Though it be unbearably hot out, sample sale season is cooling off now that summer is here. You won’t find many sample sales this week. One of the few being held is the Privé sample sale at Chelsea Market. I checked out the goods last night and found a mishmash of merchandise for [...]

I can spend hours at a flea market, looking for treasures. The Brooklyn Flea is one of my favorite places to find the most interesting things at affordable prices. The market draws about 200 vendors, selling a mix of new and used goods. You’ll find an assortment of [...]
Where/When: Chelsea Market, 75 Ninth Avenue. Thru June 20 (1030-6pm). More info and photos after the jump Calypso St. Barth’s sample sale comes just in time for the summer heat. I arrived to yesterday’s friends and family day just before closing. It wasn’t mobbed but it was still very busy. There were women walking down the aisles carrying armfuls of clothing and trying to make it to the dressing room [...] DwellStudio, the modern hip home furnishing NYC label, is hosting a sample sale this week in Soho. I stopped in Sunday afternoon looking for sheets. In past sales, I’ve come across great bedding in a wide selection of the label’s fun whimsical designs. This time, I was disappointed. There wasn’t much to [...]
While there was plenty of merchandise to be had at 60 to 85 percent off, there didn’t seem to be as much of a selection as previous sample sales. Let’s start with the frilly feminine frocks since that’s what Tocca is known for… I spotted plenty of fabulous spring/summer dresses. The only problem: most of the dresses are sample sizes (that means size 4 or 6). I found one rack for sizes 0 and 2 and another for sizes 8 and 12. Dresses on the majority of racks were sample sizes. I wasn’t really looking for a frock for me this time around. I wanted to get a cute dress for my niece. Despite the slim pickings, I managed to score on two darling pieces for her. I was also on the hunt for candles. They didn’t have my favorite scent Yma (Peruvian guava fruit combined with red currant) in the large candle ($20) so I settled for the Kyoto scented candle (the fragrance of Kinmokusei flowers). Small candles were going for $10. More info and photos after the jump
Yesterday was the first day of Japanese high-end retailer, Takashimaya‘s, liquidation sale where everything in the store was 40 percent off. By the end of the day, the entire store was picked through. The handbags and accessories were nearly gone on the first floor. The home section looked like a [...] The popular Japanese retailer, Takashimaya, begins its closing sale today where all merchandise will be 40 percent off. For those of us familiar with the six-floor shopping palace, we know the store offers so many one-of-a-kind treasures. I stopped in yesterday to see what I could find. On the first floor, there were [...] Sunday, I ventured into the Frette sample sale in its showroom across from the Plaza Hotel on W.58th Street. I need to stock up on towels so I thought I’d check out what they had on offer. The selection was not as big as the last Frette sale back in December which was [...] Spring cleaning? If you’re looking to spruce up your home, you might want to check out the sample sale in Chelsea Market hosted by Italian luxury bedding label, SFERRA. Bedding (such as comforters, pillows, blankets, sheets) and fine table linens are 50 to 80 percent off. What appeared to be popular with customers [...] |
