John Varvatos, Operations Sample Sale

— Fri, 5th November 2010 —

Officially through Sunday, 11/07, that never-ending sample sale spot on 5th Ave. & 28th is unloading tons of stock from John Varvatos and (defunct brand) Operations. If you can’t make it this weekend, though, expect these guys to still be hocking leftovers months from now.

Update: Expect to find Varvatos and Operations stock, but no new shipments, or anything out of the ordinary, a sale reps tells us. Repeat, this is anything but a blowout event. That is all.
