As a result I had a great experience and was not stressed or shoved. The staff really tries to keep the calm and they are VERY patient. It's a shame that can't be said for some of the VIP's They know they are getting in before the public yet they stand in the doorway blocking everyone with their H tickets and they are only calling A & B. I had ticket C and did not even hear them call it until they pushed through the room past all the door blockers who refused to sit down. I had to walk past at least 50 people to get out of my room and into the shoe room. As for the hoarders it is disgusting and they should limit the sale of the shoes. I think the problem is the company ( not the on site workers) would rather them all just be sold then deal with bringing any back. The staff that is on site could not be nicer. As for the marker- really are you embarrassed when you take your shoes off at yoga you will be judged for getting shoes on sale? There is no shame in buying on sale. <br /><br />Thank you Mizhattan for your hard work :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7331955872193893361.post-4274921496865158652015-05-15T13:04:32.285-04:002015-05-15T13:04:32.285-04:00That's interesting.

I saw some girls with luggeage, and from what they r talking, i can tell they are reseller. I think it's better that the company should have limit per person. They grab it and add $100-$200 sell it back to China or USA. Sample sale is good chance for ppl get their shoes, not for ppl to take advantage to make money. I went last year, i saw Asian put like 30 pairs together, but i am sure they are not Chinese, they are Korean. This time I am sure they are Chinese. it's a SHAME. I DO FEEL IT.

I can't believe someone actually took a picture of the two Asian girls that was hoarding all those shoes at the corner (someone posted it above through Dropbox). I am sure they are not the only hoarders there, as someone mentioned a husband and wife team too? But boy, I would feel embarrassed if it was my face there. Is it too much to ask to show some manners in sample sales these days?

She kept yanking the shoes back and yelled "enough enough. I'm not Chinese I'm not reselling these", while taking wallet out of her Prada bag. I thought she was so rude and those comments were unnecessary. If she was only wearing them who cares about the marker, especially on tall boots.

I arrived the hotel at 8:55 AM and I received No.16 for public. A lady in front of me received the alphabet H for VIP. The sale started at 9 AM for VIP. One of staff told me that door would be open after 11 AM to public. I enter the room around 1 PM. Staff brought some shoes periodically, so we had a lot of options in the afternoon too.<br /><br />There were chairs, bathrooms, and even water was prepared for us! What a kind and comfortable sample sale!

I think it was really nice of the Manolo people to make sure that everyone who waited for hours in the conference room could get in. Of course things got crazy immediately with ladies grabbing shoes left and right. At that point only sizes 37, 40.5-42 had any real selection. <br /><br />As I was leaving I overheard some of the employees wonder aloud as to why the company does not enforce a buying limit. Apparently a husband and wife duo hoarded bins, those giant bins that fit like 50 shoes and subsequently screwed over their fellow shoppers. If it wasn't for that pair of resellers so many more people could have been admitted inside not to mention would have been able to buy something.Narahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03833328786207575322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7331955872193893361.post-81802246878552223012015-05-14T17:56:32.832-04:002015-05-14T17:56:32.832-04:00any advice to remove the sharpie from the label??any advice to remove the sharpie from the label??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7331955872193893361.post-32337401754182690492015-05-14T17:54:32.314-04:002015-05-14T17:54:32.314-04:00dear miz, thank you again for all the updates and ...dear miz, thank you again for all the updates and info to get us prepared for the big day! it was crazy but fun. the ticketing system and waiting rooms were all pretty organized too. I probably waited about 4 hours all in but it was worth it because there were plenty of choices (37) when I got in at 1p. as for "one highly zealous person commandeering an extra large plastic bin to place her 50+ haul into" -- as actually ended up filling FOUR of those bins w shoes and having them hand-carted off. which I think is a little extreme and unfair because she kept trying to snatch the shoes we were trying ON to add to her collection. talk about greedy mcgreederson. I ended up w 2 suede booties and cute slip ons and am stoked. no more shoes!!!
