Here’s everything you need to know about the Retrofete sample sale. The sample sale was busy this morning, with shoppers waiting on line eagerly for the doors to open. The room was fillled with sparkly sequins on every single item! There were so many beautiful pieces! While there were a number of items for each style, there were only a few Gabriella robe dresses, one of the most popular styles Refrofete carries.…

Bags Galore at the Rebecca Minkoff Sample Sale
By: Riva Neumann In the three months that I’ve been shopping sample sales, the Rebecca Minkoff Sample Sale has been by far my favorite one. The discounts were really great, so great that I bought myself not 1, not 2, but 3 (!!) bags that I truly could not live without. The sale itself was super-crowded and the line wrapped around the block (as per usual with 260 Sample Sale)…

Vince is the Highlight of the Prive Sample Sale
We gave the Prive sample sale a 6 out of 10. Here’s why. We loved that they had modern collection Vince shoes and tops, that they had stuff for men and women, that the space was pleasant as it always is in Chelsea Market. We weren’t thrilled about the pricing or the other items at the sale. Setting and Merchandise: The layout was the usual for Chelsea Market. The right side…

Kokun Cashmere Sample Sale – Only 3 Racks of Sweaters
This Kokun cashmere sample sale was not one of the best. We love the sample sale at the beginning of winter, when we’re excited for sweater weather and to buy some fresh pieces for the new season. It’s tough to excite people about a sweater sample sale in May, let alone one with few items. Setup and Merchandise: There were only 3 racks of clothing at the sale – so not…

The Nancy Gonzalez Sample Sale has Stunning Merchandise
By: Jacqueline Munro The handbags at the Nancy Gonzalez sample sale are outrageously beautiful, but also outrageously priced. Given that the bags are all made of 100% genuine crocodile, I understand why they are so expensive, but the price tags still hurt my heart a little bit. At this sample sale, the bags range from 55% to 70% off, which is good. But considering the fact that it is a…

If you shop for your man at high-end Italian boutiques and are used to the price tags, this sample sale will be your heaven.

Be Prepared to Spend at the Wolford Sample Sale
By: Riva Neumann The Wolford Sample Sale is your typical 260 sample sale, minus the long line to get in and the crowds. When I went at around 4:30pm, there was no line to get in and the crowd was minimal, making shopping much easier. The sale was a bit pricey ( $75 for a scarf?) but the selection of product was really good . I loved that there was…

Karen Millen Sample Sale is Disappointing As Usual
The Karen Millen sample sale at Clothingline is one we think of as a recurring sale – we literally haven’t seen a month pass without Clothingline announcing yet another Karen Millen sample sale. As one would expect, there isn’t enough fresh merchandise to go around so frequently. As a result, the shopper ends up with the same old merchandise that has been packed and unpacked a few dozen times, has…

Cushnie Sample Sale is Perfect if You Want to Look Like You Walked Out of Vogue
This Cushnie sample sale was a success – extremely cutting-edge fashion items for very reasonable prices. Cushnie sample sale gets a solid 8 out of 10. Here’s why. Merchandise: There were plenty of racks to choose from – and they were filled with jackets, blazers, dresses, jumpsuits, tops, athleisure, furs and bottoms. There was a section with pointy shoes and shelves with clutches as well. Pricing: All RTW was between 85% and…
