*SAMPLE SALE* Alexander Wang

Surprise! Betcha never expected this. In just under 2 weeks, after being absent for well over a year, Alexander Wang will be making a comeback with a November sample sale in Soho. Starting Tuesday, November 6th through Saturday, November 10th, shoppers will save up to 70% off on the label's edgy downtown wardrobes. Since it has been awhile, I suggest reading the full Mizhattan report from the summer 2011 sale before you attend.

Where: 131 Greene St. (bet. W. Houston & Prince St.)

When: Tuesday, November 6th, 8am~8pm
Wednesday, November 7th, 8am~8pm
Thursday, November 8th, 8am~8pm
Friday, November 9th, 9am~7pm
Saturday, November 10th, 10am~6pm

UPDATE: Photos & info from this sale

  2. Any thoughts on how early we should get there on day 1 for a good crack at the bags?? I am dying for an Emile large tote in black and based on comments from last year, they had them... Thanks so much! You've been so helpful with your comments on YSL.

    1. Going bright and early on the first day gets you the best variety of merchandise. Going on the last day gets you better discounts on the leftovers. The choice is yours.

    2. Thanks. If I am to get my hands on the mens stuff it is best I show up at the crack of dawn, correct?

    3. For men, you don't need to get up as early to grab the good stuff. The only problem is that if you get there mid-morning, you'll need to wait on line with all the ladies to get inside. This means you could be wasting your time waiting outside.

    1. I haven't heard anything yet since all of lower Manhattan is still closed due to the power outage. Once everything is restored, I'm sure my contact at Alexander Wang will let me know of any updates.

    I spoke with someone from corporate today, who said there is no power at the sale location. There will be an update tomorrow.

    nymag and mizhattan are both reporting that it’s still on, but i do not want to wake up at the break of dawn tomorrow to get in line if it’s not actually happening. did your contact at corporate suggest that we shouldn’t go tomorrow?

    3. A family member took my invite as I had a dinner engagement. She got in and I was told electricity was restored from an outage earlier in the afternoon. So the public opening will go forward tomorrow morning.

  17. Around what time do you think the final markdowns for the last day will be? I'm thinking about getting there at 10 am, would that be too early?

    1. Hi Connie,

      They had markdowns today. Shoes are now $95 and RTW have an additional 20% off. Reports have been coming in that these were it and there would not be any further markdowns. If for some reason AW decides on further reductions, then around 1pm would be your best bet.

    2. Thanks for the info!!!
