    Manolo’s Biggest Markdown of the Year

    Monday is the start of the Manolo Blahnik super semi-annual sale. This four day sale is the perfect opportunity to stock up on classic and ornate shoes from the spring and summer collection at up to 75% off.

    Styles are from the exclusive boutique collection and include some alligator. Prices are always marked by sticker dots, which usually range from $195 for a red dot up to $375 for a green dot. Most shoes and low boots– even highly ornate styles– are priced at $250.

    The selection of current season “it” shoes is much better at this boutique sale than the sample sale or the department stores. Then there’s always the increased enjoyment of shopping in the beautiful and wonderfully civilized atmosphere. Last season we attended the sale in the late afternoon and there wasn’t even a line at the door. You can click here to see all the details from last year’s final markdown.

    The store can get crowded but at least there isn’t usually a long line to get in. Since the sale is only four days, we suggest trying to attend towards the beginning. We doubt there will be a lot of restocking. Styles and sizes always run low quickly.

    31 West 54th Street
    212-582-3007 (Don’t expect anyone to answer)
    Monday-Friday 10:30am to 6pm

    The boutique will close from 2pm to 3pm to restock

    Needless to say these types of discounts are irresistible. Below is a section of our top picks. Feel free to sort through the merchandise yourself but don’t be surprised when you find your shopping cart maxing out your credit card.

    Bottega Veneta Sample Sale

    It’s hard to think of a lot of benefits to being in the city during a Summer heatwave. As an external optimist we are always on the outlook for a silver lining. We suggest you grab an ice coffee and keep an eye on the annual Bottega Veneta sample sale, which kicks off Wednesday.

    The sale starts early with a friends and family preview and then opens to the public at 10 am. At past sales, woven bags were snatched up quickly. Discounts were about 60% off. Shoes tend to also go very quickly, but that shouldn’t be a surprise when prices range from just $100 for flats to $250 for boots.

    The clothing selection is always a big draw too. Last year, tops were priced at $100, dresses were $200 and coats were $300. The problem is always that the early shoppers scoop up all the best items.

    When we first started covering the BV sale, it was employees only and the merchandise assortment was epic. Now, shoppers can expect to find long lines and a questionable selection. Heading to this sale is somewhat of a crapshoot. If you do venture out, we suggest you apply extra sunscreen and abort the mission if the lines are too long.

    Bottega Veneta Sample Sale
    Wednesday, July 27 through Thursday, July 28
    Wed 10am-7pm, Thurs 9am-7pm
    Metropolitan Pavilion / 123 West 18th Street

    Hunt & Gather: $200 Designer Shoes

    The prices of designer shoes have skyrocketed over the past five years. It wasn’t so long ago that standard designer pumps retailed for $600. Now it seems as if $900 is the designer benchmark. Analysts frequently debate if people are actually spending more or just waiting longer for deeper discounts.

    After experiencing several seasons of sticker shock it’s fun to hunt for shoes that are reduced under $300. Insiders tell us there is an deluge of designer merchandise still left in stores. Above is a great assortment of designer shoes that will cost you somewhere in the $200-range. It just proves that no matter your budget you should never settle.

    Our lineup includes an impressive assortment from Francesco Russo, Charlotte Olympia, Jimmy Choo, Prada and Aquazzura. Sizes are limited in each style but if you hunt, we are sure everyone can find something to gather.

    TheOutnet is hosting a huge sale on Tuesday morning where everything will be discounted 80%. In addition to clothing, the sale will include shoes, bags and jewelry.

Among the shoes are Saint Laurent studded cowboy boots for $320 from $1600 and Maiyet boots are $199 from $1000. There is a great Charlotte Olympia Perspex bag reduced to just $380 from $1900.
