up coming designer pre sales


Chloe:
The sale doesn't officially start until Friday but you can preshop the discounts now. Shoes, clothing and a limited variety of bags will all be discounted 40% off.




Michael Kors:
The prefall collection is already reduced 50% and winter merchandise will be marked down the same amount following Thanksgiving.




Marni:
Presale has not yet started but we hear that the markdown is coming soon. The first discount should be 30% but a 50% price reduction usually comes shortly later.


Norma Kamali:
The Norma Kamali Black Friday sale will begin Wednesday. We hear that there will be seriously good deals. Select merchandise will all be priced $200 and under-- with most in the under $100 range. Sleeping bag coats in pink, cinder and cloud will be $125 to $175 from $650. (Perfect for keeping warm during the parade.) Silk satin gowns that were originally $2700, will be marked down to $200. The promotion takes a break for turkey day but will resume Friday.




YSL:
Presales will begin next week and the discount should be 30% to 40% off, depending on the item. The 57th Street location is plush with merchandise. We also hear that other locations will be transferring their merchandise to NYC too. We have a feeling there will be super discounts come January/Feb.

Saks Presale Begins



Saks Fifth Avenue still seems to be settling their Black Friday shopping incentives. For now, you can shop the eighth floor, designer shoe presale, where the markdown will officially be 30% Friday morning. In the contemporary department, fourth floor, items that are already discounted 40%, will be an additional 50% off until noon Friday. (There's really not a big selection but the markdown is substantial.)



Third floor, designer clothing is still a mystery. We imagine that there will be 30% markdowns on some designers, like Oscar and St. John and maybe Dolce.

GUCCI WATCHES + ARMANI WAREHOUSE SALE!!!! November 2010

So I actually went to the Gucci watch sale. I purchased 2 watches - a woman's gucci twirl and a mens watch. By the time I got there it was ransacked, only 3 tables left. Two with watches and one with some jewelery. The line outside was WRAPPED around the building. From what I could tell, people who was able to get in before did get the pick of the litter and basically bought out everything in bulk. It was suppose to be a two day sale but don't bother, everything seems to have sold out by today. -pictures later-


As for the Armani Sale, I didn't go but did see a LOT of people coming out with bags and it did seem like they have a huge stock of items. Most items were 60% off from what I've heard.
