The Chanel sale begins Wednesday. Shoes and ready-to-wear are 40% off. There are only two styles of bags on sale and they are both a seasonal fabric style. We hear 57th Street unsurprisingly has the best selection but usually the worst service due to the inundation of tourists. Head over to Madison for more personalized attention.

The big spenders of Neiman Marcus are often thanked with pre-discount shopping incentives. Today, the department store’s best customers were offered an exclusive web link to an online sale, shoes and bags are 33% off, designer apparel is 40% off and contemporary clothing is up to 50% off.
Speaking of Neiman Marcus, a Mad-Spy today wrote us saying that the Bergdorfs sale has already started. The sale wasn’t scheduled to to begin until Wednesday but maybe Bergdorfs is starting to feel the heat from Barneys and Saks 40% off…
We don’t post many sample sales and when we do they are usually exclusive deals or extreme discounts. The Diane von Furstenberg’s sample sale is neither but still draws our attention and the attention of chic girls, stylish women and elegant ladies from all over the area.
Today we hit the press preview bright and early. There was no line when we entered and the crowd was tame but lively. There is an amazing assortment of merchandise and more wrap dresses and shirts than you could imagine. Prices are as follows:
DVF wrap dresses and vintage: $150
Dresses: $125
Jackets: $125
Blouses: $80
Skirts: $80
Pants: $80
The best deals are the samples, which are all $50 and the worst deals are the cover-ups, which are $100. Even with the substantial retail discount the prices add up quickly when you start piling on the dresses. The sale runs through Saturday and as the week progresses there are usually markdowns. Friday seems like a good day to hit up 29th Street again.
Address: 260 Fifth Ave b/w 28th and 29th St
Dates and Hours: Tuesday, June 2nd through Saturday, June 6th. Tue 9am—6:30pm; Wed 10am—8pm; Thu 10am—7pm; Fri 9am—5:30pm; Sat 9am—3pm.
The Marc Jacobs boutique in SoHo– not to be confused with the Marc Jacobs section of the West Village– is hosting a 70% off sale. All spring ready-to-wear, shoes and jewelry are discounted by two-thirds. Bags are not discounted at all so if you’re looking for a good MJ bag discount you might want to head over to Barneys or Saks.
