Sunner Sample Sale…Cheap Samples, Coats, Silk Tops & Dresses

The Sunner sample sale offers some deals on actual samples and what appears to be past season merchandise.  If you’ve ever been to this sale, you’ll know how small the Garment District space is… But this afternoon, it wasn’t busy at all.  Unlike previous sales, no crowds.  Good thing since there’s only one mirror set up against a wall where you can try things on.

Let’s start with the warm weather wear since it was freezing out today…All coats are $75, jackets are $60 and blazers $50.  There’s a limited selection of wool coats, capes and jackets (many of them were samples – size 4 or 6) – a few one-of-a-kinds.  Many of the coats were wrinkled but a trip to the dry cleaners might make them look good as new.  One customer was considering the Endeavor coat in taupe (now $75, retailed for $410).  I didn’t see anything I liked.

Sale Update: Tory Burch Sample Sale, Early Opening & Tons of Merch

Sample Sale Diva returned to the Tory Burch sample sale in the Garment District around 4:30pm Wednesday afternoon.  She wasn’t disappointed… picking up a few things.  From her photos, you can tell there’s tons of merchandise (clothing and accessories, including shoes and handbags).  Here’s The Diva’s report:

There was virtually no one there when I arrived but it started getting very busy when I left after 5pm.  It was an awesome sale. The most beautiful Tory Burch ever. There are some stunning dresses just in time for the Holiday party season…  I stuck to T-shirts, getting the classic Tory Burch shirt with red and blue embellished logo and a beautiful embellished heart tee. I bought a gorgeous sequin black dress for my sister that retails for $695. My damage was $368. I didn’t care for the handbag and shoe selection but as far as the clothes go – they were great.
