A fellow blogger who’s site is called Rad Shopping stopped into the Mara Hoffman sale today in SoHo where items are up to 80 percent off. I met Seng at a sale last summer and we’ve run into each other at other sales. She knew I couldn’t make it to this one so she allowed me to share her findings with you. She met the designer who was apparently very helpful rearranging stock and answering questions. Seng reports a fairly busy sale and plenty of merchandise:
there’s a lot of stock and there seemed to be a few samples as well. current season swimwear is $75, but a few buckets of miscellaneous swimwear were selling for as low as $10-15. there’s a large fitting room with several mirrors in the basement, and the majority of stock seemed to end up down there. staffers were fairly diligent with gathering merchandise and putting it back out upstairs tho.
Seng picked up a few items, including a silk tank for $10, a summery skirt for $50 and a dress for $75. She also snagged two bikinis. Sale ends Sunday.
Where/When: 60 Mercer St (b/w Broome & Spring). May 21 through May 23. Fri & Sat (10-7pm); Sun (11-6pm)


Thanks for the notice; I found some amazing things — great silk jersey caftans for $100!
