First, be prepared to wait at least 2 hrs to get in at the Jil Sander Sample Sale. I waited 3. With the line curving past the end of the block, about 30 people are allowed in every hour and shoppers have 60 minutes to shop. Coat and bag check in effect. At the 2hr mark of being on the line a Cantonese celebrity emerged from 5 Crosby (I asked when some Asian ladies ahead of me began staring across the street and gesturing towards the guy)

There were a selection of shoes; boots, heels, flats, etc, most averaging just $35. However, not many sizes left. There were also a few hand handbags for the taking.

I was intrigued by the collection of skirts (mainly silk) in pretty colors and patterns/prints. There were also a number of silk dresses in similar colors as the skirts. It is important to note that this sale featured lots of small sizes.

There were quite a few long sleeve button down shirts as well as winter coats. There was a large table with sweaters and cardigans of different discount rates.

Overall there was a nice mix of color, black and neutrals. Most items are 80-85% off, with a few items being 90% off. This sale also features men’s items so grab your significant other and make it a his and hers shopping spree,  if you’re up for the wait.

Holy Sample Sale! This week, the sale season is in full bloom with an ample selection of top-notch sales, fit for every shopping palette. After weeks of mediocre lineups, April brings us more sample sales than we can even make time for! Considering this week’s sale buffet, take time to select the sales worth your while and prioritize! In this case, if you have spare time by the end of the week, you can always pop into the final days of the lower priority sales on your agenda. This week, don’t miss James Perse, Jil Sander, Lauren Merkin, White + Warren and Vivienne Tam.

TUESDAY: James Perse Sample Sale

On Tuesday, James Perse brings us up to 90% off his minimalist style and luxurious coziness during his sample sale on 260 Fifth Ave. During past sales, the casual brand offered tanks for $10, tees for $15, dresses for $25, and jackets for $50. The best part about this sale is their consistent restocking, so don’t fret if you’re not among the first in line!

TUESDAY: Jil Sander Sample Sale

SoHo plays host to the Jil Sander Sample Sale, where 80-85% will be deducted from ready-to-wear, footwear, handbags and accessories. This contemporary yet stylish brand is perfect for workingwomen who want to add a bit of luxurious edge to their monotonous days. Past sales have featured popular designs for around $300 on average.

TUESDAY: Lauren Merkin Sample Sale

Lauren Merkin’s fabulous clutches will be on sale for around $100 during Tuesday’s sample sale. Apart from gunmetal looks for $125 and pearlized styles for $95, there will be a $20 bargain bin chock full of Merkin’s gorgeous accessories. Get ready to sort through those bad boys! Last year’s Lauren Merkin Sample Sale offered perforated-leather clutches for $125 (orig. $275) and calfskin satchels for $250 (orig. $525).

WEDNESDAY: Vivienne Tam Sample Sale

Vivienne Tam’s high quality and distinct clothing will be priced between $20-$300 during her sample sale on 39^th Street. Her clean lines and interesting designs are certain to draw attention this spring. During past sales, archival samples were available for as low as $30.

THURSDAY: White + Warren Sample Sale

Luxuriously soft, abundant comfort and casually cool are the words that come to mind when thinking about the White + Warren Sample Sale. Thursday marks the start of the sale in Midtown, with cashmere sweaters for as low as $100, tees for $30 and samples for as low as $15. Last year, the sale drew in fair crowds who sorted through numerous cashmere sweaters that were marked for $40, which were restocked as the sale went on.

FRIDAY: Last Looks

Utilize your Friday to pay a visit to the sales you’ve neglected throughout the week. Don’t miss out on the True Religion Friends & Family Sale, where 25% will be taken off of their popular jeans, Jill Platner Jewelry Sample Sale for 20% off one of a kind items, Cinzia Rocca Sample Sale for 70% off retail price on spring coats and a buy one get one half off deal, and the Beirn Handbag Sample Sale to score a unique water-snake skin satchel.

Now that you’ve cleaned out your closets, this week leaves you no room for the age-old complaint, “I have nothing to wear!”
