CÉLINE Private Sample Sale

Oh, wow! That is certainly very strict. I only went once to a Friends and Family sale and I was so overwhelmed that I definitely took more than 2 hours to look, try and decide!
Well, I certainly hope that you can find some pretty good deals. Did you go for one before and what was the experience like?

Oh! I wonder how they can fit so many employees in 2 hours! It'll be a mad house. So exciting, though and I can't wait for your report.
So exciting, sending you good vibrations and lots of luck to find pieces you love! If you see anything in my wishlist, (don't) tell me! LOL. I would have been first in line too.

OK PHEW. (borrowing images from google, cause I didn't have time to take very many at the sale).
Discounts as posted earlier:
Bags: 60% off
SLGs: 70% off
Shoes: 75% off
RTW: 70% off
Sale was primarily RE12 & SS12, crapload of RTW that no one was really buying because 70% off a several thousand dollar shirt is still a lot of money.
BAGS:
There were a few of the frame bag

Drawstring bucket
xx
2 large box bags with shearling flap (3k+)
An ENTIRE wall of the vertical/horizontal cabas totes in a million color combos and prints (plain leather and exotics), the plain leathers were 1200, so 480 after the discount which is major.
SHOES:
What I remember, a lot of the pointy wedge (in white w/ black heel, snakeskin, white w/ red captoe)
http://polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=77226403
Some cute flats, ankle boots with the zipper

AND out of the whole wall of shoes, I found a pair of white leather bam bams which I obviously snapped up
!!!
Aside from all that, there were a pile of the zippered envelope clutches
and some other seasonal bags. No phantoms, luggage, trapeze, etc in sight.
I ended up just picking up the white leather bam bam sandals & a vertical cabas tote for a coworker who was out of town.

Wow, thanks for the report. And unless you are a HUGE fan of the RTW, the prices can really turn you off from buying! And I'm glad you found yourself the white Bam Bams, those look really cool! I'm sure the classic black ones were not on sale!
Is the sale over? Would they restock?

the lady managing the line said it ends tomorrow, but each LVMH company they invited gets an allotted time slot to shop. mine was 11am-1pm today. do you work for a LVMH fashion company?
sale ends tomorrow, and i was originally mistaken about the all of LVMH employees from 11-1 thing; found out while in line that the 11-1pm slot was just reserved for my company and that there would be separate 2 hour time shifts for the other companies invited.
lady managing line said they are restocking throughout sale while supplies last. she also said there would be another one in november, and it's gonna be a biannual affair from now on!
and yeah those were the only pair of bam bams, period.

My company's shopping time is tomorrow 1-3 pm.
Your report is super helpful, thanks a lot!
What was the shopping limit like? 1 bag per person?
