Gilt Groupe: the sample sale moves digital
There isn’t much more “New York” than the sample sale. Riding the freight elevator to some random loft space with a group of people who look like they’re willing to go to battle over the right shirt is an experience to behold. Of course, it’s also rather unpleasant as far as shopping experiences go. You might be getting boutique names, but for the price, you’re sure not getting boutique service…
Now you don’t have to deal with any of that though; the sample sale has now gone digital. Thanks to Gilt Groupe, all you need now is a few quick clicks to grab that coveted piece. And you can do it all from the comfort of your own computer.
Established last year, Gilt Groupe is already garnering pieces from some of the top names in fashion. This week’s sales feature Zac Posen, Ralph Lauren Purple Label, and John Hardy jewelry, among others. (Last week’s line-up featured Rag & Bone.)
Sound too good to be true? Well, its not, but there are a couple of catches… They sell out FAST (and, unfortunately, their remind emails are always late), so if you’re excited about a designer, set a remind for yourself and hop online as soon as the sale starts.
AND, Gilt Groupe is invite only. Luckily, I have invites to spare. If you’re interested, leave your email address in comments or drop us a line and we’ll get ya set up!
