
