Sample Sale Mother Load

If you don't live in New York, I suggest you book a trip because s**t's about to get real. Are you sitting down? Brace yourself.

Both an Acne and a Proenza Schouler sample sale are upon us.

I know. I know. Breathe. And take comfort that Sutton and I have a guide to scoring at sample sales in the works.

Acne:

12pm to 7pm, Monday, August 27th through Friday, August 31st
at
401 Broadway between Lispenard & Walker Streets, 22nd Floor

Proenza:

10am to 6pm, Tuesday, August 28th through Wednesday, August 29th
at
82 Mercer Street between Spring & Broome Streets
Oh, and according to MizHattan, prices at Proenza start at $20. Boom.

Handbags and Hugs,

Astor

Our Story

We are Sutton and Astor Van Brigsby. We were born and raised on Park Avenue, a mere hop, skip and 30-second ride with our driver, Morton, from Fifth Avenue. Oh, yes, there was a time when our daily shopping trips were what chick-flick montages were made of – sales assistants scurried at our beck and call, we did lots of twirling in front of fitting room mirrors without spilling our glasses of champagne, and doormen helped Morton help us into the car with stacks of hatboxes – which had shopping bags of clothing and shoes inside of them, because we’re not really into hats. But our designer RTW-filled reality came crashing to a traumatizing end when our father went ballistic one day – WHY we do not know – and cut up our credit cards. Apparently, it bothered him that we had spent his secretary’s annual salary in one trip to Bergdorf. He completely cut us off, I mean stone cold. With the exception of health insurance, cell phone bills, cable and electricity, we are COMPLETELY on our own. Left to our own devices to stay as well dressed as before but on a salary that doesn’t even compare to our past allowance. So, I, Astor, took a job in fashion and Sutton took a job in beauty. It is all we know and love, after all, and we figured that way we would have our bases covered with discounts – what else is a girl to do? If you’re like us, trying to keep a closet stocked with the kind of stuff Bill Cunningham will notice you in on a less-than-desirable salary, join us, won’t you? We’ll support each other, we’ll have cry fests over things we can’t have – and we’ll come up with ways to make the number of those things less and less by hunting sample sales, scouring the internet for discounts and even DIYing up our own versions. We WILL get through this together.
