An anonymous Mad-Spy reader wrote in the following tip:
Burberry is having a private sale until Monday in store and online. Up to 40% off. From past experience I can tell you that they will be selling everything that is on private sale at full price unless you know about the sale.
Here is the link to the online sale . Please use this information for good and not a horrid barn jacket.
Ralph Lauren is hosting a private sale where merchandise is up to 40% off. You can also receive another 15% by printing the below invite. (Thank you Paige Turner!)The sale starts Thursday, Nov 13th and goes until Monday, Nov 17th and includes Purple label, Black Label, Polo sportswear, accessories, footwear and much more.
P.S. I apologise for the poor image quality and recommend you blow up the image to read it more easily.
One of our readers, Ren, works downtown in marketing and got wind of what he describes as, “Montblanc’s fabulous city sale where they usually have excellent items beyond the pens (think watches, jewelry, leather goods) at great discounts. “
The sale is Monday and Tuesday next week. The details are below but make sure to print out a copy of the invite because the sale is “Private.”
Montblanc Private Friend’s and Family Sale

I’m going to take a moment to deviate from sale talk because good health and living well is priceless. You know how much I love Oz Garcia and his enthusiasm for looking great, staying healthy, feeling young and looking great, looking great, and looking great.
Oz’s celeb clients include, Hilary Swank, Victoria Secret model Karolina Kurkova, Project Runway’s Heidi Klum, bold named rap stars, Russian Oligarchs and yours truly. You can get a piece of his wisdom for a small fraction of what the stars pay by attending his symposium at the 92nd St Y on Tuesday, Nov 11th at 6:30pm.
There Oz will be discussing how you can redesign your path to youthful vitality. His talk will examine the benefits of power foods, the next generation of nutraceuticals, energy and mood boosters and brain function enhancers. He will explain the latest developments in weight management breakthroughs, immune strengthening tools and progressive cosmetic treatments to promote a more youthful appearance and increase vitality. All that for just $18!
Tickets can be purchased through the Y’s website by clicking here.
I have no idea who shops at Henri Bendel’s any more. It used to be a store great for introducing interesting designers and unique accessories. No other department store had a millinery department like Bendel’s but all that is gone. On the bright side, there is a vast cosmetic floor!!!
If nothing brings you to Bendels you might want to do some exploring being that they are hosting a 20% off friends and family event from Friday, Nov. 7th until Sunday, Nov. 9th. Only full priced merch is included but hats usually didn’t go on sale anyway.
Thanks for the tip J.L.
Like most New York institutions, Saks has a secret society that enjoys special privileges. For instance, certain Manhattan elite [read the likes of: Barbra Walters] have a constant 30% off discount. Other shoppers enjoy the store alone with their stylists and personal shoppers while a skeleton staff stays after hours [ahem: Céline Dion]. Then there are the minority of shoppers who are invited to Private Night [me and you].
Presenting Private Night c/o Peter Tay:
Hi,
Fall 2008 Private Night sale will be on November 11 and 12. I do not have a list of what is on sale, however I am sure there will be lots of goodies.
The following vendors are excluded from Private Night – Chanel, Prada, Gucci, and Miu Miu.
In order for me to accomodate everyone I am asking you to email me A list of definite items you want and A second list of maybes as A backup.
The “definites” list should consist of the shoes/bags/etc that you want unconditionally. You can “shop” through my Facebook albums and give me the numbers, color and size of each of the shoes that you definitely want. This way I can set your shoes aside before the madness begins.
The “maybe” list should consist of shoes/bags/etc that would be the replacement goodies, in the event that some of the items on the “definite” list become unavailable.
Once I receive both lists, I will start pulling your “definite” lists, and then follow with your “maybe” lists. I will then get in touch with you and let you know the outcome.
Please be considerate of my time when compiling your list. I have many clients to help so please only include items you are seriously interested in.
If you are still not a member of facebook, I would strongly recommend you become one, if not just to look at shoes in my albums, but to connect to all your friends who are.
This assures that you get what you want without coming into the store and minimizing the handling of your items.
If you will be using pre existing EGC, please let me know so I can transfer the balances to an EGC card u can process on your behalf. If you have an EGC with a balance greater than $1000.00, email me so I can give you directions on how to send your EGC to me.
It’s first come, first serve, so don’t miss out!
Best,
Peter

Almost as important as what you wear is what you don’t wear. That’s why La Perla has always been the go-to brand for those who like to dress up and undress.
