I got there around 3 p.m. today, and unfortunately the bargain bins ($20-$60) were already pretty picked through. I was lucky enough to find a beautiful “Caroline” eggplant silk satin clutch for $20. It was slightly dirty around the edges, but you can barely tell, and as A says, That’s like Target prices!” After doing a round on the room, I went back for one last look through the bins and found this “Lotte Lizard Snake Smoke” clutch for $60 (according to the tag it was originally $220 down to $100 down to $60), and I just couldn’t resist.

‘D’ & ‘J’ went around 6/6:30 p.m. and they said it was pretty packed with people, but still easy to navigate through. ‘D’ found this pretty pink mohair purse (Iris Bag) for $100 (marked down from $175 from the sales lady because of the slightly loose button clasp; it retailed at $395). ‘J’ got this pretty quilted “Edie” bag for $40 (marked down from $60, and when it originally came out it was around $400!). They spoke to one of the sales people, and she automatically knocked a few dollars off their items. They didn’t get her name, but she had a band aid on her face :P

‘A’ was the one that went to the sale last year, and she found some great clutches that she uses all the time. She was the one that encouraged us to check it out. So if you need a new clutch or bag, there are some great deals here!
