Q: What is a Showcase sample sale?
A: A Showcase sample sale lasts from 1 to 5 days, providing our members with access to highly discounted designer items. Stock is provided directly from the luxury brands we work with. This can consist of this season’s excess, pieces from previous seasons and genuine samples/factory seconds.
Q: How do I shop at a Showcase sample sale?
A: Showcase members are able to book events and select a dedicated time slot. You will be sent a ticket via email. As Showcase offers tiered membership options, not all time slots will be available to each member. For in-store sales you must come at the start of your allotted time slot. For online sales, you must shop and checkout during your allocated time slot.
Q: Will there be fitting rooms available?
A: Yes, we offer fitting rooms for customers to try on clothes. However, please note that our fitting rooms are communal, and you may be sharing the space with other customers. Additionally, to ensure efficient use of our fitting rooms and accommodate all customers, try-on time is limited to 15 minutes. This helps us maintain a smooth shopping experience for everyone.
