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.
