i hate NY...we never have any good sample sales here in San Francisco...

I cant beleive they have a website like that. If anyone goes I would like to know what it was like. The last invite only designer sale I went to was a waste of time but then again it was GA.

I've been to one before and I'm going next week to this one. It's hit or miss but I need shoes for a wedding so I'm gonna check it out.

Indeed, Bay Area sales are all pathetic.

I got a sneak peek of the sale today. (I work in the building and we share some storage space with Prada). I didn't get a chance to look too closely or check out prices or anything, but it looks like they have quite a bit of merchandise. About 20 or so racks of apparel (trench coats, button-ups, tees, etc), maybe a dozen racks of shoes, and a load of bags, including mens messengers and duffles. Overall, id say it'll be worth checking out for sure.

Thanks for the info.

crap just when I'm really sweating the prada vernice sfumata pumps. they retail for $595, curious to know what the sale price is. if anyone goes can you find out for me?

[the_state]

does someone care to explain this one to me...

NO CASH!

[axtsang]

^^^^^^ For obvious reasons...

- Can you imagine how much cash there would be at the end of the day? High risk of getting held up / robbed.

- They've got no time or effort to check every bill for counterfeits.

Plus, I would think they want to encourage more buying and most of thier customers probably use credit anyway. Who want's to carry thousands in cash?

[axtsang]

Splurging with credit cards = Avion points galore!

Win win situation! Yayyyyy!

Not. Fucking CC bills.

Thanks for the info Neuman.

Any update on this and what's left?

[MikeN]
