I wished I had time to really look but I picked up what I spotted and liked, tried on and went to check out. I appreciated that MB honored the list(because it would have been CHAOS and FIGHTING!!),called out the numbers,checked your name to make sure you are who you say your number was,gave you a ticket and you waited to be let in the other room. I feel it was up to YOU to be on top of what was going on. They announced to us to not leave in the waiting room after you got your ticket. Last I looked at the list, it was at 300 so I am sure the hotel and MB were not expecting that but it was a SS so load up on your coffee, mags and gift of gab. I had nooo issues and would be back again and again!

The person who's...Awful experience for me too. <br />The person who's in charge of giving out numbers/tickets didn't show up at 6:00 am like always, so people had to sign an attendance and wait. It ended up having almost 400 ppls waiting in the room as of 8:00 am. And when the ticket person finally showed up, it turned into a dizaster--- people rushed to the doors and blocked the hallway. the MB and/or Warwick employees is confusing too, as one of the workers in front asked first 75 people to go into another room(which is hard since a lot ppls blocked the way!), then the other worker in the back asked all people to go back to the room again. <br />People in the back had no clues what's happening in the front, and didn't know what to do as no one came and give direction. So when me and couple other girls found out they were calling numbers and managed to make our way to the front our A tickets have already been given out to people behind us. There's no "reservation" even if you've signed the sheet, which made the attendance sheet pointless as it became a first-call-first-in game. We woke up early and came at 5:30 am hoping for best section, but in the end had to go into the sale later with people came at 7:00 am. :( <br />I'm so disappointed at the way Manolo treated their royal customers, those who love the brand and willing to come and shop. I didn't have any mood to shop after this chaos whatsoever.

I arrived at 9am, and was turned away nearly 2 hours later. Moreover, the employees claimed there was very little merchandise left with 300 people waiting inside. They claimed they were NOT re-opening at 1pm. Apparently, that was a lie as they did open the doors this afternoon and there WAS merchandise available.

It must have been extremely difficult to see all those ladies cut in front of you--especially since you probably got to the Warwick extremely early.

When I was in, there were so many beautiful pairs, that I thought I could die in the shoe heaven. I let go many very beautiful pairs because I had only so much budget. The problem of size 37-39 was that they had only gorgeous pairs: none to rule out. So, all the first-comers grabbed at least 5 pair. I got five as well: suede ankle boots, black BB, D'orsays mary jane, cute booties, and rhimestone sandals. I am still so shoe-high. I think I am in a shoe coma. I know that my co-shoppers bought more than me, so hope some of you post! And sorry for those had bad experience: next time it will be your turn. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
