*SAMPLE SALE* Rodarte

I'm supposed to be on vacation but I learned about a noteworthy sample sale earlier this evening and just wanted to quickly write this up. Rodarte has announced that their upcoming sample sale will take place on Saturday, June 1st. Per usual, the company is asking you to RSVP at andy@rodarte.net. I don't know about you but I'm getting annoyed with this same old RSVP request. The label has clearly shown in the past that they aren't quick in replying back with the necessary info. In addition, they rarely, if ever, check names at the door. So, what's the point? It's just a bit too coy for my taste. Anyway, drop by this article next week and I'll make sure to update it with the confirmed address. If the past is any indication, the sale will be held at the Ace Hotel and shoppers will find an assortment of RTW, shoes, & accessories.

When: Saturday, June 1st

*SALE HUNT* Roger Vivier Private Sale

For those who just couldn't brave the massive line outside the last Roger Vivier sample sale or got in and couldn't find anything nice, here comes one last chance to shop for discounted Vivs before summer starts. The posh boutique on Madison Ave sent out letters to their most valued customers inviting them to privately shop the label's Spring '13 collection. This exclusive event will start on May 29th and will run through June 2nd. Attending patrons will find shoes reduced 30%~40% off. Though the sale is intended for VIPs only, there won't be any name checking, so feel free to drop by and save on some lovely buckled shoes.

*SAMPLE SALE* Alice + Olivia

So, this is interesting. The Alice + Olivia sample sale is scheduled to return next month. But for the first time ever, the company will host their sale at two (2!) different locations. One in Midtown and the other in Soho. Starting June 10th, Alice + Olivia fans will have the choice of shopping at either 260 Fifth Ave or 72 Greene St. It's like your very own sartorial version of Choose Your Own Adventure! Whichever location you choose, you'll be happy to know that the discounts will be the same at both venues. Clothing, shoes, and accessories will be up to 70% off. And in case you decide to go with the Midtown locale, you can get a better sense of what to expect by reading the full Mizhattan report from last December.

*SALE HUNT* Bottega Veneta Private Sale

The following info is only for my fellow Mizhattanites who are serious about purchasing something from Bottega Veneta. The Italian luxe brand is currently hosting a very private pre-sale at their boutiques for VIPs. Usually, Bottega has their private event just three days prior to the sale going public--public sale starts on May 29th--but I've been informed that the Italian house is allowing VIPs to shop their summer sale NOW. More importantly, unlike other brands, Bottega Veneta only marks down prices on handbags and shoes during this private sale. Yes, you heard that right. Once the sale officially goes public, discounts on bags and shoes will be off the table. Only select RTW will be on sale at 40% off. So what does this mean for non-VIPs? Well, unlike all those exclusive sample sales, the boutiques don't actually have a "closed" list of invitees. If you appear to be serious about shopping, the SAs will be more than happy to offer you the 40% discount. So, act like a big spender and you'll walk out with bags full of discounted Bottega goodies! Happy Shopping!!
