I remember about Fall last year there were a lot of NYC girls on here mentioning all the fabulous sample sales! I wanna plan a trip to go out there for that! Does anyone have specific dates and info? or even a timeframe if it's a bit aways?
I don't know when the next batch of sample sales are, but I know that there were a ton that took place 3-6 weeks ago in NYC so I wonder if it might be a while before there's a lot in quick succession.
you can find sample sales in late fall/december (i always like the inhabit one and i think theirs is fall)- but i know a lot of designers have pressure from showrooms to wait til after the holidays. Once resort is out though- there is usually good sales. you can check listings online nymetro.com. Any specific sale you'd like to go to?- designers tend to hold them around the same time every year.
not to sabotage the thread.. but i was interested in Botkier's sample sale... has that already past, or do you know when it may be around?

I especially remember at that time some girls mentioning the DVF sample sale, sample sales for some line of handbags, and more (wish I could remember now). I just know the designers were more "dressy" than the sample sales we have in L.A.
the next round of sample sales should be sometime in late November/early December.
