I'm sure many of you are itching for a good sample sale these days since it's been verrry slow for sample sale shopping. Don't worry because I have really exciting news. The master of fur & everything luxurious, J. Mendel, will be hosting a private sample sale early next month. The sale will be open to the public for one day (March 7th) with the two previous days reserved for special clients. I'm told that if you try to go on either the 5th or 6th without an invite, you will be turned away. So, my MizAdvice is to go early on the 7th. The event will feature the label's elegant RTW, cocktail dresses, gowns, evening separates, and fur. This is a not to be missed sale, but if you are sensitive about wearing fur, this event is definitely not for you.
Where: Union Square Ballroom, 27 Union Square West.
When: Tuesday, March 5th through Wednesday, March 6th (invite only)
Thursday, March 7th, 9am~5pm (public day)

Do you know how late in the day the sale will run? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't told the exact time, but the sale will run throughout the day.
DeleteThanks for reporting this. I'm quite excited about this one. Have you been to any J Mendel sales before?
ReplyDeleteI haven't attended a J. Mendel before. Hoping it will be a good one!
DeleteHey Miz, I hear that the sale is now invite only for the first 2 days and open to public on Thursday only? 9-5pm. Any clue on how to get an invite? :)
ReplyDeleteYes, the first two days will be a private invite-only sale. I've been told by J. Mendel that non-invitees will be turned away on the first two days. So, I recommend you get there bright and early on Thursday as I heard that the selection will be amazing.
DeleteIs it true that this sale is now only private and will not be open to the public? :(((((
DeleteI've gotten two emails with differing answers from two separate sources who work for J. Mendel. One is saying that the public day is closed, while the other is saying that the public day will go on. Confusing, I know. As of now, let's err on the side of caution. I'll be doing some footwork today and will let all my fellow Mizhattanites know by tomorrow afternoon whether this sale will go forward.

DeletePlease let us know if you can et in without an invite. Sometimes these things are not as strict as they claim to be, especially if turnout is low!
ReplyDeleteFor the 2 invite-only days, they will not let anyone in who isn't on the list. My advice is to not even try. Instead, go on Thursday, March 7th as that is the only public day.
DeleteLadies, as promised, I have confirmed with J. Mendel and the sale WILL be open to the PUBLIC on Thursday, March 7th. This will be the ONLY day the public will be allowed in.
