The Jimmy Choo sample sale opens to the public on Tuesday, October 14, at the Metropolitan Pavilion. You’ll need to RSVP to attend. and enter the code JCGA25.  After registration,  email will be sent to you with a  confirmation number. That said, this RSVP system doesn’t do much for crowd control. To my surprise,  every season, the line stretches down to 8th avenue and around the block. I suggest you skip the morning rush, the line waiters, and herders and go later in the afternoon. Better yet, wait until the second day when the lines finally thin out. There's always shoes to buy.  Most styles heels are $350 and boots are $375. Men's shoes are usually the best bet (and the most civilized section of the sale.)  If you’d rather avoid the crowds altogether, Jimmy Choo runs good online sales throughout the year. Some current finds are below.
