Fashion - May 2007

Designer Threads for Less

May 28th 2007 03:44
Over the weekend I uncovered what may be the greatest discovery of my shopping life to date. And excuse me if this is old news for you, but I'll bet there's a bunch of you that have never heard of them.

It's called the Seventh Avenue Market (SAM). They have events (both VIP and public) in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. It is the self-professed "ultimate sample sale", and as far as I can tell, they may be right.

Including massively reduced stock from Australian designers such as sass & bide, Willow, Scanlan & Theodore, Marnie Skillings, LifewithBird and Camilla, these sales are an absolute must for fashionistas on a budget.

The great thing about SAM is that it's as close to current season stock as you can get on sale, especially with sass & bide skinny jeans (for $50!!!) which are a staple and don't vary too much season-to-season.

To give you a bit of an idea about the exact level of awesomeness, I went to the invitation-only day on Friday and bought 2 pairs of sass & bide jeans, a sass & bide tee, a sass & bide vest and a Manning Cartell dress, all for $230!!! That's almost how much you'd expect to pay for a single pair of full priced sass & bide jeans!

To be included to invite-only events, all you need do is go to here and register to receive email invitations.

The best way to buy Aussie designers, such as the wonderful Marnie Skillings
