Sample Sale Serves up Hot Fashion to Bargain Shoppers

Designer clothing Sample Sales are not just for New York’s fashion elite. Specialty boutiques from across the United States are participating in a large warehouse Sample Sale to be held in Mebane, NC. My Overstock Boutique is sponsoring the February 15th Sample Sale at the 828 Trollingwood Hawfields location just off of I40/I85.
Meg Thomas, the owner of My Overstock Boutique and former owner of The Stock Exchange in Chapel Hill explains why the unexpected location works. “Mebane is located at the center of several important shopping demographics including University students and professionals with designer clothing tastes but smart buying habits. Although you pass tractors and cows,” says Thomas “the warehouse is only minutes off of the interstate”.
During the last 6 months My Overstock Boutique has recruited specialty boutiques from across the United States to participate in selling their overstocks and samples. Over 40 boutiques are particating. Thomas notes that the 8000 sq ft warehouse houses over 5600 pieces of designer clothing. All are marked at least 50% off of retail prices. “Due to the downturn in retail sales, boutiques have an unusually large number of overstocks,” explains Thomas. My Overstock Boutique sells the new inventory on consignment and plans on returning 50% of the total sales to the boutiques.
The large Sample Sale is scheduled for February 15th 11am-6pm, February 16th 10am-6pm and February 17th 1pm-5pm. Credit cards and cash are the forms of payment accepted. Admittance is free.
Directions to the warehouse are: take I40 West from Raleigh Durham Chapel Hill. I40W merges with I85. Continue towards Greensboro. Take exit 152, Trollingwood Rd. Take a right off of the exit, pass cows and tractors, and travel straight through first intersection with stop sign. The warehouse is the 2nd on the right.
Some of the designers on the menu at this sample sale are: BCBG, Trina Turk, Nanette Lepore, Hollywould, Beverly Feldman, Little Joe, Rachel Pally, Ella Moss, Citizens of Humanity, Lacoste, Seven, and so many more!
