I was traveling in Boca Roton, Fla and stumbled across The Porsche Design Store. I was told only a few are in the USA.... Expensive but nice stuff.

I was in the Las Vegas City Center store last week. Nice stuff, almost pulled the trigger on a new set of classic aviator sunglasses. When did they become $600?! The manager turned out to be a really nice and attractive latino women who, when she tries to sell you things, stands so close her breasts brush up against you...

not a bad sales tactic.

About 15 years after they went out of style.

their stuff is terribly overpriced though. their sneakers for example are adidas with a proprietary design but priced at some multiple of the original

Going to the store on SF Wednesday. I usually go by the SF or Bev Hills locations when I travel to see if there's anything I just can't do without. To date I'm glad to say I've only purchased a single pair of Adidas driving shoes...but came close to buying a few other things. I just have to tell myself that the $$$ I'd be spending there could be used for something I'd much prefer on my GTS (or house, or wife, or vacation, or ...).

Nice stuff, but incredibly overpriced.

I've purchased a few things from the store in NYC. In my opinion, the quality of their stuff is subpar. I had their phone and besides the great GT3 ringtone it was the worst phone I've ever had.

LOL, I was dumb enough to buy the shoes, wore them for about a day, most uncomfortable shoes I've ever worn. Sold them on ebay to recoup some costs.

I do Sales Training for a living but don't teach that tactic.....hmmmmm....something to consider. Sounds like it worked like a charm with you!

How long did you stay in the store and more importantly did she get you to buy those $600 glasses?

So, you bought a phone from a ... Porsche Design Store... and you were surprised that it wasn't comparable to a phone... bought at a phone store? Interesting.
