We had an exhausting day of shopping and we didn’t even make it half way down the Avenue. Even on a nice day like today the stores were empty. Not a credit card swipe to be found. This being the case we got extra attention and had some time to talk to our favorite sales people. Everyone we spoke to offered us a presale option although sales aren’t officially expected to start until 5/15.
We still have a lot more shopping to do on Monday but here’s the current sales information update going down from 80th Street:
Missoni: The sale officially started Thursday and the entire spring/summer collection is 40% to 50% off. For the first time ever, bathing suits and spring scarves are included in the sale. Prices of swim suits range from $420 to $620 and are now reduced to $220 to $313.

Intermix: A private sale is going on where all designer clothing is 40% off. Chloe, Stella McCartney, Valentino Red, Matthew Williamson are just some of the collections included in the sale. We were drooling over a $2,700 Williamson caftan, which is now reduced to $1620.

YSL:The sale hasn’t started yet but it’s expected to break next week. The discount will range from 30% to 40% but a second markdown should come quickly because prices are still too high.

Prada: The sale is slated to start mid-month. Even so, the collection is a disaster. Did we miss something or is there nothing to buy even if under $100?

Chloe: “I’ll tell my manager that you’re a good customer and we can put this on presale for you.” The sale will officially begin next week and the discount “should be 40% to 50%.”
