The DVF sample sale is a go! If you recall, back in late May, the folks at DVF decided to scrap their bi-annual sample sale this year. That's why it came as quite a happy shock when I found out that the head honchos made a last minute reversal in their decision and green lit a sale. Whatever the reasons are for the dramatic shift, I'm just glad that the sale is happening. So, like I promised, here are the full details of this summer's DVF sample sale. Don't forget to read Mizhattan's past reviews from the two previous sales: June '12 & Dec. '12.
Where: 260 Fifth Ave. (bet. 28th & 29th St.)
When: Tuesday, June 25th, 10am~8pm

do you remember the reductions from last sample sale?
ReplyDeleteAt the Dec '12 sample sale, the final markdowns were an additional 30%.
Deleteis Monday a VIP/editor day?
ReplyDeleteMondays have generally been the Press/VIP day. But I can't be certain about this one because of the close turnaround between J.Crew and DVF. I'll keep you posted.
Deletewow! Since they announced it so late I definitely thought it would happen in July. Not sure how I feel about it happening next week! Very short notice!
ReplyDeleteShort notice but I think everyone will agree that it's better to have one than not have one at all.
DeleteVery true :)
DeleteSo I only started going to sample sales last year so I'm pretty green. A friend told me its really chaotic the first few days so I should wait. From past experiences, are there anything left at around the third or fourth day? Do you think its worth to wait until prices are further reduced? I've never been to a DVF sample sale before. Any insights will help. I've been coveting DVF dresses for awhile now.
ReplyDeleteIt depends on your priority. Is your first priority financially-driven? Do you wear an uncommon size? If your answer is yes to both questions, then go later on in the week. If your answer is no, then go on the first day. It will be pure chaos inside and a long wait outside, but you get to choose from a wider selection of merchandise. So think of your priorities and decide. Hope that helps!
DeleteSmaller sizes are generally gone within first two days from my experience and I have been to a few DVF sales so far. Also if you have been eyeing a particular print go the first day.
ReplyDeleteThis will be my first DVf sample sale, any suggestion on how early I should get there on the first day? If I get there at 7:30, when do u think I'llmake it in?thanks
ReplyDeleteGoing at 7:30am would make you one of the first, if not the first, on line. Go around 8-8:30am and you should be fine. Getting there at 9am, now that's a problem.
Deletedo you know if tomorrow will in fact be vip/press day?
ReplyDeleteThere will not be a VIP/Press day.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of going to this sale after the ysl one on friday. Do you think that there will be additional mark downs by then?
ReplyDeleteThere is a possibility of additional markdowns on Friday/Saturday. Check back and I will make sure to keep you updated.
DeleteThanks so much!
DeleteHow much are the additional markdowns announced today?
ReplyDeleteThey only announced they will be starting additional markdowns. No word on the exact numbers. If anyone drops by, please let me know!
DeleteDo you know if they will mark the items further down for Sunday, which is the last day?
ReplyDeleteIt's a possibility. I will keep you updated.
DeleteThe sale has been extended until Sunday. Additional markdowns have taken effect starting today (6/28).
ReplyDeleteJust came from sale. Kind of a madhouse inside. Outside line not too bad. LOTS of inventory. All dresses are now $100. Tops are $60. Leather handbags down to $175. Lots of swim caftans thrown into the dress aisles so i think those would be considered $100 as well. I can see why they extended the sale, they still have SOOO much. Should be very interesting to see what they slash it down to on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteAwesome reporting! Thank you so much!!
DeleteAny clue if there will be more reductions? I went yesterday but it was awesome and I'm wondering if I should make a second trip tomorrow since it was extended.
ReplyDeleteYes, there will be.
Deleteany idea how much the markdowns will be??
DeleteNo. They wouldn't say. If I hear anything, I will let you know.
DeleteWill there be more reductions tomorrow??
ReplyDeleteYes, final markdowns will take place tomorrow (6/30).
DeleteThanks Miz!! :)
DeleteNo problem!
DeleteWhat are the hours for tomorrow?
ReplyDelete11-7
DeleteWent back on the the last day! Left at 4pm. Hard to get to due to the Parade. Dresses were down to $75 and still alot left. GREAT sale this time around!
