I would say about 30%. Maybe more on the odd thing. But some of the stuff is really man-handled. If you love scarves and ties, it is usually a good sale. But you rarely find a cashmere or mousseline (the first ones in the door scoop every one up -- I've seen it done right in front of me on more than one occasion).

I always think that I won't go, and then I remember the year I didn't go and people got a constance. Just my bad timing....
Don't worry, there won't be any leather bags. Those few years when there were a lot of bags are long gone. They only appeared because of he financial crisis in 2008/2009. This year is not good economically but h has managed their inventory better to no have th surplus. That's why we don't see much in the stores these days. We just don't get the allocations we used to in the US
You only need an invitation to the private sale, the first afternoon. The rest of the time it is open to the public.
Thanks lulilu! But do you know how to get the invitation to the private sale? What do I have to do to get on that list? My lunch break is so short, can't afford to wait in line. Last time I went and saw the line was all the way to the other corner, so I just turned back since I knew there is no way I could get in before my break is over.
My SA has always sent them to me. But let me assure you that the wait to get into the private sale is often hours long as well. In fact, once the first few days pass, it is a lot shorter wait.
they are also adding new merchandise every day... some things may be limited
but they do add... so if you miss the first day, would try another day..

What time is everyone getting there tomorrow? I hope to be in line by 9 but have to deal with rush hour and the Cross Bronx to get into the city.
Or wish there's one in Chicago
I totally agree HM -- I have always gone, for so many years, and always came home with something special - until SH took over. Once they got involved, instead of goodies, I came home with a headache!
So, this time, I am not going to bother - Best of luck to the rest of you!!
I hope H gives SH the boot!!
