Sample Sales NYC; Designer Sample Sale Listings & Fashion Reviews by Sample Sally
Elbowing our way through sample sales so you don't have to...
I went into the Lower East Side boutique, Project No. 8, Thursday evening thinking it was just another summer sample sale until I overheard the store manager speaking with one of her customers saying that the shop was closing for good… What a shame. Stores come and go but this one will be missed.
As a final farewell, Project No. 8 is hosting a blowout sale through this Saturday, offering 50 to 90 percent off its goods past and current season.
The Nolita boutique Creatures of Comfort is holding a blowout sale this weekend, offering up to 90 percent off indie faves, including Acne, Christian Wijnants, Rachel Comey, Bernhard Willhelm, Henrik Vibskov, Wren and more… Sample Sale Diva checked out that sale after hitting up the James Perse sale yesterday. Here’s her report:
…I saw so many great stuff there. My favorite was a grey Rick Owens skirt for $140 which I did not purchase but admired from afar. The discounts ranged in different price points. Starting at $15 for Creatures of Comfort tanks. They were inside large boxes along with the Creatures of Comfort tops ($25) and dresses ($35). I also found Zero + Maria Cornejo, VPL, Alexander Wang (also the T line), Zucca, MM6, Rachel Comey. The most expensive that I saw was a Zero + Maria Cornejo shawl tagged at $789. There was alot of Repetto shoes for $120, and I saw these nice VPL boots for $240 (size 41). I ended up getting a VPL top for $45, an MM6 sweater for $92 and VPL undies for $12.
The sale this time around at Project No. 8 was not as good as the one back in August (when we shot video). I came into the boutique before they closed and was disappointed to find just several racks of clothing and a few bins on the floor (contained wool short scarves at $40). The shoe selection was also limited to Maison Martin Margiela shoes (many of which looked like repeats from the summer sale) starting at $80 for pumps to over $300 for shearling booties.
Word is…
