Being huge fans of sample sales, we are proud to announce that we have partnered with Sampled this week for their forthcoming get together. On Saturday 26th and 27th May, the sample sale to end all sample sales will be live and direct from Bar Music Hall in East London packed full of goodness so get hyped on what’s about to hit London this month.
Sampled is not just a bunch of clothes thrown in the corner for you to rummage through, it combines a top quality streetwear sample sale with a record fair and a solo art sale. Expect some of the best clothing brands at a fraction of shop prices, sat alongside many of the UK’s best record dealers selling crates of vinyl, DJ sets with a selection of original Soul, Jazz, Funk, Disco & Hip Hop breaks. There will also be a nail bar for the ladies set up.
Samples of the best threads are up for grabs from brands such as Stussy, Alife, Silas, Fly 53, Famous Stars & Straps, DTA, Dephect , Generic Surplus, Good Enough, Rogue Status, Expensive Taste, The Wild Ones, Any Forty, PXL, Armory, Stones Throw, & Chief Rocka. Also expect art dealers and collectives representing some of the most sought after artists in the land.
Put the weekend of 26th and 27th May in your diary for this and expect a day out with a happy ending. You can find Sampled on Facebook and Twitter who will be updating what’s being planned in the lead up to the event. Please share this for us today to spread the word and we will see you down there.
