Let me rephrase something here,
yes of course the point of any business's site is to sell stuff, If barneys
didn't feel like this site would add to the bottom line at some point, they
wouldn't have paid joshua to do it. now that being said, _this_ site is
more about style and the feel of barneys then placing that $300 sweater in a
shopping cart and entering your visa #
