Sample Sales NYC; Designer Sample Sale Listings & Fashion Reviews by Sample Sally
Elbowing our way through sample sales so you don't have to...
As we mentioned yesterday… the Shoe-Inn Warehouse Sale is taking place through this Monday in the Garment District. Discount Di who was looking for a pair of boots checked it out yesterday after work. Here’s what she found:
“I stopped into the Shoe-Inn warehouse sale at Gotham Hall and was really pleased at the selection. I had my eye out for some flat leather boots and the tables were full of them ranging in price from $50 to $150.
Two popular sample sales top the list of our week’s roundup… DVF and Tory Burch.

Here’s our chance to shop for a great cause! Just today (Friday), the Metropolitan Pavilion has opened its doors for a charity sample sale (Fashion For Sandy Relief), which will benefit the recovery efforts from Hurricane Sandy. I didn’t have much time this morning, but I did make a quick stop during the preview before they opened the doors to the public. Inside, you’ll find all sorts of apparel and accessories (includes handbags & shoes) at 60% off retail.
A sample sale to benefit Sandy relief efforts… it’s tomorrow (Friday) at the Metropolitan Pavilion. The Tory Burch Foundation teamed up with the Council of Fashion Designers of America and Vogue for what’s being called Fashion For Sandy Relief. A long list of designers are offering pieces from their collections at 50% off retail.
As promised, we finally finished editing that video we shot Wednesday night of the Housing Works Fashion for Action charity benefit. With the Nor’easter dropping gobs of slushy snow into The City, I had to sweet talk The Mister into shooting the event. Check out his handy work above.
Through the weekend, you can shop for a cause at the Housing Works thrift shop in Chelsea where you’ll find 250 designer brands sold at charitable prices. Last night, we attended the benefit reception at the Altman Building. Despite the storm, Fashion for Action’s co-chair Patricia Clarkson and other celebs turned out to give their support. We shot video of the event, which we’ll post later today…
In the meantime, Fashionable Femme Jen was on hand to give us the lowdown on the shopping:
Snow didn’t stop stylists, celebrities and shoppers from turning out for tonight’s Fashion for Action charity fundraiser and sale preview event. Shoppers sip on cocktails and munch on hors d’oeuvres while browsing discounted designer items. Money raised will go to help New Yorkers living with AIDS. As an added bonus, 20% of the proceeds will benefit those affected by Hurricane Sandy.
Word is…
