Ebay Fashion Vault

Oh Boy… Ebay has gotten into the online Sample Sale biz!
Ebay has enlisted some of their most trusted sellers and designers to work closely with eBay to bring you Fashion Vault sales events. For a limited time, 48 to 72 hours, exclusive online events will have selected designers on sale by brand authorized Ebay sellers who sell these higher end garment at substantial savings to Ebay members..

The current sale when I cruised the site was Hugo Boss with savings of 60% on tops, jeans, suits, blazers, belts, dress shirts and more. All NWT using Hugo Boss catalog pictures, but from only one seller. These designs come directly from sellers who are authorized by the brand to sell their merchandise. And to make these deals even better, shipping is free.

The discounts seem to be limited to “up to 60% off” and like all online Sample Sales, quantities are limited. But that’s a enough savings along with the Free shipping to more than capture my interest. Do sign up for notifications of the Vault Sales.

If you’re a fashion or Ebay junkie, now you have something new to quench your interest… Ebays Fashion Vault. OY!

TheOutnet.com

Usually when I shop online sample sales I have to be ready right at the top of the sale or I could lose out on my size. Sometimes I am just not available to sit like a jockey at the starting gate to go shopping.

I have discovered a new site that offers many of these sought after designer names at seriously steep discounts that are on sale all the time. The Outnet.com.
Savings here are 40%-80% off with the bulk of goods priced at 50% off. original retail. The designers tend to be higher end/ couture lines, so while the savings are steep, the items can still be pricey.

Recent arrivals include Marc Jacobs concrete jungle print dress for $138 instead of the original $460. A Narcsio Rodiguez satin dress at $855 instead of $2850. A T-Bags graphic print dress at $82 instead of $165 and Mathew Williamson stunning lace embroidered dress at $413 instead of $1375. An Anna Sui lace cocktail dress was $100 instead of $249 and Burberry quilted jacket was $298 instead of $595.

You’ll also find shoes, handbags and other accessories here. I like the red Mulberry shoulder bag for $597 instead of $997 and totally flipped for the Roberto Cavalli Zebra messenger bag at $1295 instead of $2500.

A fun site to cruise for fashion,  even if a $1200 handbag or dress is not a normal purchase for you.
