Where to Buy LaPointe: Retailers, Prices and Authenticity

LaPointe is sold in more places than most people realise, from the label’s own online store to department stores, luxury marketplaces and resale sites. Where you buy changes what you get: the size range, the season, the colours and the service behind it. This guide sets out where to buy LaPointe, what each kind of retailer is good for, and how to make sure a piece is authentic.

Who makes LaPointe?

LaPointe is the label of the American designer Sally LaPointe, founded in New York in 2010. The house is known for colour driven statement dressing: feathers, satin, sequins and head to toe tonal sets. Its collections are reviewed by Vogue Runway. Read our profile, who is LaPointe, for the full story.

Where can you buy LaPointe?

LaPointe directly. The label sells through its own online store. This is where the newest pieces and the full colour range appear first, often as pre order.

Coveti. Coveti carries one of the largest LaPointe edits online, with more than 580 styles across dresses, gowns, tops, trousers, knitwear, outerwear and accessories. Every product shows the UK size beside the US size the label uses. Start at the LaPointe edit on Coveti.

Department stores. LaPointe is stocked at American department stores including Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom. These usually carry a smaller, curated selection, weighted towards dresses and gowns.

Luxury marketplaces. Net-a-Porter, Farfetch, Moda Operandi and Revolve all sell LaPointe. Moda Operandi is known for trunk shows, where you can order runway pieces before they reach stores.

Outlet and resale. Previous seasons appear at The Outnet, and preowned pieces appear at The RealReal and on eBay. These are useful for archive pieces, but sizes are limited and returns are often restricted.

What is the best place to buy LaPointe?

It depends on what you want. For the newest collection and the full colour range, buy from the label. For a wide current selection with UK sizing and a single checkout across many designers, Coveti is the strongest choice. For a single dress from a department store you already shop at, Saks and Neiman Marcus carry the core pieces. For past seasons at a lower price, The Outnet and resale sites.

What does LaPointe cost?

LaPointe is luxury ready to wear. As a guide, jersey tops start around a few hundred US dollars, satin tops and trousers sit in the low thousands, and gowns, feathered pieces and outerwear rise from there, with the most embellished coats well into five figures. Prices vary by retailer and region, so compare the product page on the day.

What are the key LaPointe pieces to buy?

• The satin shift dress with feathers: the house signature. See the Satin Shift Dress With Feathers in Black.
• The satin cape tee: the most versatile top. See the Satin Cape Tee in Black and our cape tops guide.
• The relaxed pleated satin pant: the trouser that pairs with everything. See the satin pants guide.
• A feathered top: see the feather tops guide.
• A satin halter gown: see the evening gowns guide.

How do you know LaPointe is authentic?

Buy from the label, an authorised retailer and a reputable marketplace that authenticates its stock. Check the care label: LaPointe is designed in New York and made in several countries, so the origin varies by piece. Be wary of new season pieces sold far below the retail price on marketplaces with no returns. Feathered pieces are hard to copy well; a genuine LaPointe feather trim is dense and even, with feathers attached securely along the edge.

How does LaPointe sizing work?

LaPointe uses US sizing, from 00 on dresses and trousers and from XS on tops. If you shop in UK sizes, Coveti lists the UK equivalent on every product page. The LaPointe sizing guide has the conversion chart, and fit notes for each type of garment.
