It's here, ladies! The legendary Manolo Blahnik sample sale returns. A fellow Mizhattanite (a BIG shoutout and smooch to Capitol Hill Barbie!) kindly tipped me off to this autumn's shoe spectacular which opens next Tuesday, November 8th, at the Warwick Hotel. As it is one of the city's most celebrated shoe shopping events, the Manolo sale has a reputation for drawing a very large crowd of discount-hungry shoppers, so be prepared for lots of commotion and heaps of bagged stilettos, flats, sandals, booties, boots, and more. As far as markdowns go, you can expect prices comparable to their last sales in April of this year and November of last year (basic heels started at $125). And don't forget, the sale is a cash-only event.
Where: Warwick Hotel, 65 W 54th St. (near 6th Ave.), 2nd Floor
When: Tuesday, November 8th.
UPDATE: Photos from inside: here, here, and here

Thank you so much for the heads-up! Very exciting!
ReplyDeleteHi Yusel,
DeleteMy pleasure!
👍👍👍👍
ReplyDeleteinfo in incorrect, there is NO such sale, FALSE
ReplyDeleteI know.. No such sale!
DeleteWhen is it then?
DeleteAnonymous OP is the liar who is disseminating false information.... sale is on 8.
Deletethere is no such sale, called Warwick Hotel they say no rooms booked by manolo
ReplyDeleteCome on! That is what they always say. If you believe that I have a beautiful bridge for sale in Brooklyn.
DeleteHi Miz. What time does it start? I'm thinking to be there 30 mins before it starts, or an hour? Which is best?
ReplyDeleteManolo sample sales do not have an official start time when it comes to the public portion. Only after F&F are done shopping, do they let the public in. 30 mins to an hour won't be good enough because people camp out very early.
DeleteWhat time does it start and what time do you think we should be there? Thank you for the info!
DeleteI would say 5 or 6 am. You really never ever know how many people are going to be there so to be on the safe side, come early.
Delete@Harlem77 - I thought you said "I know.. No such sale!" lol
DeleteOh yeah.."What sale!?!?" lol
DeleteAnyone there yet?
ReplyDeleteJust got there and I am group 19... Traffic is awful given all the secret services around.
ReplyDeleteI work right near the Warwick. Trump headquarters for the election is across the street at the Hilton on 54th/6th Ave. The area is crazy and will only get crazier as the day goes on! I'd avoid the sale this time around.
ReplyDeleteI just got a ticket and am group 30.
ReplyDeleteMiz twitter said they had started to let the public in. Could someone please keep us posted on the progress? Million thanks in advance!
ReplyDeleteThey called Group #4 and #5
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
DeleteThank you!
DeleteHi Everyone! Would someone be so kind to let us know what number they are up to? A million thanks!
ReplyDeleteJust called group #6
ReplyDeleteGosh. Only one group was let in for the last half an hour...
DeleteThanks for the update! Seems a bit slow moving. Hopefully there are still shoes left by my number!
ReplyDeleteAny BB or Hangisi left?
ReplyDeleteJust called #7
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWill they stop the Chinese resellers? Saw a mid age man brought out 5 or 6 bags full of shoes walked out and his "employees" were counting and taking pics of their trophies from their 7-8 bags.
ReplyDeleteManolo never sent a purchase limit at ss... I hate it too... I guess it might not be worth the trip at the moment.
DeleteStopped @ group 7-- they announced that they are cleaning up before letting in more people
ReplyDeleteThank you for the update!
DeleteAny progress so far? Are they letting people in? Which group it is now?
ReplyDelete#9 are waiting to go in....
ReplyDeleteI wonder how the selection looks like now...
DeleteMiz i love you for your insta and twittre
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure!
DeleteI was able to stop by and WISHED I did my normal time of coming by EARLY in the morning. I saw a few things but nothing I really wanted. A few BB's but not in solid colors so I passed. Proud of myself! All the goodies were gone or in the hands of women. A women I asked twice if she was taking a pair of flats and said "Ye" but never picked them up. I didn't want drama today so I did not push it. They were giving folks a time limit on getting on the line which was good. When I left they were on #8. The area is MADNESS so maybe that is why there were not a lot of people at the sale. The Candidates are in the area so lots of cameras and reporters.
ReplyDeleteHalf an hour ago I got out of the group #8 that was allowed to be inside for 45 minutes before the cleanup (no restocking). Choice for 38 and 38.5 was almost non-existent, but plenty for 40+. Taking photos is forbidden and they will ask you to leave if you do so. Prices start at $125+tax.
ReplyDeleteany idea what group they are on?
ReplyDeleteHow does the stock look like for size 6? Is it not worth going at this point?
ReplyDeleteHmmmm. I stuck to the 37 and 37.5 but at this time, it would be 50/50.
DeleteThanks girl!
DeleteAnyone knows what number they are up to?
ReplyDeleteSame question here
DeleteI just came from there and they were on number 18? I think? maybe 17. If you are a 37, 39 and up you have selection but if you're 37.5-38.5 there are probably about 35 pairs left (unless hoarders put some back)I used to be a 37 and that was wonderful but for some reason now I am a 37.5 and selection always gets tough. I still managed to get two awesome pairs! Thanks Miz for all the updates! -Polina
ReplyDeleteHi Polina,
DeleteThank you for updating everyone! Hope you enjoy your two new pairs of shoes!!
Any 36.5-37 left? And what number are they on now?
ReplyDeleteThey are closing in 15 minutes. If you have tickets, you better run over there now.
DeleteThank you for posting the information on sample sale accurately and ahead of the time. Today I got my first pair of manolos and thanks to you.
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure! Hope you cherish your new Manolos!!
DeleteSale completely closed
