Worth the wait: Great bargains on beautiful pieces at the Catherine Malandrino New York City Sample Sale.

There’s a bit of a line-up, but well worth it for 75-90% off Catherine Malandrino’s unique and colorful Spring/Summer 09 line.

Catherine Malandrino Sample Sale

One thing you can always count on Catherine Malandrino for is uniqueness - even her basic black dresses are never just basic black dresses. She adds just enough artistic details to make each piece feel special, but still wearable. Her Spring/Summer 09 collection was no different and this week’s sample sale has plenty of artful pieces at amazing prices.

A long printed dress in bold colors is $125
A bad-ass napa leather motorcycle jacket is $140
An irresistibly sexy pencil skirt with a detailed hemline is $60!

That’s just to name a few.

There is a good range of  every item in every size. The product is well-organized and easy to navigate. And there’s plenty of space to try stuff on.  I was there at 10am when it opened and had to wait about 20 minutes. I would anticipate the line will get longer during the day. But I’ve seen much worse and this one is definitely worth it. Travel as light as possible - you have to check your bag and there’s also a lengthy wait for that. Hey, that’s sample sale-ing life!
