NYC Kooba Sample Sale
***UPDATE UPDATE: I dropped by the sale after work and there are still plenty of bags left. Even the Sample Room had dozens of bags waiting to be purchased. Again, many were damaged. Each sample bag was tied with a ribbon color, depending on the color, the prices were $150, $100 or $50 $65. This time around I also noticed new non-sample bags in the Sample Room. For example, the lavender Tylers were $25. The bag isn’t very attractive which is why it’s unloading for a measly $25 (hmmm….Christmas present for an auntie? for a purple color lover?). All the black motorcycle jackets are gone. However, there are plenty of white and metallic bronze ones left. The clothes also seemed untouched – Shirts for $10, Dresses for $25. Belts were going for $15 but I couldn’t find a single one. There were also plenty of wallets left for $75. Sadly, most of the cute medium sized clutches were gone. The Courtney and pleated clutches were the few remaining styles left. The good news is that one of the associates said they will be replenishing tomorrow, but are uncertain of the styles. Go early tomorrow if you plan to go!

It was madness during lunch hour at the Kooba sale. There were boxes full of new bags spread across a decent size room. Off to the side was a smaller room with samples. Each bag was tied with a ribbon color, depending on the color, the prices were $150, $100 or $50. There are some great deals to be had in the sample room but be careful. There is discoloration, rips and markings on the bags. I saw a girl holding a gorgeous light color bag but on the other side of it was scribbles with style numbers in permanent market.
There were tons of clutches and small bags ranging from $40 to $75. There was a wide selection of larger leather and suede bags as well and included styles such as Ryder, Madison, Brett, Blake, Madison, Dale and much more. The suede bags felt a little heavy. Most of the bigger bags were around $250.
Near the door was a rack of leather jackets for $75. This was the best deal at the sale. Tons of 3/4 sleeve leather jackets left. I saw a few cute black motorcycle jackets but only in Large. Bummer.
