Remember the days before Gilt Groupe and Groupon, where if you wanted to score an amazing deal on top brands you actually went to a brick and mortar sample sale? There was always something so exciting about the surprise of finding out when one was happening and arriving to a room full of possibilities. Don’t get me wrong – I appreciate having steady access to great deals on the internet, but nothing beats a real life sample sale. And this week, there are two!
If you work in the Union Square/FiDi area, or have easy access to those areas on Thursday or Friday:
How far will you go for a great deal? to San Rafael?
On Saturday the Real Real is opening up their San Rafael Warehouse to give you up to 90% off on Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Dolce & Gabbana, etc. To get an idea of what they carry, visit the Real Real online.
The RealReal Warehouse
3095 Kerner Blvd., Suite M
San Rafael, CA
Call 415-455-9300 for more information.
Neither of these sample sales are as easy to get to as simply checking your email, but I would bet the rewards are worth the effort.
