GENERAL

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.

MEMBERSHIP OVERVIEW

Q: What memberships are available?

Membership tiers include General, Priority, and VIP. For more information please visit our memberships page. Priority memberships are not currently available outside the UK.

Our brand partners only give us a limited amount of stock in limited sizes. The earlier you access the sale, the wider range of products will be available for you to purchase.
