There were 60+ shoppers in queue by the time the sale opened its doors. After checking in with an employee, I took the stairs up to Jimmy Choo heaven on the fourth floor of the Metropolitan Pavilion. Inside the venue, women's shoes, handbags, small leather goods, men's shoes, and other accessories were strewn on and under numerous tables. Excluding SLGs, markdowns were exactly the same as their last sale in May with prices ranging from $200 to $475 (see price list) for ladies shoes. Sizes were available from 34 to 43 and the selection included sandals, flats, pumps, sneakers, evening heels, and much more. Although I spotted a sorely lacking availability of boots at the sale, Jimmy Choo's Hunter boots from 2009 made their way back to the sale again.
The men's merchandise seemed less stocked compared to previous events. With sizes ranging from 39 to 46, I found slip-on sneakers, moccasins, suede booties, smoking slippers, oxfords, high top sneakers, driving shoes, and leather loafers. Again, prices for men's footwear also stayed in line with their last sale. Boots were priced $375 while non-boots were priced $250.
Moving onto accessories, handbags such as Riley totes, Alba shoulder bags, Sweetie clutches, Chandra clutches, Zoe hobos, star studded Sasha totes, and Cassidy totes were placed on top of several tables. Evening bags were $350 while daytime leather styles were $250~$450. Exotic bags could be purchased for an extra $200 each. In addition to bags, there were three tables of leather accessories available for discount seekers. SLGs (wallets, iPhone sleeves, iPad cases, card cases, and leather cup sleeves) were $100. This is an increase of $25 compared to the May sale. Scarves were $75 and belts were $50.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, like any Jimmy Choo sample sale, some of the shoes, bags, and accessories showed definite signs of wear and tear. Therefore, I strongly advise that you do a once-over of the merchandise before making a purchase. I was also informed by the staff this morning that the public portion will likely start later this afternoon and continue until tomorrow, so yay to that. I will make sure to keep everyone posted on any developing news like further markdowns, so stay tuned.

ReplyDeleteHi Miz, do you remember how much were the hunter boots? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi JW,
DeleteSorry, I didn't get to check the price on the Hunter boots but if you go by their price list, it looks to be $375.
No problem, thank you for the great report Miz!
DeleteLine of 5-10 people as of 3 pm today
ReplyDeletehows the sale as of now? the line? and products?
ReplyDeleteSALE UPDATE (10/15): The sale is now open to the public.
ReplyDeleteMiz – Always the best reviewer of sales out there! TY
ReplyDeletehi Miz - any biker boots available when you went? thank your for your wonderful reviews, as always.
ReplyDeleteThere were biker boots in tall and some short in weird colors. Standard black will only be in size 35 or 41. Sometimes they miraculously find more, but finding a black biker will be hard
ReplyDeleteAny update on how long the line is?
ReplyDeleteWent at 10 am this morning, and there was no line. Breezed right in. But the merchandise is severely depleted—there were no boots and no scarves, and it was slim pickings for the larger bags and the small leather goods. Lots of evening bags left, but they're still $350 and up.
ReplyDeletethanks. i was considering going straight there this morning. did you see if there was left in smaller sizes like 34-35?
Deletealot 34-35 this morning at 10;50 am
DeleteNo line this morning around 9:30AM. Not crowded either. Not sure about lunch time though.
ReplyDeleteI got to the sale around 1030, no line. Very slim pickings for anything above a 37. I did manage to grab a pair of suede floral boots and strappy heels in like new condition. Bags were limited and not much left :/
ReplyDeleteLine is about 20 people deep now.
ReplyDeleteis there any shoe size smaller than size 36? thanks!
ReplyDeletealot 34-35 this morning at 10;50 am
DeleteSale extended to 6.
ReplyDeleteDid they lower the prices at the end of second day? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYes, in the final hours of the sale, prices were lowered.
DeleteThank you, Miz! Do you know approximately what the reductions were?
DeleteWomen's shoes were $100~$200, men's shoes were $100~$150, accessories were $25~$50, and handbags were $250.
DeleteI bought a few pairs, and once I returned home, realized that one was a mismatch on sizing (even though they were zip tied together). I wonder if there is anything I can do!
