Sample Sales

You asked for it and Rebecca Minkoff complied. Really, what else could our devoted Minkettes ask for? (I know you all can think of something!). Rebecca Minkoff is actually getting married almost as we speak. Congratulation to Rebecca! A great way to celebrate is with her online sample sale. So maybe you didn’t make it to NYC, LA, SF, or DC, but we can all attend the online sample sale. I will be there, with my jammies on, ready to click if needed! The sale starts tonight at 9 P.M EST and you all are known to take down the Rebecca Minkoff site and servers. Who is ready to click away? After you buy, make sure to share what you get with the large group of Minkettes on tPF on the Sample Sale Thread!

I can guarantee you all of one thing: designers and corporate offices have continued to realize the pull that the online realm has. One such example is with Rebecca Minkoff, a designer that we have covered as she started her company through present day, where her bags are known upon first glance and celebrities can not put them down. I don’t doubt that she owes much of her success to the online realm and her fans who have gathered to talk about her bags. The Rebecca Minkoff subforum on Purse Forum leads the web in the number one place to chat about all bags from this designer. And after the success of her other sample sales, the group of gals asked for another sample sale. And Rebecca Minkoff complied.

Tomorrow is the Rebecca Minkoff Sample Sale in Washington, DC. If you are in the area, you must check it out tomorrow!

Have you missed Vlad and I? We are totally MIA while on vacation right now and loving it. Goodbye internet, hello peace and quiet. It is odd, but we are loving it. But I feel an itch. An itch to shop. And shopping in Columbus, Ohio is nothing like shopping in South Florida and nothing like braving the NYC sample sales. I am yearning to be in NYC for Sample Sale season. The next Sample Sale we are missing but some of you must attend if from Devi Kroell. Beginning tomorrow, the Devi Kroell sample sale will begin where you are sure to spot amazing exotic bags, shoes, and accessories.

Spring not only means flowers and warmer weather, but it means Sample Sale season is here! Designers will be emptying out amazing items for prices that are beyond amazingly low. Up next this week is the Botkier Sample Sale, offering between 50-70% off handbags, shoes and wallets. Even better, if you bring your mother to the sale they will give you an additional 10% off as a Mother’s Day treat. We are huge fans of Botkier Bags here, so make sure if you are in the NYC area to check out their sample sale.

One of our favorite designers has her sample sales coming up in the next few weeks. Kicking off the Sample Sale in New York City, Rebecca Minkoff will have a exclusive Cinco de Mayo MAB and Margaritas party for tPFers. Yours truly, Vlad and I, will be attending as well! Sample sale madness begins and we would love to see you at the RM Sample sale the night before it is open to the public. We hope to see you there!

If you aren’t familiar with Mary Norton handbags, let me introduce you. Several celebs have been spotted carrying her beyond exquisite clutches. There is something extremely unique and sophisticated yet totally wearable about Mary Norton handbags. Although I feel like I would love carrying one of her clutches as I grace the red carpet (ya, one day, right?), as I come back down to reality, I can still see myself carrying a clutch as I head out for the night.

And what’s better than carrying a clutch when you can find yourself a pair of gorgeous shoes as well? For those of you in the NYC area, it is yet again your lucky day. Check out the details below about the amazing sample sale Mary Norton is putting together. And of course, make sure to share your newest purchases with us!

If you are in the NYC area, make sure to check it out to get up to 70% off men’s and women’s bags, shoes, belts, gloves and small leather goods.
