Orla Kiely sample sale-- has anyone been?

[fruitcorner]

Has anyone been to an Orla Kiely sample sale? Is it worth going, will there be much left if I go after work ?

where??? when??? tell me more....

It's Truman Brewery in London, near Aldgate/Liverpool st etc and is this week, I think Thurs-Sun. Now can you tell me whether it's worth going to?....

I went last December and I thought it was worth it but I got there early. They only let in so many people at a time. I bought a couple of handbags and wallets that were half price. It was at the Truman Brewery off Brick Lane. I've no idea how much they have left later on in the day.

I've gone many times as I like her clothes not the bags so much. Decent bargains to be had -- often a 10 pound rail for summer type clothes.

However, there is usually a crazy line the first day -- even if it rains. Much quieter on the weekends & even on Friday.

Also they last few times they didn't have a dressing room so I go prepared with leggings/a camisole an a layering tops or all of Brick Lane will see your knickers.

It may also help to bring cash -- one time the tills to pay by card where quite long and those paying cash didn't have to wait.

The sale is restocked daily. Maybe not the exact same stuff but there will goods everyday.

Grr. Why is every sodding sample sale in sodding London

The Mulberry sample sale was last week!

Mulberry one was poor this time

I've been twice: once on a weekday evening after work and once on a Saturday. Neither was crowded and there was plenty of merchandise.

At the one earlier this year they did have a side room available as a communal changing room (ie no cubicles). So wear decent underwear!

I went yesterday in the morning it was pretty manic but some great stuff, i loved the AW12 collection so been waiting for this one for a while! I follow them on twitter and saw they re stocked in the afternoon so as I was close by I went back in got even more! very dangerous...but worth a visit!
oh but there was no homeware think they have it all in the Bicester store now
