Take advantage this long weekend to unwind and recharge your energy because you may be in for some serious boutique sale shopping. That's right. Most major luxury brands will start their seasonal sale right after the Memorial Day weekend (some have already started!). Mizhattan has put together a long list of high–end designer labels who are about to make you one happy fashionista.
Bottega Veneta: Public sale starts on June 3rd, but their invitation–only private sale will be held on June 1st & 2nd. Bottega Veneta's leather bags will only be available during their private sale. Which means, once the sale goes public, these bags will no longer be discounted. It seems that their invite list is not too strict, so I suggest calling the boutique store and asking nicely to be included on their list. Discount: Bags 30%, RTW & shoes 50%.
ChloĆ©: Pre–sale is currently in progress. RTW, shoes, and a very limited selection of bags are available. Discount: 40%.
Giuseppe Zanotti: Sale starts this Friday, May 27th. Discount: 30%.
Gucci: As I already mentioned yesterday, Gucci's in–store private sale starts on May 31st. The sale opens to the public on June 3rd. Discount: 20%~50%.
Jimmy Choo: Pre–sale is currently in progress. Discount: 30%.
Lanvin: Sale is currently in progress. Discount: 30%.
Miu Miu: Sale starts on June 2nd. Discount: 30%.
Prada: Sometime next week (exact date has not been set). Discount: 30%.
Reed Krakoff: Sale starts on June 2nd. Discount: 30~40%.
Roger Vivier: Sale starts on June 2nd. Discount: 30%~40%.
Valentino: Sale starts on June 1st. Discount: 40%.
