Yet Another J.Crew Sample Sale…

The revolving sample sale spot in Midtown, Clothingline, is hosting yet another J.Crew sample sale…This one offers plenty of sweaters (wool and cashmere).  There were tons hanging on the racks in the main room.  Be prepared to spend time going through the racks.  The merchandise is organized by style but the sizes are mixed in.  I spotted mostly sample sizes (4 and 6).  But if you look hard enough, you’ll find smaller and larger sizes mixed in.  Cashmere sweaters are starting at $50 (for short-sleeved and sleeveless).  Wool sweaters, shirts and cotton tops are $35.

Also on offer are dresses (including party dresses $90 or 2 for $150 and long silk dresses for $125).  You’ll also find wool outerwear ($149) – they’re hanging on a rack in the back.  There’s a limited selecion of jackets and blazers ($70).  There are a number of racks of pants and skirts starting at $30.  As for footwear, there’s only a table of what look like rejects from past sales (shoes & boots are $99 or 2 for $150).  In terms of other accessories, you’ll find bins of scarves and a glass case of jewelry.  The selection for men is very limited – almost non-existent.  Just one rack of shirts and a few coats.  Sale goes through this Friday.

Step into the J.Crew Sample Sale in the Garment District

Clothingline is hosting a J.Crew sample sale this week on footwear and accessories.  The sale, which started yesterday, is fairly organized with racks of footwear arranged by size.  There’s a lot on offer for both women (sizes 5-12) and men (sizes 7-13) from current and previous collections.  I spotted ballet flats and driving mocs ($65), strappy heels ($99), peep-toe platform booties ($105), ankle boots ($105), tall boots ($140), collection shoes ($150) and more.  There were also accessories (jewelry, scarves and gloves) but I didn’t have enough time to check out those items.

J.Crew Sample Sale Again… Too Much of a Good Thing?

Yet another J.Crew sample sale is being held at Clothingline in the Garment District.  There have been so many in the past months that I can no longer keep track.  Our sale shopping pal, Artsy Anna, stopped into the space this afternoon to scope out the scene.  Anna did not find the deals or the offerings enticing at all.  Here’s what she had to say:

I left empty handed and uninspired.   There was a time when I couldn’t imagine thinking those words for I’ve been a J.Crew customer for almost 15 years.  I recall one J.Crew warehouse sale back in 2002 where I bought enough to fill 6 heaping shopping bags.  I was excited when J.Crew had their first New York sale last year.  But now, I’m tired of it–tired of the same merchandise at mediocre markdowns season after season.   I’m beginning to get fed up with Clothingline’s terrible service and ridiculously rigid policies.  And I’m not alone.  Today’s turnout may be a sign that other shoppers have had enough of the J Crew x Clothingline collab.   Usually, I find a healthy crowd during the after work rush. But not today–unlike recent sales, there were absolutely no lines; not for entry, bag check or cash registers.

Overstock & Samples at J.Crew… More for Men than Women
