RAOUL

From luxury lingerie at La Perla to cozy cashmere at Inhabit, from must-have ready-to-wear at Maison Margiela to a plethora of accessories at Derek Lam, this week’s roundup of Don’t Miss Sample Sales has a little something for everyone.

We recommend focusing your shopping adventures to two primary categories: holiday gift giving, which is right around the corner, and fall/winter merchandise that’ll keep you looking sharp at the office, on the street or at all your upcoming soirees.
