Shoes and scarves were obviously prized but there were limits as to how many you can buy. I didn’t see anyone live shopping - in fact it was overly peaceful during my time slot. A lot of best friends (like me!) shopping together and comparing notes. When it came to the loudest individuals, my observation of course and during the 5-6pm slot, it had to be the husbands. No joke.
Very comprehensive, thank you!Thoughts about day 1:
It appeared to be quite the controlled scene when I arrived at the venue, maybe because I chose the last slot of the day or because I had a glass of wine 20 minutes before arrival (my office is a 5 minute walk away).
Check in was quick - a person manned the closed front door, you show your email with QR code, you are directed inside to the right to check in before checking in your coat. You can hang on to your bag for the shopping - I recall last year having to check in my bag. A white paper shopping bag is handed to you upon entrance to the SHOW. Last year it was a transparent plastic bag.
The layout was the same: shoes lining left perimeter, cashiers to the front right, silks/scarves and RTW occupy the center, bracelets on the far right wall and dressing rooms in the back.
The selection was decent.
Silks/scarves were definitely circa 2019, with some designs making a reappearance from last year’s sale! There were 90s, 100s, 140s, giant triangles and Twillys.
RTW was okay - I’m a 36 or 38 and didn’t find too much that made me ooh and ahhh.
Bracelets were really random when it came to leathers. Really random styles. The bigger variety came via enamels - hinged and bangles.
Ties, hats, swimwear, and baby shoes/towels were also available.
In the end, I was a little more stressed about leaving my puppy at home while I shopped…and distracted because my best friend (the +1) was having a major case of indecision regarding all the items she had in her bag.
I walked out with a pair of orans and a men’s cashmere muffler. Walked out meaning I paid and exited
My mini haul, I was done within the 1st half of the hour.
This is super helpful, thank you! HugsThoughts about day 1:

I picked up the duels oniriqies (green) and the mountain zebras (blk/wht) my lighting isn't great. Haha.
Pls let us know! I’m on UES and can join you in line if getting in is a possibility! Can buy you a coffee for the trouble!
