Sample Sale War: Manolo Blahnik Vs Christian Louboutin

Sample sale scheduling conflicts happen all the time. Today, for example, frugal fashionistas can choose between Emilio Visconti, Nanette Lepore, and Tibi, to name just a few. But rarely does a boo boo take place on the scale of what’s allegedly going down on Thursday: namely, both the Manolo Blahnik and Christian Louboutin sales. What’s a shoe lover to do? First off, keep in mind that this may be just a rumor. Though Manolo is confirmed, Louboutin is not. Furthermore, the Louboutin sale is strictly invite only: if you haven’t RSVPed to your exclusive email and confirmed a time to shop, you’re not going. Spend the day in line at the public Manolo Blahnik sale instead. Bonus: the Manolo sale is generally regarded as a great sample sale and stock is refreshed several times during the day. If the Louboutin sale is actually happening and if you are one of the lucky few with access (and again, these are two very big ifs), you could hit both, strictly speaking: we’d recommend doing Louboutin first, since although both sales are slated to start at 9am, the Manolo sale historically doesn’t open doors until 11am. Whichever way you slice it, you will spend the vast majority of your day waiting in lines, but at the end, you could have several pairs of shoes to show for it.
