SAMPLE MADNESS RETURNS

Another week of crazy sample sales are happening in the city. Given that I have school and full time job, it's hard to make time to hit all the sample sales in the city. However, here are the inside report from our fellow bloggers who were the first one on the scene to report us on what to expect from these few sales.


ESCADA SAMPLE SALE: Gems can be found!

WhERE: 110 W. 19th St. (The Metropolitan Pavilion - North)
(btwn. 6th & 7th Ave.) New York, NY 10011

WHEN: 3/24/11-3/27/11

TIPS: As reported by our fellow blogger, SampleSally who quoted another blogger, the sale ranges from different color tags that represent different discount percentages. Shoes are around $100 and fragrances are around $20 (thats a steal). Also, I'm sure with a brand like Escada, you'll surely be able to score a deal somehow and somewhere.

HERMES: Lack Luster

WHERE:  317 W. 33rd St between Eighth and Ninth Avenues 

WHEN: Wednesday, March 23 to Sunday, March 27
TIME: Wed 9am- 6pm, Thurs 9am - 8pm, Fri and Sat 9am - 6pm, Sun 1pm - 5pm. 

TIPS: Mostly people believe that this year sale has been a colossal disappointment. However, there still is a selection of scarves that are going for $200 or more, a few pair of gloves and racks of ties. There were other goods like belts and shoes but as Madisonavespy reported, they were less than desirable. So I would advise that instead wasting your time in this really spring-snowy weather, invest your time in perhaps, D & G sample sale.

Dolce & Gabbana : Always exciting especially when the prices are slashed!

WHERE: Metropolitan Pavilion, 123 W 18th st., 4th Floor

WHEN: March 24 - March 27

TIME: Thurs 9-7, Fri & Sat: 9-6, Sun: 9-1pm

TIPS: Mizhattan has given some insider details on what to expect. There are dresses and jackets that are still pricey even with the discount. There are some pair of shoes left with sizes 39 and above that are ranging $100 and upwards. Like always, there is always a price cut near the end of the sale, so i would just to wait till saturday to shop when they slash more prices and increase the discount.
