Early Holiday Deals at Los Angeles, NY & Web Designer Sample Sales

Early holiday shopping and the marketing push for Black Friday have already started.  This holiday season consumers are expected to spend more than ever before.  One great way to get value for for your money, especially on fashion items, is to shop the designers’ own sales at their outlet stores.   Joe Katz, a  Los Angeles personal shopper  recently spoke to CBS LA’s Suzanne Marques on where to find the best brands at a deep discount.  “I feel like I’m giving my secrets away,” Katz said.  “A lot of people don’t know that a lot of designers actually have factory stores.”    Some of the stores Mr. Katz mentioned have been on our radar a long time (Guess, Ella Moss and Splendid.) Others are worth a new look.  And, we found some sales not on Mr. Katz’s list that merit a look.
