Rena Lange Samples Sale

If you are a fan of the Rena Lange, then definitely go to this sale at their meatpacking district studio.  If you have not heard of this German based label, then look it up, you may be a fan! There are some beautiful pieces that are all very wearable, yet elegant, and look “designer”, or as Michael Kors loves to say on Project Runway, “expensive.” They are selling this season’s clothing at wholesale prices.  Spring and Summer at 50% off wholesale.  2009 are 70% off.  2008 are 80% off.   Be warned that 2008’s are mostly sizes 8 and above.
There are about three full racks of clothing from this season, and then about one rack for earlier seasons.  There are a few gems in there.  Yet, this is an expensive label.  With retail prices at about $2000 for pieces, even wholesale is not that inexpensive.  If you are looking for a crazy bargain, you will not be able to find very much unless you want to spend at least $100.  I did not see any samples in the clothing, although I must admit I did not ask, but it did not look like there were any.  There were some beautiful cardigans and suit coats in the offerings, and so, if you want a quality cardigan, and want to spend the money, here, you will get a deal.  There were also a few gowns, but most of them in sizes 8 and up. I did find one casual dress I really liked, but I did not want to pay $200 for it.
The accessories were limited (about 10 belts and 20 pairs of shoes), but here is where the super bargains were.  Lovely belts for $40, boots for $50, and pumps for $20.  Unfortunately, as is often the case, these are the runway pairs, so they have been worn during the shows. Of course, they run from 8.5-10. Ankle booties that retail for $599, are a steal here! Even on ebay they are $199!  I bought one pair of shoes and one boot.  
The sale was very well organized and the staff very helpful.  There were only a handful of people there when I went at about 4pm.  It is a nice shopping experience if that is important to you. Summary: Go if you want to spend a few hundred dollars on some classic pieces you will keep for a while, or if you want a pair of runway shoes for a steal, before they sell out!
