Sample Sale Déja Vu:John Varvatos...Again

Wait, we're confused.
Didn't we just go to a John Varvatos sample sale less than two weeks ago?
Really, this just goes to prove that if you live in New York, you never have to pay retail.
Yes, there was a Varvatos sale a couple of weeks back, and it was pretty extensive, and held in the Varvatos Flatiron District showroom. This time around, however, the sale is held in a somewhat less luxurious retail space in the garment district, and from what we can gather, the leftovers from the first sale have been taken over by an outfit called Underground NYC, who is now running its own sale. Typically, this would result in a dreary array of picked over, shopworn, out of season goods. We've been lured to more than a few of those cobbled together affairs, and they can really feel like scraping the bottom of the barrel.
The good news is: This isn't like that at all, at least not yet.
There was a pretty abundant looking display of goods, and although the impressive shoe selection was absent here, there was lots of everything else, and the prices looked about the same as they did in the showroom sale (which means that they should drop by the end of the week.)
If you couldn't make the last one, this sale runs through this Friday the 23^rd.
Happy second chance shopping.
