There are few things shopping addicts love more than a warehouse sale, and the Gilt City’s biannual sale is generally worth the anticipation, with its room full of racks of designer clothing, shoes, accessories, and home decor, at prices up to 80 percent off retail. This year’s event this weekend is promising to live up to the hype with pieces from the collections of Badgley Mischka, Helmut Lang, Vera Wang, Oscar de la Renta, and Carolina Herrera, to name a few.
Tickets are sold for two-hour shopping windows, and they’re priced at $10 on Saturday, June 13, with an option to get in before the crowds with a late-night entrance on Friday, June 12, for $20. All attendees will receive complimentary beverages and snacks while they shop, but if that’s not enough to tempt you, check out a few of the items that will be for sale at crazy reduced prices.
