When designers have private sample sales it sometimes comes off as if the brand is utilizing exclusionary marketing tactics to drum up attention. The privacy rules are usually more a necessity than a marketing ploy as department stores– which are often a brand’s biggest customer– frown upon being undercut.

Next week, Devi Kroell is hosting one of these “private” sample sales and we can only imagine that the sale has gone private to protect the amazing discounts. At the last sale, in October, we found lots of shoes and bags including hobos, envelops and an wide array of minaudieres. Prices of the in-season samples ranged between 80% and 90% off of retail.
The sale will run from Monday, February 11 to Friday, 15. To attend, shoppers must email for an
appointment. Once your email is received you will be given a time slot and a long list of instructions. Shoppers are warned not to you not to arrive before their time slot and all belongings including cell phones will need to be checked. This is, after all, a no photos allowed private sample sale.
