I swung by the DVF sample sale on 5th ave. today hoping that they have further slashed their prices and as expected they did! Given the chilly weather, people were relentless and waiting outside but the good thing was that the line wasn't that long and moving at a decent pace. I would say max 20 minutes of wait or less and you are checking your coat and bag to the left.
Now inside, there were a lot of people, hangers going every which way. You have to be careful, people are so busy picking stuff that they might just poke you with the hanger and they won't even know (Sad- I know what designer discounts can do to you). Now apart from all the mayhem, the current prices are as stated below and there is still a lot of goodies you can find. There were plenty of dresses ($100- not that many wraps), not that many tops ($60) either, a lot of crop purple wool jackets - no one seems to want them ($90) and accessories such as laptop cover ($40- great gift idea), clutches ($30), and Bags ($170) were plenty. There was a section of sample/damages where people were finding a lot of decent stuff such as dresses and tops which were all for $30. Other than that people were hoarding around like usual and if you are trying things on, you have only 10 minutes in the fitting room. There is this small Latin american woman directing/guarding the fitting room line (she is there every DVF sample sale) if you are thinking of sneaking in, don't even think about it, you won't get around her.
Tomorrow is the last day and chances are they will double slash prices - like dresses will become $80 and tops will become $40. So hurry, I'm sure you will find something.
*FRIENDLY TIP* Go early in the morning that is when they are most organized and you can find better stuff that way. Other than that Happy Holidays Shopping!
