Herve Leger

Few things can get me giddier than a good sample sale and Rent the Runway sample sale did just that. It also made me do some damage to my credit card, but I guess it is the hazard of the trade.

So, let’s recap what we’ve learned today:

• • You can’t beat the prices at this sample sale, even if you compare them to second hand prices for identical items. We actually made the comparison for several items.
• • It helps the search if you are familiar with Rent the Runway inventory
• • A huge selection and somehow overstocked racked makes it rather hard to browse
• • Majority of items are appropriate for weddings, cocktail parties, work events, few for daywear
• • Organization and customer service are premium, dressing space will probably get crowded
• • Designers are too many to count. Herve Leger, Opening Ceremony, Tory Burch, Diane Von Furstenberg, Nicole Miller, Temperley London are just few of them.
• • Don’t miss the yellow stickers, there are quite a few marked damaged items
• • This is not one of those sample sales that get their inventory replenished. Get there sooner rather than later.
