SAMPLE CIRCUIT: The Sale Season Lives On With Tory Burch & La Garçonne

By all reason, the Sample Sale season should be pretty much dead at this point, but it doggedly chugs along as designers and retail take advantage of the lack of competition to empty their warehouses secure in the knowledge that there are always sale shoppers looking for a bargain.
Early reports have those shoppers lined up outside the Metropolitan Pavilion this morning for a special TORY BURCH Charity Sale that runs through tomorrow the 29th. The current Spring and Summer collections are advertised and 100% of the proceeds are promised to the Tory Burch Foundation supporting economic empowerment of women and families.

Downtown at 260SampleSale's continuously busy Wooster Street location, Fivestory has moved on after last week's blowout to make way for racy lingerie  and erotica brand KIKI de MONTPARNASSE who will be in residence there through Saturday the 1st of August. Obviously, the kids should be left at home for this one.

Tomorrow the 29th is when popular contemporary designer VIVIENNE TAM will take three days to offer up to 80% off her back stock and samples in the Garment District.

Finally, on Thursday, online retailer LA GARÇONNE will take over a Wooster Street space in SoHo through the weekend for a final clearance of men's and women's luxury and emerging designer clothing, shoe and accessory collections. We aren't terribly familiar with this sale, but a quick browse through the website includes designers like Comme des Garçons, Proenza Schouler, Rick Owens J.W.Anderson and much more. It looks like it is definitely worth checking out of you you haven't been completely shipped out by now.

Next week looks pretty quiet, so you may want to give you wallet a rest, although Badgley Mischka has just approved on the schedule and there are probably a few more to follow so stay tuned and keep an eye on our SALE ROLL sidebar at left for details and updated schedules of current sales.
