We live by luxe for less, so we’re loving sample sale season!
…even if we’re standing in so many lines that NYC is starting to feel like Disney World with pigeons.
Yeah, that’s not tourists organized into convenient rows to people-watch. That’s La Perla at the opening of their summer 2014 sample sale - and yes, we were there.
The line formed on both sides of the sidewalk, but was surprisingly well organized (the sale was excellently staffed) and moved pretty quickly.
People were pretty much in and out of there, grabbing all the reduced price designer lingerie, swimwear, and accessories that appealed to them, so the line wasn’t as long as it looked.
While many chose to steer clear of the silk whips and other more daring pieces, there were plenty of couture temptations to go around.
The silk robes were reduced to $80 and, while a few were damaged, a lot of the pieces were in great condition! There were also bras and panties in bulk, as well as some super chic swimsuits.
All in all, a great way to justify a designer wardrobe - getting high quality couture for the same price as Victoria’s Secret can’t be beat!
