Boden sample sale -- worth it?

october2004

I know Lisa went last year, and maybe a few others. What did you think? Would you go again? How bad were the crowds? And how good were the deals?! ;-)

I am normally very crowd-adverse, but this appeals to me for some reason.

Thanks,

Jen

I loved it. I was so sad I wasn't able to go this year.

I got great deals. I pretty much haven't gotten new clothes in the past 18 months because I did so well at the sale. I got a pair of boots, two pairs of shoes, a leather blazer, 5 dresses, 2 pairs of jeans, two pairs of pants, two or three skirts and two mens dress shirts for about $500. 

 The crowds weren't insane.  I got there about 30 minutes before it started and got in as soon as it opened.

Are you looking to go to the one in Eastern PA? I've heard they're more crowded.

I went last year and it wasn't bad. I definitely got some good deals. I also had cash, which helped immensely since that was a separate line that was super short. I went later, maybe 2 hours after it started. Some things were picked over (shoes, accessories) but clothes wise, they brought out new stuff all the time.

Thanks, girls. The PGH sale is 5/25, from 10-4 at the Convention Center.

I haven't gotten notice of this yet. I feel unloved. For the winter one they sent me a special card in the mail that even had a coupon.
