Shop ’Til You Drop This Weekend

A trio of sample sales offers fashion and accessories galore.

With three sample sales taking place today through Sunday, your weekend warrioring will require a pair of strong elbows and a tactical plan.First base: stock up at the heavy-on-accessories Pam Ireland sale today (June 5), featuring brands such as Lauren by Ralph Lauren and Montreal-based sterling-silver specialists DSA. With the added attractions of swimwear and handbags, and a peek at gloves and outerwear for next season, this sale promises an excellent mix for all.Local sister brands Kersh and Press hang on the racks in Nordstrom, but spare yourself a cross-border jaunt and head to their own shared sample sale in Richmond on Saturday and Sunday. With Kersh’s relaxed West Coast aesthetic and Press’s clean, more minimal style, you’ll find a double-hitter of summer tops, dresses, and denims just in time for summer.Lastly, a regular fave on the sample-sale circuit, Lija opens its warehouse doors Saturday for a fresh pick of yoga, running, tennis, and golf wear—all for $15 each. (That’s up to 90 percent off, in case you needed further incentive.) Look for tanks, tees, jackets, leggings and—Vancouver Lawn Tennis & Badminton Club members take note—classic white tennis wear. Pam Ireland sample sale251-1951 Glen Dr., Vancouver:Friday, June 5, until 5pm (cash only)Kersh + Press sample sale13562 Maycrest Way, RichmondSaturday, June 6, 9-5pm; Sunday, June 7, 11-4 pm (cash only)Lija sample sale101-21320 Gordon Way, RichmondSaturday, June 6, 8am-3pm (cash, debit, credit)
