In all the running around that Artsy Anna has been doing today, she managed to stop into the Calypso St. Barth sample sale in the Flatiron to give us an update:
My dove gray crochet sweater (bought on sale one winter at the Calypso store on Madison Avenue) is one of my favorites.  I have a vacation coming up so I decided to check out their sale for some new resort-wear. Prices haven’t been reduced but there’s a fairly good amount to choose from.  For $9, you can buy current (not discontinued) scents like Mimosa and Tangerine.  The company has decided to change the packaging which is why they’re such a steal. You’ll also find a small selection of bags and housewares toward the back of the large space.  Cashmere sweaters are $99, kaftans and tunics run $49-$99.  I was about to buy a pastel rugby stripe knit dress ($29) but I put it back on the rack when I reminded myself  that I look terrible in pastels.
Sale ends Friday at 1pm. Let us know if sale organizers dropped prices further. Where/When: 260 Fifth Avenue (b/w 28th & 29th Streets). Thru June 18; Thurs (10-630pm), Fri (10-1pm).
I was there around 6pm today and they offered an extra 30% off your purchase.
Thanks for the update! I wonder if they’ll have even further discounts in the last hours of the sale today.
