I checked this sample sale out today and left with a decent bag of goodies. In prep for my sailing trip to Honduras in just over a week, I settled on a new bikini (Insight, $45), plus a card wallet with neck strap so I can keep that precious plastic close to my body and safe from would-be thieves (WESC, $19). Also threw in a couple shirts for good measure ($20, $30). (Ha, I just added that up – they actually charged me $115 total. I guess I contributed $1 to their coffee fund. Count your change, if you care.)
Bikinis, footwear, both winter/snow gear, summer clothes, bags and accessories – you name it, it’s likely there. This sample sale is just what it advertises to be, though – a sample sale. No duplicates registered on my radar at all. Size Medium/32 for menswear and S/4/27 for womenswear. Watch the bikini sizing, the ’8′ actually translates to a North American ’4′ – and go prepared wearing tights or a complete lack of modesty because there is only one lone bathroom for changing in and the lineup isn’t very swift moving. Hopefully they sort out the one-mirror-only situation by the weekend, but bring a friend to be your full-body mirror instead just in case.
They had a few signs up for “buy two get one free” on some items so they might be open to a haggle if you’re buying in larger quantities, something to keep in mind when you stop at the bank to cash up. Might not be a bad idea to swoop up all the winter wear they had in stock, many nice sweaters to be found. No debit or credit accepted, though they do have an ATM on site.
South side on Railway, just near corner of Dunlevy. Happy shopping!
