SAMPLE CIRCUIT: Late-Breaking Sales Arrive For The Weekend From Costume National, Hood By Air Plus A Hærfest-Craft Atlantic-Naadam Triple Header

As often happens this time of year, what we think will be a quiet Sample Sale weekend can suddenly turn fully packed with bargains. In this case, it was a morning email from the folks at 260 Sample Sale informing us that a very appealing CoSTUME NATIONAL (pictured above) sale would be starting today at 11 AM at their big Wooster Street location in SoHo. The flyer promises a healthy 75% discount on current season merchandise through the weekend which sounds like a can't miss event for fans of the always modern Italian fashion label.

The on-again-off-again HOOD BY AIR sale turned out to be on-again when it started yesterday on Hester Street on the Lower East Side. We hear that the space is extremely small with limited capacity, but there are lots of t-shirts, so fans of the cutting edge streetwear brand might want to prepare themselves for a one-out, one-in kind of line.

Also popping up today at noon on Mulberry Street is a three-label sale from modern accessory brand HÆRFEST, up and coming men's sportswear brand CRAFT ATLANTIC and luxury cashmere resource NAADAM. Each label has its own distinctive appeal, and the sale looks promising.

See our SALE ROLL sidebar at left for locations and other details. Next week, make time for AG Jeans, Elie Tahari and J.Mendel and whatever else appears at the last minute. Shop wisely!
