A phenomenon exists in New York City - that of the sample sale. Last week, I made a quick trip to 57th street to celebrate a national Manhattan holiday - The Tory Burch Sample Sale.
As a PR intern, I work exclusively with samples. When a magazine requests merchandise for a specific story, the PR specialists and I choose clothing and accessories from an extensive sample closet. When seasons pass and samples are no longer relevant to editorial stories, the samples are purged from our closet. Thus emerges the phenomenon of the sample sale - an opportunity for women far and wide to purchase bags, shoes, clothes and other pretty things for 30-70% off...
Last week, I ventured to 57th street to experience my first Sample Sale. I added to my rather small - but fast expanding - collection of Tory Burch. I purchased a canvas carry-all in mustard and grey. I sported it all weekend and have continued to tote it throughout my work week.
THEN, imagine my delight when I was able to attend a Camuto Group sample sale few short days later. Whether or not my bank account was prepared for another marathon sample-sale-snagging, I walked away with 3 Camuto Group products - shoes from Tory, crossbody from Giani Bini and never produced clutch from Vince.
How I love quality purchases and how I ADORE New York City shopping!
