Colico Sample Sale: Deals on Shoes, Sandals and More

 Colico Sample Sale in NYC

Through Sunday, Coclico, is hosting a sample sale in Nolita… Once again, our roving sale reviewer, Fashionable Femme Jen, wandered in. These stylish and comfortable shoes are designed in New York and made in Spain. Jen reports of a great selection of footwear and more with bargains that aren’t amazing but still well worth it:

Walking into the Coclico sample sale likens being devoured by the sassy shoe monster. Behind the bright white sample sale tape is a dimly lit space downstairs that’s devoted to quite a large assortment of shoes, with some clothes and bags thrown in. Boxes and boxes of footwear (shoes, sandals and boots) line the right perimeter of the store, includes other brands such as Rachel Comey. Against the left, a row of boots in varying heights rest on a cabinet where shoes are also on display by size (35-39).  A rolling rack of clothing runs down the middle of the store, leading shoppers to the back where bins of accessories and a final selection of shoes are strewn about the floor.

Tess Giberson Sample Sale: Most Items at $80

Tess Giberson Sample Sale

Deals of 70-85% off merchandise can be had at the Tess Giberson spring sample sale. Fashionable Femme Jen headed into Soho to check out the offerings. They were a hodgepodge of items which Jen just wasn’t impressed with:

Soulful sounds echo through the minimalist sleek Soho boutique, where the Tess Giberson sample sale is being held. Apart from two salespeople (and myself), the store was empty this afternoon. I felt like an intruder as my browsing disturbed the otherwise stagnant racks.  Two private fitting rooms with a 5-item try-on limit are available in the back. Sale pricing is easily visible on round yellow stickers in the middle of each hanger. At least one sales associate is on call to answer questions.

Our Man’s Take on the Diesel Sample Sale

Diesel Sample Sale
The Diesel sample sale is taking place this week in Chelsea… Our man, Larry Label Whore, stopped in today. As he walked in, he wasn’t expecting to find much but he quickly changed his mind after going through the merchandise:

I love Diesel’s sporty and grungy clothes, but when I went to the sample sale I wasn’t expecting much. Boy was I wrong! My advice to all is get yourselves to this sale! While the prices varied from just OK to pretty good, the selection was amazing. There were racks and racks of Diesel and Diesel Brand Gold clothes as well as jackets, belts, sandals, and scarves. However, if you’re a Diesel fan you will die for the selection of shoes. I was in Diesel shoe heaven.

The Jen Kao  sample sale was suppose to kick off today in the Garment District… But, a couple of our readers alerted us about the sale being cancelled. So I checked with the folks at the fashion house this afternoon and they tell us the building owners called off the sale at the last minute.  They told me quote:  “they didn’t want us to hold the sale and pulled the rug from under us.”

If you were hoping to get deals (slated to be up to 50% off wholesale prices) on the designer’s pieces, don’t fret. They’re looking for a new location. Once we get the new date and place, we’ll make sure to let you know…

Cosabella Sample Sale: Deals on Lingerie & Loungewear

 

Looking for lingerie or loungewear? You’re best bet this week is to head over to the Cosabella sample sale in Soho. The sale kicked off yesterday… one of our newest contributors, Fashionable Femme Jen, checked it out.  Jen found lots of underthings, sleepwear and more:

This sale is almost as hidden as the underthings themselves would be—nestled at the back of the store—past the greeter at the door, past the security guard in the black suit, past the sale rack in the back, behind the grey wall, and through the curtained doorway. Sales staff are helpful in getting you to where to go, after an initial few seconds of uncertainty. Just head all the way back!
