According to one tipster, just like previous sales, today's sale merchandise was comprised of ancient Stefano Pilati designs and nothing from Hedi Slimane's current lineup. Those of you thinking of snatching up a few archival YSL handbags shouldn't even bother either. The bag section, as described by another tipster, was almost non-existent. Read: No clutches and definitely nothing desirable.
The shoe selection, per another reader, was described in a somewhat optimistic fashion. With prices ranging from $150 to $300, there were a few cute sandals & heels--but this all depends on your size. I've also been told sunglasses, jewelry, and fragrances are worth a peek but that's it.
Ultimately, to go or not to go is your call. But as stated by fellow Mizhattanites who wrote in, today's YSL sample sale was a fail. So, for the first time, I'm planning on skipping the YSL sale tomorrow. Instead, I'll be reporting from many other sample sales happening this week. Stay tuned!
Hi, Miz! Thanks for sharing...Are there artisan rings?
ReplyDeleteI mean Arty Ring!
DeleteOne tipster mentioned the jewelry section was ok but she didn't specify what was available. Sorry :(
DeleteWhat about the mens selection?
ReplyDeleteAny word on the men's selection?
ReplyDeleteI asked one of our readers and she stated the men's section fared better than the women's.
DeleteI dropped by this morning and it was horrible. I was hoping your tipsters were wrong but it turned out to be all true.
ReplyDeleteMen's section was terrible. Waiting on line for a long time and left empty handed.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't touch this sale with a 10-foot pole. It's that bad from what I heard from friends.
ReplyDeleteAny idea what fragrances are there? I'd love a bottle of In Love Again.
ReplyDeleteIf definitely wasn’t YSL’s best sale yet. I've been going yearly to all of the sales. It was way better then the summer sale. If you have time and the line is not long, it is worth giving it a shot. I got a bunch of accessories for $50 each.
ReplyDeleteMay i ask what kind of accessories did you get?
ReplyDeleteSure, two bangles (but there we're none left) a necklace. 2 belts and a ring, not the Arty. If your going for their main staple pieces there not there. Good luck
DeleteDo they have bags?
ReplyDeleteWhen is the best time to go? – I went around 2pm today and there was 1hour waiting time.
ReplyDeleteTry going tomorrow around 4pm (right before rush hour begins).
DeleteI would agree with everyone but I got out of a meeting early and walked by there was no line so I went in and while it took me a while but scored BIG (nude tribute sandals in my size!) but unless you're a size 5 or 11, 12 the shoe selection is paltry unless you're interested in Tribtoo pumps and can handle the seriously obnoxious line monitor - go for it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your insight! Hope you enjoy your new shoes!
DeleteThank you! I can't tell you how long i've been looking for them on sale! As for bags there weren't that many available yesterday afternoon and no muses. If you were in the market for clothing there looked like some good deals for small sizes. Someone was trying on a bright purple caftan with beaded neckline and it looked great.
ReplyDeleteThank you for letting us know.
DeleteMost of the items I have seen there were from the summer sale – if you are a small size there is not that much there – very very few dresses and the gowns were looking tired – very few. Belts – ok selection. I waited in line for 10 minutes and it was not worth it.
ReplyDeleteAny jewelries like rings or bangles left? Many thanks in advance.
ReplyDeleteI went last night and there was nothing left!!!! No jewlery, no nice belts, only wide ones and no shoes unless your a size 9/10.
DeleteAll merchandise--excluding women's shoes & sunglasses--are now an additional 50% off.
ReplyDeleteI went to the June 2013 sample sale bought large dark brown leather downtown bag and have never used it. If anyone is interested in buying I would be happy to sell it as I will never use it. Let me know if interested and I will send pictures and details.
ReplyDeleteI'm interested. Please send pics to deva.Newman@nick.com
DeleteMizhattan is there any additional discount on shoes or nothing? Do you think there will be one later?
ReplyDeletehow is the line - is the wait still long today?
ReplyDeleteNo wait now.
