Ferragamo sample sale

Update: Awesome comment from a reader
Men's shoes $139, women's shoes $99, silk scarf $69, tie $59, jewelry $29 or was it $39, plus handbags of various prices. Sale is not that great, I saw better prices in woman's shoes in President's weekend in Woodbury Common's Ferragamo outplet. There is a long line outside the building. I got there at 9am sharp and waited 3 hours to get in. Line is not that long, but moves very very slow bcause no one came out. Problem comes that they have mixed shoe boxes on tables sorted by sizes. Worst of all, they stack up 2 boxes and have size label (A, B, C, D, EE, etc.) facing the workers, not the customer, so every customer has to flip throught all the boxes to see what are in the bottom boxes. I think they did that deliberately playing psychology. Since I spent 3 hours waiting in line, I feel I have to buy a lot to make my time worth it, but later regret that decision, sort of. Almost everyone think the same way, everyone came out with boxes and bags bigger than mine. I mean every one.
I love being able to sweet-talk my husband into going to these sales with me, and it definitely helps when they are a) an awesome designer, and b) for men as well as women. The Ferragamo sale fits the bill. Get shoes, leather goods, RTW & accessories up to 80% off retail. See you there!
