In my view, there's no better way to start off a brand new month than with a designer shoe sample sale. If you're in agreement, you'll be jumping with absolute elation when you read this. The bi-annual Manolo Blahnik sample sale is scheduled for this Thursday, May 1st. That's right, my fellow Mizhattanites. In just over 2 days' time you'll be able to get your hands on some lovely shoe goodies at insane discounts. But before you fall out of your seat with uncontrollable excitement, there is something I want to remind you of. Manolo Blahnik's corporate office almost pulled the plug on their epic sales due to the massive turnout of shoppers and the ensuing chaos & misbehaviors. So please~~~ let's behave primark deutschland ourselves. As for prices, basic pumps should start as low as $100 (just like last November's sale ). If you want a refresher, these are a few snapshots I took: here , here , and here . Finally, remember to stay in the loop by following primark deutschland Mizhattan on Twitter . I'll be tweeting line updates and other notable happenings from inside the sale. Happy Shopping! Where: Warwick Hotel, 65 W 54th St. (near 6th Ave.), 2nd Floor When:   Thursday, May 1st, 12pm {Image credit: CR Fashion Book }
How long was the wait last year if I arrived around 12pm? Reply Delete
They re going back to the schedule they always had pre a Sandy. It changed that year when they rescheduled. It always used to be private shop on a Thurs at 9 and then public opening when the private shoppers were done. The invites went out yesterday for private sale at 9. Delete
I am sadden by this news.12pm is the starting time?! I was planning to come in early before work as I always had in the past, but May 2013's fiasco changed all of that :( Amid all the craziness last year, I won't be surprised if one day they get rid of the public day sale altogether. Thanks a lot psycho hoarders. primark deutschland You've really ruined a true gem ;( Reply Delete

Tomorrow will be my first sample say (yay!) so are the prices a flat rate or do they tax the purchase? What would be the best time to get in line? Is 9 too late? I want to be as close to the front as possible. Also, did any see any BB's at last years sale? I'm a 40 so I'm hoping the selection will be decent Reply Delete
They tax after the purchase. Last year I got a $150 pair that turned into $163 with the taxes. I saw a few BBs, but very, very little selection. And about the time... You never know, it depends on how many people go. Just trust your instincts. Delete
I went 2 or 3 years ago and bought a pair of solid mary janes (the exact pair in this posting photo www.mizhattan.com/2013/11/sample-sale-manolo-blahnik.html) for $100. Since it was below $110 I wasn't charged tax. Delete primark deutschland
Update! They have returned to the original sale protocol. The small ballrooms are open to sit and wait (no outside) they are back to giving out tickets for groups to go in 10 at a time. VIP first. My friend is waiting there for group 2 public. She said it's very organized, and only about 30 people there. (Threat of waiting in the rain must have scared everyone off!) Glad to hear the sale is once again orderly! Reply Delete
Hi - I have a pair that I would like to sell at cost (They're really a bit too small for me, but in the heat of the moment I decided to make the purchase). It's $120 + tax. If interested, please email me at mishellybb@gmail.com. Thanks. primark deutschland Reply Delete
Was there for the public sale this morning... bought 2 pairs, but overall was really frustrating. I was in by 11:30 (they started public sale at 11), and there were a group of 4-5 Asian girls HOARDING like crazy. They literally sat between two of the size 37 tables with ~30 pairs of great shoes and would not let anyone near -- even though there were maybe only 10-15 pairs left on each table. They were actively chatting in Chinese about which pairs would be the most marketable (so definitely planning to resell!) Even the sale staff asked them to either put the shoes back or pay, but they were just very defensive and difficult... Ugh. Pretty disappointed that this was allowed to happen. Reply Delete
I was in group 3 and still by the time I got in 37-size table was almost all clear. I couldn't find at least one decent pair in my size. But you are absolutely right to point that were lots of shoes on the floor guarded by small group of girls. primark deutschland Delete
Waste of time. I got there at 10 and was in group 16. People were still hoarding the "old lady" shoes they had left. One chick snatched a pair right out of my hands. I need to find a way to get on the email list because unless you're in group 1/2 it's not worth it. They had BB's and chaos sandals too :-( Reply Delete
