Recession got you down? Head to the fabled Hermès sample sale for a pick-me-up — underway right now at the Metropolitan Pavilion (123 W 18th St, between 6th & 7th Ave, Manhattan) until Sunday March 29. It is apparently much less busy than last September’s sale, however the most desirable pieces (leather goods) are still flying out the door. Here’s a listing of what to expect:
- $225 silk scarves (limit 10)
- $98 ties (limit 10)
- Canvas bags at 70% 0ff ($450 – $650) (limit 2)
- Leather bags at 60% off (around $2000 mark) (limit 2)
- Belts at 40% off ($200–$400)
- Shoes, 40% off ($300–$1700)
- Housewares, Baby, and China at various markdowns
