Sample Sale Report: Vivienne Tam August 2011

Stopped by the Vivienne Tam Sample Sale over lunch today and as per usual, it wasn’t too busy. The sale was divided into 2 rooms – the large room for archival vintage pieces and the smaller room for stock from recent seasons. There were quite a few of ladies excitedly clamoring over racks of samples, so while it made taking photos a challenge, it wasn’t too difficult to shop. As per usual there are no fitting rooms but 2 large mirrors set up against the wall in both rooms.

Vivienne-Tam-Sample-Sale-2011 (1)Vivienne-Tam-Sample-Sale-2011 (2)

This time around the sale is a bit different because the company has unearthed samples from the archives and are selling them to the public at outstanding prices. These are rare vintage pieces that date back to the 70s and 80s. Some of the rare samples that are marked with a large “SAMPLE” tag are actually worked on and crafted by Vivienne Tam herself. Can you imagine owning something that personal? Hand embroideries, mesh and coated paper pieces are just some of the signature Tam pieces you can find. Prices of archival pieces start at $30 and go up to $180. Everything is marked “As Is” so inspect your purchases if you are shopping from this section. Sizes for the archival pieces are sized Small, however there are a few pieces from the 80s that definitely look a bit oversized. Generally speaking however, unlike previous sales that carried sizes 0 to 10, most of the sizes above 6 have sold out already.

Sample Sale Report: Vivienne Tam April 2011

IMAG0547IMAG0549IMAG0552IMAG0551IMAG0592

Checked out the Vivienne Tam Sample Sale over lunch today and although there were about 10 or so shoppers, the sale was relatively quiet, with room to maneuver and navigate yourself to one of the 6 mirrors around the floors. Be warned as there are no fitting rooms, so this sample sale is not for the shy, although you could always don the ubiquitous sample sale uniform (leggings & tank top) to try things over. As always staffers were friendly and greeting everyone with a smile. There is a coat/large bag check but it’s optional to check purses.

IMAG0528

As soon as you enter the sale at the front desk there are 6 styles of shoes that are only $60 a pop. They sizes range from 36-39 depending on the style but if you are a 38 or 39 you wil have better luck with the sizes. They are also selling Cotton Butterfly scarves for $15 and peony print bags for $30. A sign reminding you to pick up your Mother’s Day gift seems to be a good idea.

IMAG0611

There also is a Tee for Japan that is still unavailable but you can pre-order it fro $25 a pop. All profits from this tee will go towards the Japanese Red Cross.

IMAG0531IMAG0533IMAG0535

So for the dresses there were plenty of racks across a variety of sizes. The most prevalent being the small size (0-2) with about 5 racks of dresses, Size Medium (4-6) with 4 racks of dresses and Size Large (8-10) with 4 racks of dresses. Prices varied from $40 you could snag a Tee shirt dress with shoulder treatment or for $180 (down from $53) you could snag a signature butterfly printed stretch satin number from Spring 2010. The sample sale also hosted some current season Spring 2011 merchandise which although significantly is more than the older stock, is still a great discount from current store pricing. The dresses that were in this category retail for $595, but at the sample sale are available for $395 a pop. The embroidered lace and macramé rope detailing make this merchandise look really fresh and special.

IMAG0577IMAG0593IMAG0594

Denim Jacket $250, was $495. Current Season Jacket $350, was $495. Cutout Jacket $60, was $395

There wasn’t a huge selection of jackets at this sale and I only spotted about a couple racks of assorted sizes this time around at the sample sale. However, every jacket had interesting detail on them.

IMAG0596IMAG0589IMAG0583

Leopard Blazer $150, was $495. Palm Skirt $120, was $350. Butterfly skirt $90, was $360.

IMAG0585IMAG0598IMAG0600

Some of the older merchandise has been marked down several times already and you could even find yourself a cut-out blazer for just $60! Many of the skirts hovered in the $90 category but for more ornate versions would go up to $120 while current season skirts were $180.

If you are looking for detail-oriented luxe occasion wear, this would be a great sale to pick up some things with so many great unique dresses that beg to be taken out on the town or to a wedding. Or if you are a fan of bright digital prints or multi-textured daywear. In any scenario if you want to get noticed in a good way, this is your sale. Also make sure you sign up for the mailing list to have a chance to win a pair of Butterfly Monster earbuds!

Sample Sale Report: Vivienne Tam

Stopped by the Vivienne Tam Sample Sale after work. There was a handful of shoppers perusing the racks but there was still plenty of space to look around. Sizing as per usual was broken down into 3 categories – Small (0-2), Medium (4-6) and Large (8-10). The racks were organized by size and commodity (Jackets, Dresses, Skirts, Evening). The space is smaller than the previous sale but I don’t thin there is by any means less merchandise between the 2 medium sized rooms. There is no fitting area and 2 mirrors use available. You must check in your coat but you can carry your purse.

Multi color satin strip dress was $2650, now $195. Fish Sequin Dress was $1835, now $195

By far the best deals at this sale might have been these party dresses and a significant savings of over 90% and nearly 90% off retail.

Applique Neck Jersey Dress was $495, now $90. Satin Strapless Flower Dress was $800, now $275

Dress was $1700, now $395

If you are in need of a LBD for the holidays the Applique Neck Matte Jersey Dress is great option at just $80. However, if you are looking for wow factor, you will find it in some celeb worthy dresses. I’m a particular fan of that little purple number above.

Embroidered Mesh Tunic was $990, $350. Mesh Dress was $260, now $80

Satin Printed Dress was $900, was $295. Satin scale dress was $475, now $180

Other more everyday appropriate dresses range in price from $80-350.

Satin Scale skirt was $350, now $95.Leopard skirt was $325, now $140.

Embroidered Short Sleeve Jacket was $395, now $70. Cargo pocket skirt was $450, now $180.

Skirts range in price from $55-180.

Textured Wool Coat was $495, now $145. Tweed Vest was $475, now $180.

Wool Vest was $395, now $180. Puffer jacket was $595, now $290.

Outerwear is also available in some various styles and ranges in price from $145-290.

Metallic Pointelle Sweater now $90, was $375. Sweater now $80, was $430.

Don’t miss the knitwear section that is right beside the cash register. I also spotted a few zebra mesh leggings by the skirts for $45.

Sale is highly recommended if you are looking for a holiday/party dress to impress. Some of these dresses had me wishing I had an upcoming event!
