As we enter the final days of the Barneys Warehouse Sale, the discounts get deeper and the crowds get bigger. Friday was apparently a madhouse, especially in the afternoon. A friend stopped in after work to see the offerings. He managed to snag a photo of the price list for us (see above). He tells us that the men’s selection was pretty good. He made out with four pairs of trousers, a tie and a pair of ankle boots.
As you can see from the price list, women’s designer (with the red star on tags) is now an additional 60 percent off (WHSE stamped items at 75%). Women’s ready-to-wear is also an extra 60 percent off and women’s shoes are 50 percent off the sale price (BLUE stamped shoes are 75% off). Let us know if you make it into the sale this weekend and if you score on any deals…
Yesterday, sale prices were slashed further at the Barneys Warehouse Sale. Take an extra 50 percent off women’s designer items with the “red” stamp (75% off WHSF stamped items); women’s ready-to-wear is now 50 percent off; women’s shoes is also an additional 40 percent off (BLUE stamped footwear is an extra 60% off).
Up the street from Project No. 8 is Gargyle’s end-of-season clearance sale where you’ll find items from Acne, Rachel Comey, Vena Cava, Surface to Air, United Bamboo and more for up to 85 percent off. I stopped in over the weekend. A few things caught my eye such as a Vena Cava top ($150) and dress ($175) and a pair of Surface to Air sandals ($150). But nothing else was exciting. Sale ends Sunday at 7pm. You can also find the sale online.
Where/When: Gargyle, 16A Orchard St (b/w Canal & Hester) 917-470-9367. Thru Sunday August 15th Daily (11-7p).
If you’re in the neighborhood, it’s worth stopping by Project No. 8 and No. 8b in the Lower East Side. All sale items are now an extra 20 percent off at the two boutiques. On offer are Maison Martin Margiela, MM06, Bless, Boudicca, Zero + Maria Cornejo, Stephan Sneider and more at bargain [...]
While many of us are waiting for the Barneys Warehouse Sale, this weekend’s end-of-season sale being held at the boutiques, Project No. 8 and No. 8b, is well worth the trip. I checked out the goods yesterday and found some fabulous deals. The women’s shop, Project No. 8, [...]
At 9am this morning, there were no lines, no list and no crowd at the Alexander Wang sample sale in Soho! I was told yesterday that the press preview was this morning but staffers weren’t checking names. The sales floor was busy. However, it was manageable.
I didn’t have much time to look but here’s the scoop on the goods. In the middle of the space are $25, $50 and $150 racks of random samples and overstock (dresses, tops, skirts, shorts and pants). There were also sample bins starting at $10 which already looked picked over.
Other merchandise are color coded (check out the photo below for prices). I spotted knit drapey dresses for $80, microfiber black dresses for $200, cute short jumpers for $180, light knit sweaters and pants at $160, blazers $100, leather jackets $500, jackets with leather trim for $240 and more – much more. As for handbags… as one reader (AJ) commented earlier this morning there are no Roccos with studs apart for one that is made of clear plastic. One medium sized hobo in beige (simple) that caught my eye was going for $250. The shoes are on several racks in the back and you have to ask to see them. Flats are $150, heels at $250 and boots from $250 to $300. Most of the sizes are 37s and 40s, but there are a few 38s and 39s. Also on offer are T by Alexander Wang knits in boxes (tanks, tees, etc) staring at $20.
What: Jackets are $99 (originally $365), dresses are $99 (originally $350), and shirts are $65 (originally $225) at JBNY’s sample sale. Where/When: 75 Greene St., nr Spring St.; August 3 to 5th; T–Th (10–8).
What: Deals of up to 80 percent off on apparel, shoes, and bags at the Alexander Wang sample sale. The [...]
As I’ve said before in this blog, I’m a big fan of French designer Barbara Bui‘s cool, classic and clean pieces. I’m hooked on her pants (the fit is perfect) and I love her tailored jackets but the four figure price tag is too much for me. So when she holds a sale, I try to make it. For just two days (sale ends Friday), Bui has marked down her spring/summer 2010 collection (including shoes and handbags) 70 percent off the retail price.
When I stopped in late yesterday, the boutique on Wooster Street looked sparse. Some shelves were bare. A staffer told me that a lot of shoppers had already come in throughout the day and picked through the racks. As a result, many of the smaller sizes had been snapped up. A disappointment for me since I spotted a few knit tops ($100), pants ($150+) and tanks ($50) that I really liked. But my size was not available. A pair of ballet flats in metallic blue ($120) also caught my eye. But once again, not available in my size. A few large handbags were left (mostly black for $600) and a couple of small shoulder bags for about $200. There were still a few things on offer such as jackets for $400+, dresses $300+, pants for $150+ and more, including a limited selection of heels and platforms for around $250.
Thursday is the last day of the Theory & Helmut Lang womenswear sale at Clothingline. As I reported earlier this week, the Garment District space had loads of merchandise at bargain basement prices. Some of it was damaged. But if you looked carefully, you’ll find some pretty good basics. If you’re in the market [...]
I did a quick sweep of the Halston & Halston Heritage sample sale this morning. I must say there a plenty of bargains, especially with items from the label’s more affordable line – Halston Heritage. Many more deals this time around than previous sales. That’s what I focused on. In the front room are [...]
