PR Log (Press Release) –
Feb 18, 2010 – Washington, DC (February 18, 2010): The District Sample Sale Foundation announces that the eighth iteration of its signature semi-annual event, the District Sample Sale, will stage Tuesday, March 16th from 6:30 –9:00pm in Georgetown, at 3336 M Street NW, Washington, DC. CityDance Early Arts, a program dedicated to providing arts education to underprivileged communities in the DC metro area, has been chosen as the Spring 2010 charity, toward which 100% of all event profits will be donated.
The public ticket on sale date is Tuesday, February 23 at 10 am. General Admission is $40 and VIP tickets are $100, and Benefactress sponsor tickets are $250. VIP and Benefactress guests, limited to 200 shoppers, will receive the coveted DSS goodie bag and will have private access from 5:30pm to 6:30pm for an hour of bonus shopping with first access to the best designer bargains.
“The VIP tickets are a hot commodity,” says Liberty Jones, one of the five District Sample Sale founders. “The ability to shop without the crowds to get first crack at the sale, and get the paperless goodies bag make the ticket price a bargain.”
Expecting 700+ attendees, the event will feature more than 20 of Washington's best designer clothing and shoe boutiques selling their favorite items at deeply discounted prices with savings up to 90%. Many boutiques will also preview new looks for the upcoming season and offer them for exclusive event prices.
The District Sample Sale will feature passed signature cocktails as well as hors d'oeuvres from participating local restaurants, a luxury-item silent auction, a raffle, goodie bag (with VIP tickets) and more. Some participating exhibitors include Ginger, Luna, Periwinkle, Sassanova, Sugar, Sherman Pickey, and Urban Chic, to name a few.
Co-Founder Jayne Sandman says, “Many online retailers offer discount designer goods, but what is unique about the DSS is the experience that we offer. People can actually try on the clothes and interact with the boutique owners as well as other shoppers. Add martinis, champagne and great music and you can't miss it!"
Participating Boutiques:
Caramel, Green and Blue, Cupcake Boutique, Daisy Too, Emily Grace, Ginger, Hysteria, Lettie Gooch, Luna, Periwinkle, Poppy & Stella, Proper Topper, Rue 14, Sangaree, Sassanova, Sherman Pickey, Sugar, Simply Soles, Urban Chic, Wink, and more to be announced.
