Have you missed Filene’s Basement since the Boston-based retailer went belly-up four years ago? Well, this week Filene’s returned from the dead — not on Rockville Pike, but on the Internet. A New York holding company that bought the Filene’s name has launched its website with loads of discounted merchandise from designers like Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Nautica, Jones New York, Kenneth Cole, Marc Jacobs and many more… including the wedding gowns that Filene’s was famous for. We were surprised to see that the store also carries brands that are normally exclusive to Macy’s, including INC, Karen Scott and American Rag. The new Filene’s promises free shipping on all orders — although it’s not immediately clear who pays when you send something back.
