Will you be checking out the Club Monaco sale today?
HI LL – I’m not sure we’ll be checking today. Perhaps, later this week. We’ll keep you posted.
how was escada sample sale?
Hi Shelly – We hear that the Escada discounts are now 80-90% off retail. If you’re a fan of the German brand, this would be a good time to go. We’ll probably try to make it there before Thursday’s last day.
Club Monaco sale is not worth it. You can get better deals at the store plus the clothes at Clothingline are always in such bad condition.
Do you know the price range for the escada sample sale?
Hi Mush – I actually stopped into Escada today. Click HERE to see the review. Deals weren’t too bad for knits, tops and pants. Shoes were only $75. But take a look at the write up for more info… hope that helps.
Thanks. Did you see any dresses?
Mush – Yes, I saw dresses… There were quite a few from smaller size 02 up to mediums size 08. Not sure what the selection is like now, tho. Let us know if you end up stopping by there today.
Latest prices at Club Monaco:
tees, sweaters, shirts now $7.50 – $20
shorts, skirts, pants now $10 – $20
dresses now $25
blazers now $40
outerwear now $50
hats, belts, scarves, ties, jewelry now $5
footwear now $10 – $40
How’s the inventory? I might check it out tomorrow…
I couldn’t find anything below a size 8 in a of the skirts/dresses. Nice blazers/dresses though. Diverse selection of tops and cold weather accessories ($5). Reminder No fitting room and not even trying on – security will say something. Also credit cards only!
