Cole Haan 80% Off

— Fri, 23rd January 2009 —


Saturday through Wednesday, find up to 80% off Cole Haan shoes, bags and outerwear at private sale space Soiffer Haskin. Online, you can still find far less remarkable markdowns.

**Update:  “Men’s selection is pretty weak unless you’re in the market for sneaker shoes,” one helpful reader reports from the sale. “There was a small spattering of outerwear, and a few nicer shoes, but this is mostly a women’s sale.”**
