You know it's a party when they're giving out branded water. Really, though, the James Perse sample sale is the nicest event we've been to in months. A modern, seductively-lit venue; polite staff and fellow shoppers; separate entrance on the south side of 16th Street (about halfway between 9th & 10th); a clear separation between men's and women's wear; clearly priced stock -- This sale's superior to most Madison Avenue shopping experiences. Oh, and the stock ain't bad either -- think high-end logo-less basics -- and there's plenty of it... all at 80% off.Price List:
- Polos - $40
- Long-Sleeve Tees - $60
- Pants - $70
- Sweatshirts - $80
- Hooded Sweatshirts - $90
- Down Coats - $105
- Other Outerwear - $129
- Shorts - $30-$50
James Perse Sample Sale - Prive Designer Space - Chelsea Market - 75 9th Ave between between 15th & 16th - Fri & Sat 10am-9pm, Sun 10am-4pm - Map
Any short sleeve t shirts? Looking for the super lightweight tees - unbelievably soft and comfortable, feels like almost nothing
ReplyDeleteYour math is off. The prices you have listed aren't more than about 50% off, judging by retail prices on Barneys.com.
ReplyDeleteExcept the outerwear. Those prices are bigger discounts.
ReplyDeleteAnon #1 - Yep, you'll find plenty of short sleeve Tees.
ReplyDeleteAnon #2 - We were told everything was 80% off, but you could be right. We didn't independently compare the sale prices to retail.
Just as a warning, some of the classic line short and long sleeve tshirts appeared to be damaged. Maybe I was unlucky, but about half the samples I picked through had these strange off color splotches on front, almost like a set got hit with bleach or the like.
ReplyDeleteIn fairness, I think this was reflected in the price...many of the said shirts have a $20/30 price, far less than the $50/60 I saw common for unmarred long sleeves. Just be careful inspecting the merch.
ReplyDeleteFor those of you unfamiliar with JP, they have a line called custom that has paint and bleach splatter. I think it was a great sale. I got 3 super soft polos, a long sleeve white button up, and a long sleeve for under $200.00.
ReplyDeleteFabulous!
anyone see what kinda outerwear? looking for a heavy/warm overcoat (not traditional, but to wear over biz casual) for next winter. just seeing what is left out there if I can find one. prob too late.
ReplyDeleteI love JP and did not see the splattered paint\bleach collection but if it is mistaken for damaged goods then the collection obviously should have been rethought.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the warning about damaged goods. Because of that I thoroughly examined everything I bought and put back 3 items that had small holes. Unless of course someone is going to tell me that JP had a "Holes" collection as well :-)
Does anyone know if they've been restocking?
