The last round of December sample sales in New York City

Okay, people, if you're not done with your holiday shopping yet...well, good luck and godspeed. If you are, thankfully the few sales this week are quite conducive to self-purchasing!

Through 12/21
In case you missed the Adrienne Landau sale earlier, the company is having another fur blowout, with fur jackets, accessories, and home items. 10-6 T, 10-4 W; 519 8th Ave. (35th & 36th Sts.), 21st fl.


Through 12/21
Anna Sheffield's Bing Bang jewelry is one of my all-time favorite lines, and you can score it for 20%-80% off at this sale. Noon-8; 153 Lafayette St. (Grand & Howard Sts.).  

Through 12/21
Miha's ready-to-wear is up to 90% off. 10-7 T, 10-5 W; 330 W. 38th St. (8th & 9th Aves.), ste. 1202.

Through 12/22

Through 12/27
Expect lots of neon, mesh, and other questionable hipster gear at the American Apparel Flea Market, but, hey, it's up to 90% off. 9-9 (closed 12/25); 766 6th Ave (25th & 26th Sts.).

Sample Sale of the Week: Haute Hippie

In parsing the name of the contemporary label Haute Hippie, I'd say the line is definitely more haute than hippie, with dresses running to the mid-to-high three figures. At their sample sale this week, prices will hopefully be more hippie-esque; the weeklong event boasts archive pieces, original samples, and current-season merch in a variety of sizes. Through 8/12; 11-6; 336 W. 37th St. (8th & 9th Aves.).


Sample Sales of the Week: Lewis Cho, Bing Bang & Kiki de Montparnasse

January is kind of a dead time for sample sales, so when I heard that there were three good ones this week, I had to share them all.

First, tomorrow is the last day for the Lewis Cho sale, where cute, easygoing tops and dresses are up to 80% off retail. Through 1/19; 11-7; 225 W. 36th St. (7th & 8th Aves.), ste. 702.

Next is Bing Bang, which is one of my absolute favorite jewelry lines, designed by the talented Anna Sheffield. Prices are "amazing," which works for me. 1/19-1/21; noon-7; 153 Lafayette St. (at Grand St.).

Finally, if, like me, you like your knickers slightly kinky, head over to Kiki de Montparnasse for up to 75% off lingerie so scandalous, they need to keep it in the second-floor private salon. 1/23-1/26; 11-8; 79 Greene St. (Spring & Broome Sts.), 2nd fl.

Sample Sale of the Week: Jodi Arnold

Jodi Arnold has been in the news recently for having closed her Atlantic Avenue store in Brooklyn; WWD suggested that her company might be in trouble, but this article in the Post notes the poor foot traffic in Boerum Hill (which, by the way, is where I live). The good news, however, is that her University Place store is still open, and this week, it's hosting a sample sale, where the fall and winter lines will be up to 70% off. You can find fall coats for $195, fur vests for $165, dresses for $130, and sweaters for $105, and fancy party tops for $80. Aside from the fact that she makes really beautiful, unique, techno-savvy prints, Jodi Arnold's clothes can't be found in every single department store, which, if you ask me, makes them a very wise investment for the price--not looking like everyone else in New York is, as Mastercard says, priceless. The sale takes place 1/12-1/16 from 11-7 at 56 University Place (at 10th St.). For those who can't make it to NYC, fret not: You can shop online at jodiarnoldnyc.com starting today with promo code SAMPLESALE, although it should be noted, prices online aren't quite as steeply marked down as in the store.
