Why are there no sample sales in Scotland?

[Spidergirl8]

Just that really! I read about all of these amazing sample sales in London but there never seems to be anything in Scotland. I've only come across Boden and Pringles, neither really my thing.

Anyone know if there are any sales and how do you find out about them?

I know, its annoying! I dont know of any up here. :(

There is loads- a lot of indie designers, ultimo, urban outfitters to name but a few. You just need to keep your ear to the ground!

Ooh- Mrscumberbatch, tell me your secrets....

I regret my ear is currently on the wrong ground!

Ultimo sale is once or twice a year at the factory in college Milton.
There's also sample sales in Sloans that are ticketed- follow Sloans on fb/twitter etc
Otherwise indie brands like obscure couture, abandonship et al hold their sample sales in store.

More when I think of them!

What is a sample? Sample sale?

Thank you Mrscumberbatch, I'm going to follow your tips! A sample sale is where goods are heavily discounted because they are last season, ex display or indeed produced as samples and never put on mainline range.
