Just in time for the cooler weather, the biannual warehouse sale hosted by Gilt City DC is coming this Friday to the Dock5 at Union Market. As the venue portends, this is no average warehouse sale. Guests are invited to shop between 7-9 pm Friday evening at prices slashed up to 80 percent on iconic brands like Chloé, Valentino, Derek Lam, Jimmy Choo, Lanvin, and Oscar de la Renta. Sip on complimentary organic iced tea from the Pure Leaf Tea House Collection or celebrate with a dram of SOTO sake. Big bags and coats need to be checked at the door, but that should be more of a convenience than anything else: you’ll need both hands to dig through the racks at this dream sale. Tickets start at $25 for the preview the night of Friday the 23 and fall to $5 by the afternoon of Saturday the 24 and are available at Gilt City’s website.
