What will be there? Signature bags, scarves, shoes, ties, home products, and ready-to-wear for men and women.
oh How I wish I was in ny this week
and I thought that brand like Hermes would never do sales..
i am SOO jealous! lucky girls
Hi Kelly! Lucky me lives in NYC! I’ve never been to a sample sale much less one of this magnitude. can you tell me what to expect? what should i look for? is this a sale that you need to line up for if you want to get anything or will the inventory be re-stocked? what payment types do you think they will accept? advice is appreciated! thanks
Kelly, i have been to their sample sale (the private one that takes place the day before it goes public) which is by invitation only. There are no SERIOUS signature bags (usually just garden bags). However, there are great scarves and ties and gorgeous ready to wear as well as shoes…ping
Hey Ping,
I live in NYC and will be braving everything else to go this sample sale. What should I expect, especially products for men?
Niles.
How freakin lucky are you NY Gals! Maybe I should commission someone to grab me a scarf and charge a finder’s fee! LA sucks for sample sales. Enjoy your newfound Hermes treats ***sniff, sniff***
WHat I would do to fly to NYC for this event. I love Hermes– they have the best leathers and silks ever! Do let me know when an event like this will occur in SF or Los Angeles!
How can I get to go to the private sale the day before it is open to the public.
Thanks
scarves are great nuff.
is this an annual affair?
hey
is this an annual thing?
ehh, i’ve been a few times, this sample sale is nothing to get ruffled over…..
i usually go mid sale..and like someone mentioned, no major bags, just ALOT of garden totes and herbags…
ties, shoes, home accessories, scarves…clothes (that was all in larger sizes, if I remember..)
Niles, there are sweaters, ties, shirts, their signature hats (for both men and women), blankets, scarves (unisex ones too for the winter), towels for the men.also houseware, plates, glasses, etc…i just saw your email this morning, otherwise i would have looked closely at the items for men..have fun..PING..ps. yesterday their phone lines were working sporadically so each credit card had to be called in, hence the checking out line was an hour long! (i hope they fixed the problem today!)..Ping
PS..i think this happens twice a year…b/c i was at another one about 6 months or so ago…Ping
Hi Ping, thanks for your post. How do you get an invite for the private sale? Do you have to purchase massive amounts of Hermes at their stores?
hey, mit, is this annul?
hell, as long as you dont have to pay full retail price,
a sale is a sale.
and it is hermes
When will Hermes have a sample sale in Los Angeles?
I am a bit confused. Is the sample sale happening on Sunday too? some sites (like the nytimes and this site) say yes on sunday, but the metropolitan pavillion website says the sale ends saturday!
is there going to be the sale sunday or not?!
Any idea when if there is a Hermes sample sale coming this Sept as well??
