Sample sale shopping throughout spring and summer could be precisely what your wardrobe needs. Sample sales are small batches of independent or major designers clothing that only go on sale for a short period of time. This is the prime opportunity to get those hard to find items at a fraction of the cost, either to wear sell or keep as a collectors item.

Sample sales tend to happen all over the world. In the UK they tend to occur from June-August and all through the summer period. Your best bet would be to do some research on the sample sales near you.

Typically the sales are set up in large warehouses or in “secret” locations then you are free to browse as much or as little as you like. Make sure you take a decent amount of money with you, some comfortable shoes, a big bag and the desire to shop .
