Few things are more enjoyable than sunny spring days, chilled glasses of Rosé and afternoons of sample sale shopping. Starting Monday, Global Fashions will open it’s doors to the public and offer incredible deals on an amazing selection of merchandise.

The sale will include a variety of designer labels for men and women from Stuart Weitzman, Anya Hindmarch, lots of Italian designers and more. All bags, shoes and accessories will be discounted 70% off and most clothing will be 80%. For weeks we’ve been anticipating seeing blue skies, sunshine and a peek inside this incrediable sale. Let’s just say, the wait was worthwhile.

The sample sale selection includes a variety of Stuart Weitzman shoes that are all 70% off. We spotted some sandal styles. Peep-toe block heel sandals are $132 from $445, suede low heel nude pumps are $117 from $338 and Gigi suede slides are $180 from nearly $600. We have pictures below.

We know the Stuart Weitzman selection can be distracting but you won’t want to miss the new styles of Anya Hindmarch bags that are also 70% off. A pink crossbody bag with a puffy heart is $270 from almost $900, a shoulder bag with an emoji clasp is $495 from $1645, and a multi-color block Boston style bag is $690 from $2295. Those are really good, but if you look even more closely at the bag selection you will see a studded double handed classic black style tote bag that comes to $900 from $3000 and a color blocked Glamlock bag is about $1122 from $3745.

It just keeps getting better. In the back, you will find shoes assorted by size. We immediately fell in love with the most classic style Rockstud pointed toe pumps. They are available in an assortment of colors and there are plenty of size options. The final price is just $255 from $845. It almost feels like one pair is not enough. Basic black patent pumps with a 4″ heel are $330 from $1095 and sneakers are $210 from nearly $700. (That’s less than a pair of Yeezys.) Click over to the jump to see lots of pictures.

Among the clothing that’s reduced 80% off, we found a Red label dress with embroidery and subtle embellishment that comes to just about $200 from $995. A lace couture dress tallies in at $900 from $4500 and a cashmere and leather trench is $1400 from nearly $7000.

This sale only runs through Wednesday. You can be sure some of our favorite items will sell out very fast. If you see something you like in the pictures we suggest you arrive early on Monday. Be sure to tag @MadisonAvenueSpy and @GlobalFashionsGroup in your social media pictures for extra rewards.

Bergdorf Goodman is usually the most conservative of our local stores when it comes to markdowns. This season, however, the “Lavender Lady” is killing it with a discount of 40% off bags, shoes, and clothing. The presale started today and becomes official in stores and online on May 23.

The main floor of handbags is buzzing with activity as customers revel over the great deals. Valentino bags are 40% off, Balenciaga is 30% off, Loewe is 40% off, Saint Laurant is 30% off and Fendi is 30% off. You can click here to see pictures of what styles are included in the markdown. Our favorite finds were this Loewe Hammock bag with canvas and leather comes to $1410 from $2350 and a crossbody Saint Laurent wallet on a chain comes to $1253 from $1790.

Upstairs in the shoe department, you will find a fantastic assortment of shoes for presale at 40% off. Usually, the first markdown is just 30% to 33% off. The selection includes Manolos, Fendi, Jimmy Choo, Prada, Balenciaga, Valentino and so much more. There is no Gucci, Chanel, Dior or Celine included in the sale… yet. Some of our favorite styles are this Manolo strappy sandal that comes to $500 from $845. There are also a lot of Hangisi variations on the sale racks. Fendi-Fila heels are about $600 from $990 and Valentino Rockstud cage sandals are $500 from $825. We have lots of pictures over here

The presale just started today so the store was still pretty tame. We are sure that the scene will become more intense as word gets out. Who can argue with 40% off at Bergdorfs?!

We love Spring in New York– markdowns, sample sales, and yes, the Manolo Blahnik. We are very excited to share that the Manolo Blahnik sample sale will be Wednesday, May 22 and it’s open to the public.

The morning segment of the sale will only be open to Manolo’s invited guests. Everyone else will begin to start shopping at about 11am. As is tradition, the second-floor salon of the Warwick Hotel will be the site of the event.

This sample sale is a bi-annual highlight for shoe lovers. As you can imagine, the wait time can be worse than the line at DMV. We usually prefer the boutique sales, even if prices are a bit more expensive. Those who can’t make it to the sale can shop an assortment of brand new discount Manolos from the scroll above. Saks and Barneys also are presaling Manolo Blahnik at 40% off and there are lots of great Hangisi styles available.

Those who are up for the Manolo sample sale challenge, should expect to take a number and wait, and wait, and wait. Numbers will not be distributed until 7:30 am. We wouldn’t suggest arriving before then because there will be no priority given– even if you arrive at 4:30 am.

The really nice thing about this sale is that you can leave and come back once you get your lucky numbered ticket. Take note, that the sale opens to the public at 11am and will close when inventory begins to run low. In past years, that was at about 3pm to 4pm.

We expect that prices will run along the same lines as last season. Plain shoes, including leather, suede satin, and printed fabric start at $125 and go up to $150. Shoes with embellishments like glitter and studs were priced $175. Boots started at $200 for basic versions and went up to $400 for over-the-knee styles. (You can click here to see our post from last season’s Manolo Blahnik sample sale or head this way to see our complete guide on shopping the Manolo sample sale.)

Over the past few seasons, the assortment has been dwindling as a result of VIP resellers, hoarders and other company modes of liquidation. We are keeping our fingers crossed that this sale is better than the past several seasons. Momma needs new Manolos!!!

If you attend the sale, please keep us all posted in the comment section below.
