The DKNY sample sale kicked off this morning to the public in the Flatiron District. Yesterday (Monday), sale organizers at 260 Fifth Avenue opened the doors for a preview. There was no line in the late afternoon. Inside, a few shoppers were browsing and some were lined up waiting to get into the dressing room in the back.
The space was filled with lots of merchandise – many from this current spring/summer season. Women’s apparel hung on racks (organized by size from 0-14) on the main floor. Signs for pricing were posted on columns throughout the space. The deals weren’t too bad – dresses were going for $85, skirts/blouses/sweaters were priced at $50, bottoms – including pants, skirts and shorts were all tagged at $40, jackets were now going for $125 and leather for $250 ( you can see a complete list of pricing by looking below for the image of the price list).
Near the cash registers were a slew of handbags in all sorts of styles and sizes ($75 for large bags, $40 for small ones). In one corner stood a rack of swimwear for $20. You’ll find the footwear way in the back (all shoes/sandals are $30, boots at $50). Also on offer was a limited selection of pieces from the Donna Karan Collection which included mostly earth tone draped jersey dresses for $125.
The men’s merchandise was located along one wall, including suits ($125), shirts ($30), pants ($40), jackets ($125) and more. On a table were a limited selection of shoes ($30). The sale goes through this Saturday…
Where/When: 260 Fifth Avenue (b/w 28th & 29th Streets). Aug 21-25; Tues (10-8p), Wed-Thurs (9-8p), Fri (10-6p), Sat (10-5p).
They have Collection!!!!! I totally was going to blow it off. May have to go now. Thx for the update!!
Deme – Yes… they do have Collection. But I warn you, very limited pieces and only two racks. I was considering the jersey dresses but sizing was spotty.
Any leather skirts or dresses?
Hi Alex – I didn’t see any leather skirts or dresses but I was focusing on small sizes (0-2). I did see a suede Collection pant and a few leather jackets (DKNY jeans).
Got the trademark DK Colllection Jersey dress. Even got the jersey blazer. $800 pair of platform heels to go with it for $85. Mostly collection shoes and dresses left. No additional markdowns in rest of store as far as I can tell
Deme – you did well! I was eyeing a collection dress but they didn’t have my size.
Okay thanks! I’m a size 00-0 too. Bummer there weren’t leather skirts. Thanks!
Thank you for the info! I picked up a beautiful Donna Karen collection silk dress that was originally 3500 for 125! However, I was sad to see that most of the purses are gone.
i received an email that price have been reduced. any report on the extent of the slashing? i was also told that clothing has been restocked, but no additional shoes or bags.
