sample sales
Designer goods cheap
Sample sales are retail events where fashion brands sell excess inventory, prototypes, and showroom samples at steep discounts—often 50-80% off retail prices.
Originally industry-only events for editors and buyers, they've become public shopping occasions, particularly in fashion capitals like New York.
The merchandise may include one-off pieces, irregular sizes, or items with minor flaws: I scored a designer coat at the sample sale for a fraction of the original price.
