Loro Piana Sample Sale Review 4/12

2
12 April 2011

Maybe we just don’t get ultra high-end sample sale space Soiffer Haskin, but it seems to us that at a sample sale, it shouldn’t be possible to pay $1350 for a baby-size shearling coat. And yet! That’s just one of the dubious bargains available at the Loro Piana sale.

Make no mistake: everything here is lovely. We have rarely touched anything softer than a baby cashmere thin cable-knit sweater, but that doesn’t mean we want to pay $595 for the privilege, even if it is marked down from $1195. A silk/cashmere blend scarf is lighter than air and festively printed, but really? $1085? More than a thousand dollars? On sale? No, thank you.

Matters don’t get better in clothing. A striped dress in oranges and greens is perfect for fall and sophisticated in satin, but at $2265 (from $3775), it’s not exactly a bargain. Even the most basic cashmere sweaters, indistinguishable from what you’d find at Banana Republic, are priced in the $400s. That’s still better, however, than the striped polo shirts ($390 from $650), which are indistinguishable from what you’d find at American Eagle.

The best deals might be in the accessories section: an amazing roomy aubergine tote is $2205 (from $3150), which isn’t terrible. A pair of would make a luxurious winter gift and at $285, won’t totally break the bank. Overall, though, no need to hit this one unless you’re packing some serious cash.

WHEN: 4/10 – 4/14, Sun-W (9-6:30), Th (9-5)

WHERE: Soiffer Haskin.

    Just heard from them, it looks like they lowered the price. Still, don’t expect to get anything for cheap, it is Loro Piana after all

    Just went today, they reduced , however women’s cashmere sweaters are still only 50 off.. They had a nice selection of jackets for reasonable prices ? (900-1200) only in bigger sizer.. Overall, its still expensive, and unless you love Loro Piana and were willing to buy the items full price, I suggest you skip it!
