Mackage Sample Sale Haul
This Thursday eve, I hit up the Mackage sample sale on day 1 (no VIP day this year, so sad!) and WOW. I was blown away by the enormous assortment of wools and leathers, with some furs, shearlings and accessories in the mix. I guess we can thank a super warm winter for this bounty.
Prices were "meh," if we're being honest, generally hovering at around 50% off, but as I was in dire need of a new black wool coat (my oldest Mackage is about 7 years old, and looking a bit worse for wear) and basic black gloves, I picked up the Nola, originally $630, here $360, and the Ayama gloves, originally $135, here $65.
If you're in the market for a coat, be it a trench or a great leather for spring or a new wool or puffer for next fall/winter, the sample sale runs through tomorrow at 7pm - check out all of the pertinent deets here.
This Coat. You Need It.
Make no mistakes about it, I love winter coat season. I just love it when it actually occurs in WINTER, as opposed to, oh say, AUTUMN, as was the case this weekend. That said, SNOWTOBER, or whatever the kids are calling it these days, was a lovely excuse to break out my newest cold weather acquisition, the Mackage Doreen.
Snagged at the New York sample sale this past spring for about $300, the Mackage Doreen is a gorgeously DRAMATIC double breasted long coat with a full pleated skirt detail. And while the skirt makes things lean a little girly and even evening, the high collar and built-in leather corset belt add some undeniable edge, leading a gentleman friend to declare this morning that I looked like I belonged in a the fashion version of The Matrix.
For the record, I'm hard-pressed to think of a greater comp. Shop Mackage outerwear online at www.mackage.com.
