Sample Sale Report: KAS New York

If you're thinking about dropping by the KAS sample sale in midtown make sure you're a size small.  While there are a few pieces that are in other sizes, for most part 95% of the sale are actual samples in size small.  For most part there are only a couple of each style at the sample sale but racks are well laid out according to category and easy to sift through.

All sales are final and prices range between $20-70.  Most pieces I looked at were in the $30-$40 range.  Prices are color coded on the tag and easy to identify.  There was also a small selection of cami's for just $4 in knit/woven as well as a box of pashmina scarves for $40 a piece.  The sale was well lit with natural light and there was only a couple shoppers when I dropped by during lunch.  If you're looking for clothing with bold embroideries / mixed prints this is a great sale to snag goods at a reasonable price.
