Louis Purple Sample Sale

— Thu, 2nd August 2012 —

Our friends at Louis Purple on Lafayette St. recently decided to focus exclusively on made-to-measure. As such, the shop needs to part with its ready-made (ready-to-wear, off-the-rack) stock. The event is going down Friday through Monday, 8/3-8/6. “These are our very last samples…Everything must be gone by Monday!” we’re told. (Translation: Bring your negotiating skills.) Officially, suits will be priced at $300; jackets and raincoats at $150; cufflinks at $45; etc.

Barneys Warehouse Sale (Online)

— Wed, 1st August 2012 —

Brace yourselves… for the biggest (and most criticized) sale of the year. No, Barneys Warehouse Sale isn’t coming to NYC until later this month, but, according to Racked.com, Barneys plans to kick off the online portion of the sale (yes, there’s an online portion, this year) tomorrow morning, 8/2, at 9am. No official confirmation from Barneys on that, and Racked.com wasn’t loading as of Wednesday afternoon — likely due to a flood of interest in the report.
