Retail Crazy

After a feeble Christmas season, most retailers are continuing to slash prices in to the New Year. Just walking to work I’ve notice Banana Republic, Ann Taylor and Sax all have sale signs up. Almost every store is having 50-60% off sales right now, so just hit up any of your favorite brands or department stores and you should find deals.

I've noticed that alot of retailers are trying to clear stock by bundling. Rember it's not a deal if it's something you don't need. The real savings are on indvidual marked down items, not sets that load you up with 'free' or discounted junk.

It is worth noting Victoria’s Secret semi-annual sale starts today. You should be able to find bargains at any of their many locations.

Sample sales have begun to ebb, but retail vedors are picking up the slack

Thomas Pink 40% off, most of the shirts are now 89$, but if you dig around you can get some lucky finds at 29-39. Because the lines fitted button downs are timeless, it dosen’t matter if they are a few seasons out of date. Sale at all NY Thomas Pink locations.

A diffrent look book


Internationally recognized fashion photographer Robert Maxwell has an interesting collection on the Times web site this week called The Originals. It features a selection of Japanese art and design heavy weights like Takashi Murakami. Each photo is paired with a short bio and voice interview.

Check it out at: The Orginals

tight market

I checked out the purse sale that was mentioned on Good Day New York. It was made up of a number of different dealers each with there own both; some were selling samples some vintage many were doing both.

Channel clutches stared at 400$, and purses started at 1,200$ Fendi bags started around 500$, and most items we’re approximately 50% -60% off. While these aren’t bad prices the retail market is quite aggressive and these prices aren’t competitive with in store prices. There isn’t a compelling reason to go to sample sale to get a Fendi purse for 500$, when you can order it for the same price from Barney’s 60 % off sale barneys.com

There are 100$ and 200$ ‘bargain’ bins for vintage items with more wear on them. This sale may be worth checking out if you are looking to buy a channel purse and you are disappointed by the limited selection of most department stores. However if your not already looking but these small discounts don’t give you a reason to buy.

A tale of two bag sales

So the Hype/London Fog/Rampage/Bill Bass and the Badgley/Mischka/Cynthia Rowley sample sales are in the same building.

There are also plenty of other bag sales going on this week, but the Hype/Fog has lots of stock a deep discounts make it the sale to go to.

When I went all Hype bags we’re 60$, London fog was 50$ and Rampage was 20$ unless marked lower. The pricing structure isn’t always that generous; they slash prices if sales slow. But lighting can strike twice, so if you’re looking for steals check this sale on the last day, that’s when they are most likely to be unloading stock.

At any other time expect Rampage purses to go for 30-40$, Hype bags 60% off, London fog at 50%-70%, and Bill Bass half price.

There are lots of rummage bins with 5$ steals, and clutches are very reasonable ranging from 5-40$. Samples are very cheap, London fog 2 for 40$, other brands 10-25$ each.

The Badgley/Mischka/Cynthia Rowley sample sale is open latter, so you can stop by the 6th floor on the way out. The product is nice, but the pricing is much less competive with bags 50% off. Clutches start at 45-75$ depending on brand, purses start at 150$-200$ and range up from there.

Tip from a friend

Perhaps despairing of the fact that I’m still dragging around a one of last years huge slouchy sack purses instead of one of this years architectural mini’s a friend of mine clued me in on LeSportsac’s Sample sale ending today. Offering 60-80% off past and current seasons including the Stella McCarthy line.

LeSportSac
Dec 10
Metropolitan Pavilion 123 W 18th St

safe bets, but no steals

Alice and Olivia a so-so sample sale. Prices at the sale we’re as follows:

Shirts 49$
Skirts 59$
Sweaters 69$
Pants 69$
Dresses 99-129$
Blazers 109$
Coats 149$
Leather Jackets 169$

These are fairish prices on Alice and Olivia, but not inspiring. If you like Alice and Olivia you will probably enjoy the brightly colored cocktail baby-dolls and 80’s high lighter leggings. There were pices I liked, but nothing I felt overwheminly compeled by. There are more subdued pants suitable for work and well cut available in sizes 0-12, and over all there are plenty of items in each size.

It is worth noting that they had a small number of shoes and purses from the Alice and Olivia for payless line priced at 10$ and 25$ respectively.
Prices for Alice and Olivia are lower then they will be at DVF or Westwood sales but it doesn’t boast the steals you might find at Alice and Trixie. In the end A&O is a good compromise but nobodies favorite.

all that glitters

The highlight of the Noir sale is defiantly the trays of cocktail rings, ranging from ostentatious to ridiculous; these chunky ultra fake conversations starters don’t take them selves to seriously. They vary in size from large to unwearable, the smallest of which are slightly cumbersome the largest might be mistaken for a rhine stoned satellite array. If the full on crystal emblazoned parrot statue ring isn’t for you, there’s blinged up Kentith J Lane enamel in every color, a lot of retro 70’s stuff and even a couple of cheap Victorian pendants. Prices on rings go from 15$ -45$ with the most wearable items settling at 25$.

wrap up

148 Lafayette sample sale was mildly disappointing. There are defiantly some well priced gems in there, but be prepared to sift through racks and racks of disorganized unappealing clothes. Knits are 25-30$, dresses are 60$, Jackets are 60-80$.

If Piffif is the sale for full figured women then Arakas perfect place for tiny tops. It also sports 15$ bras but only in sizes 32 A-C. It’s right around the corner from the 148 sale and a lot more inviting once you get past the rickety elevator.

There's still time

The kid robot sample sale was pretty disappointing. It was more clothes then toys and more t-shirts then anything. 25$ KR t-shirts are a sort of good buy if you need a very ‘senster now’ graphic t. Their hoodies are down to 80$, from 150$. They are very cute and hip but the quality and detailing are lower then an Ecco cut sew hoodie at the same price point.


If you are a full figured lady make sure you get to the Pfiff lingerie sale either today or tomorrow. As previously mentioned Bras are 15$, Panties are 9$ and camisoles are 18$. They’ve been cleaned out of the common sizes, but they have tons of selection in the DD-F cups, a hard size to shop for. They carry in sizes 32-38 so you’ve got plenty of options.

busy week

Vivienne Tam had a good selection of items in sizes 0-10, I fit her 10 if the cut is generous or the fabric is stretchy otherwise they are a little small in the chest. There are plenty of full skirts so hips shouldn’t be an issue.

Previous seasons stock and samples are 80-95$ for dresses an excellent value if you chose a classic style. If your on a budget embellished t-shirts are 20$ and knits are 40$. This season is 120-180 depending on the dress.

They do provide mirrors but no dressing area, this is not a sale for the shy.
