A moderate selection of mainly men's bags was discounted an additional 25%. As soon as the sale ended, there was a mad rush of sale employees to the racks (think they'd been given permission to pick out item(s) for free or close to free?

I completely agree ...I love your site and updates! I completely agree with all comments that their sales are nothing like what they used to be...I used to score big time at BV sales! The bags were WAY overpriced for a sample sale. I saw one clutch left that was priced at $600, which wasn't "terrible" I guess, but too much for a sample sale in my opinion...especially because it was mostly kind of plain. I did get two pairs of shoes at $150 each - one stiletto bootie from their Fall 2014 collection that retailed for $1600, and another stiletto sandal which is an older style but still cute and comfortable, so it wasn't a complete waste of time I guess, but I was definitely expecting much more! I guess this might be how their sales are going forward =( Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7331955872193893361.post-14055495057952423682015-07-24T09:43:31.680-04:002015-07-24T09:43:31.680-04:00Great photos Miz!

...Great photos Miz! I even spotted myself in one ;)<br /><br />This was such a disappointing sale. Let's face it most of us were there for handbags and SLGs but there was nothing to choose from despite being one of the first people inside. I actually found a wallet but it was so dirty and worn looking I had to put it down. I think the best deals were in jewelry. BV uses very high end materials unlike other designers who just use the cheap stuff for the costume jewelry. My friend and I got real silver pieces that retailed into thousands for just $50-$75. So at least it wasn't a complete waste for us!

The lowest priced bag was $350 for a FANNY PACK. Last year, I purchased a woven trim crossbody for that amount. Whatever woven they had, they increased pricing 3-4x of their regular sample sale price. In NY, there are many other places you could get Bottega for less, particularly during a dept store sale. Shoes-- no woven styles either as opposed to last year. This used to be an amazing sale, but this year was unbelievably anticlimactic. I didn't bother to buy a bag.
