Misha Nonoo Sample Sale Review

30 June 2015

Hurry to the Misha Nonoo sample sale to grab current season designs for a fraction of the retail price. The small showroom has six full racks of fun and playful merchandise—but get there sooner than later; it’s going fast!

If you start with the racks on the left you’ll find three racks of stock merchandise. The first rack is devoted to $100 spring dresses; soft, painterly pastels have a strong showing, as do crisp, white shirt-dresses. The next two racks hold a mixture of $50 tops, and $75 sweaters and skirts. There are no stock pants or jackets. Many tops have the same pastel motif seen on the dresses, and there is an abundance of sweaters with sheer panelling.

The first sample rack is filled with $50-$60 tops and $60-$70 sweaters. The samples appear to be dominated by pieces for the Fall/Winter collection, and, as such, have a darker palette. The next rack is filled with $200 leather jackets and $275 fur coats as well as a few $90-$100 dresses. The final sample rack has $70 to $80 skirts and $80 pants.

There is also a bin of seven or eight pairs of pastel Manolos. The sizes range from a 36 to a 42, but most are on the bigger side. Most pairs have moderate wear and tear, but could probably be spiffed up by a good shoe repairman. There is a single pair of white Adidas Orions in a size 7.5; it comes in its box and is in pristine condition, but similar styles can be found online for cheaper. All shoes are $80.

They will not be restocking the sale throughout the week. The sample prices will be marked down on the last day, but the staff warned that the racks are likely to be picked over by that point. The sale runs through Wednesday, July 1st.
