Ok, so us non-US ppl don’t have manic Black Friday sales where people are setting up tents and queuing up around the block, waiting for stores to open with their ultra-slashed prices. But the always-wicked, always-fantastico Fashion East sale has arrived and will be on through the weekend. Go forth and get LFW-designer merry…. and say hello as I’ll be there huddling up with a cup of mulled wine….
**EDIT** I didn’t want to post multiple sample sale alerts but this one couldn’t really be left off…
Vivienne Westwood
Vivienne Westwood is holding a Warehouse sale for one day only at the Westwood Studios.
When: 24 November 2007 – 24 November 2007
Where: Westwood Studios, 9-15 Elcho Street, London SW11 4AU
Sale Times: 10am-4.30pm
Website: www.viviennewestwood.com
I must warn people who are going that Vivienne Westwood-mad fans (gaggles of Japanese/HK/Korean girls…) get there WELL in advance of the doors opening and the queues are scarily long. I may not venture out into the chilly weather for this one but if you get there early enough, ye shall be rewarded…
how i detest not being a londoner!
aye with alyson! how i long to be in london!
Hi susie, sorry to be totally off topic, but I’m looking for a site that you blogged about aeons ago and I’ve lost the bookmark – where you got that black tee with a cut-out gold brocade-y…window… I think you’re wearing it in your grazia pic? I think there’s some kind of comic on the site too…? Doing my head in trying to remember it!
i wanted to say exactly the same as alyson, and raq. whew.
Oh, this looks scrumptious but I have work today and by the time I finish the sale would’ve been open for 5 hours already. To those who’ve been to this particular sale before – do you you think there’ll be a better selection this evening after 5 or tomorrow morning when maybe they’ve added more stock?
Lala… don’t worry…I’m going tomorrow…. it is a sale for three days, they won’t run out of things just like that…
does anyone know what the discounts are like? do they have footwear there too?
Just when I swear to save money, I’m doomed. But how can a girl resist sample sales..
ahh, I AM in London tomorrow to go to V&A Couture and Tate….I would ditch these plans in favour of Vivienne Westwood but alas won’t be there early enough to queue. Torture!
Regarding the V. Westwood sale, shoes are rather limited unless you get there first…. discounts are pretty hefty – up to 90% I’ve seen!

The label is Graey!
sorry…me again. Can you pay by card or does it have to be cash? Thanks!
Have just been into the Fashion East sale – not massive amounts of stuff but some lovely Emma Cook dresses and lots of Peter Jensen and Jens Laugesen (at least, there was this afternoon… ). They take cards but even today the queue was very long and slow so allow plenty of time…
Sorry, mean the queue to pay, not to get in – due to a very slow system and broken till
Emma, thanks for the report! Jamster, you can pay by card at both sales…(abeit slowly…!)
Oh Suzie you’re killing me. I’m on a job in Toronto and totally missed this.
