The first markdowns at the Barneys Warehouse Sale has already started… I found out tonight when I popped into the space in Chelsea. A staffer told me that they began offering further discounts on Sunday when they were open for four hours after Hurricane Irene moved north.  Through this Sunday, Tibi is hosting a swimwear sample sale online. There’s plenty of summer left and if you’re looking to update your beachwear, check it out. We found tons of two-pieces, one-pieces, coverups and beach dresses in the label’s iconic prints and solids.
At up to 60-percent off the retail [...]
Yesterday, Barneys began it’s final reductions for the summer before its Warehouse Sale which is due to take place next month… Sale prices for selected items have now been slashed down to 75 percent off retail. Yesterday, I checked out the store on Madison Avenue to find out what was left since not everything is online. I concentrated on shoes and handbags because a girl can’t get enough of both…at least this girl!
The legendary Italian lingerie label La Perla is known for its well-made sexy lacy lingerie. If you own a few pieces, you’ll know that it’s well worth the high-end price. But why pay retail when you can stock up at the brand’s sample sale which runs through this Thursday. The sale started on Sunday when I was expecting a massive line but was surprised to find a fairly manageable sale. Not as crowded as previous sales.
Another big sale to hit today is the Mara Hoffman sample sale in Nolita. While waiting in line at the register, one of our readers just sent us her review and a photos (including one of the $5 swimsuit bin). “P” tells us she took the day off to go to this sale. If you’re a fan of the brand, you should head over there quickly. She reports that bargains are going fast and many pieces are already picked over:
The Diane von Furstenberg sample sale opens to the public tomorrow. This morning, the sale’s preview kicked off with a handful of the label’s “friends & family” waiting in line just after 9am. If you want to try your luck today, be warned: sale organizers were checking a list when I stopped in this morning. However, in the past, they have allowed anyone to come in later in the day…
Like in the past, the sale offers a wide selection of goods:Â regular dresses and jackets ($125); wrap & vintage dresses ($150); sweaters, blouses, skirts & pants ($80); scarves are $65 (check out our gallery of photos which includes the full price list).
Just in time for the summer days at the beach, the luxury men’s swimwear label, Robinson Les Bains is hosting a sample sale which ends today at 6pm. Since today is the last day, they’ve slashed sale prices. Here’s examples of what you can find: the swimShort Oxford is now $90 (was $320), the swimShort Cambridge is now $60 (was $245), and the swimBrief Yale is now $40 (was $140). The folks at the sale sent us photos… check them out and swing by if you’re in the market for swim trunks. You only have a few hours…
I don’t know about you, but it’s been really tough trying to keep up with all the sample sales this week.  Another one worth checking out this weekend is the VPL sample sale where designer Victoria Bartlett’s coveted underthings and luxe RTW are discounted up to 75 percent off.  The Fashionhaus Showroom is hosting a sample and stock sale this week, featuring pieces from high-end designers such as Matthew Ames, By Malene Birger, Rene Lezard, Allude Cashmere and more at up to 75-percent off retail. We stopped in on Friday and got a peek at what will be up for grabs starting this [...]
At this point, many of you have already read Racked and Mizhattan’s reviews of the Jil Sander sale, which was suppose to be ‘invitation only.’ At least that’s what the invitation said when they emailed them last week, informing those on the list about the 9-day sale which started yesterday. I breezed in just after 10am (no line) Wednesday morning and the security guard did check to see if I had an invitation (which I did). Reportedly, they stopped checking invitations later in the day. Not long after I got in, a line had formed outside the label’s showroom on Crosby Street near Howard. A friend was waiting in line reporting that they were only letting in a couple of folks at a time – an excruciating wait for her and others.
While inside, I didn’t have much time so I focused on the handbags and footwear. Since most of the clothing appeared to be pieces from the label’s fall collection (coats, jackets, wool pants and sweaters), I decided not to waste my time looking through the racks. Almost everything at the sale is 80 percent off the retail price. There are some previous season clothing and footwear that are going for 90 percent off the tagged price.
