The Best NYC Sample Sales to Prioritize This Week
If I were planning my route, I would start with Alice + Olivia, Rag and Bone, Galia Lahav, ba&sh, and Christofle. Paris Texas is also worth knowing if shoes are your priority, and the kids’ sales make this a more well-rounded calendar than usual.
As always, the best inventory tends to go early, especially on opening day. If one of these brands is on your list, shopping earlier in the week is usually the best move.
