Heads Up for the Rodarte Sample Sale

The holiday season means the ramp up for scores of sample sales in the various showrooms dotted around the Los Angeles Fashion District.

Joining in are the Rodarte sisters, whose luxury label Rodarte will be holding a kind of hush-hush sample sale on Dec. 5 somewhere in Los Angeles.

The announcement was made on the label's Instagram account. To get the details, you have to email them at info@rodarte.net and they will reveal the location. In May, when they had their last sample sale in Los Angeles, it was held at the Reserve Lofts at 409 W. Olympic Blvd.

There were tons of T-shirts, hoodies and sweaters for sale. No matter what is on the sale table, it should be good. Laura and Kate Mulleavy, who started their label in California and now hang out a lot in New York, have won gobs of awards, including the Council of Fashion Designers of America's womenswear designer of the year.
