Today in Los Angeles: The Divorcee Sale

Here’s an interesting idea for a sale–get a bunch of women going through or preparing for a divorce together and sell off their stuff.  But not just any Divorcees mind you. This sale is in Los Angeles, so these Divorcees include socialites and Hollywood wives. These are not the women that Tammy Wynette famously wailed about in her country song D-I-V-O-R-C-E.  These are the women that Jackie Collins writes about. So, it stands to reason that their cast-offs, might be fabulous cast-ons for savvy shoppers. The Divorcée Sale  is happening today and runs through tomorrow, May 15th,  at the Mondrian Hotel in West Hollywood.  My spies tell me that there have been sightings of Pucci, YSL, Tory Burch, Lanvin, and my beloved Chanel at last night’s VIP preview. According to sale organizer, Jill Alexander, “Prices will range anywhere from $50 to $2500; the average price point in somewhere around $150-250.”  That’s not bad, but you have to consider the quality of each piece, and not just the designer name. 

The last thing you need to know about the sale, is perhaps the most important, a portion of the sale profits will be donated to  a good cause—breast cancer research.  That really makes the sale worthwhile in my humble opinion.  If you go, leave a comment and let me know what you think.
