With all the sample sales taking place today, it may not have been easy to figure out which one to hit first.  Artsy Anna hit up the Escada sample sale.  While she didn’t have much of a wait to get in this morning, apparently the line was growing as she left (I bet it wasn’t as bad as the line for the Phillip Lim sample sale this morning).  Here’s Anna’s report:

I’ve been to many an Escada sale but I’ve never seen a line to enter the expansive semi-annual sale at the Metropolitan Pavilion.  I waited about 15 minutes but by the time I left it was almost a half hour wait and stretching nearly out the door!  I make the pilgrimage every time the sale comes around and I enjoy the hunt for Escada’s well made vibrant solids.  That said, for a twenty-something, my style sense is pretty much classic or even a little bit conservative and the brand tends to attract a more mature crowd.  I was surprised to see so many eager shoppers in such a wide age range.  The sale is usually well attended but I’ve never seen anything like this. Maybe it’s the recent lack of good sales, maybe the economy is turning around, or maybe Escada is becoming the It brand of the moment but the pulse was going strong.
