i was very excited when i heard about sugarhabit– the combined warehouse sale of old city boutiques sugarcube and third street habit:
as you can see in the flyer, it was an all-day warehouse sale with 50-90% off past season items at an empty space in rittenhouse. i actually made sure to go to bed at a decent hour and get there relatively early because i have been to both stores and liked the stock, especially in third street habit (which sells contemporary and a selection of vintage items). i arrived at around 11am to find this:
“warehouse sale” was meant in the figurative, not literal sense. i was hoping to show up to find a larger space. not like a barney’s warehouse sale, but still larger than what it was. a lot of the traffic were passersbys, since it was so close to the park and it was a gorgeous day out. but i wonder how many shoppers showed up at 10am when the doors opened, and what the opening selection was like. the price discrepancies of the items made me wonder if it had all been picked over already or if the deals just weren’t that great. while they did have dunderdon, a.p.c., steven alan, isabel marant, etc. a lot of what was on sale was in lager sizes. seeing as how this was one of the first of what i hope will be many more warehouse sales, it was a good start, but i hope in the future i wake up earlier.
how am i doing?
