The Secret Sample Sale

This regular sale is one of fashion's worst kept secrets, with a firm foothold in the Brick Lane sample event line-up. The weekend offers another chance to rifle through the rails and bag the odd gem from top designers like Balenciaga, Lanvin and Moschino to guarantee a cutting edge summer and fall wardrobe. With up to 90 per cent off and prices ranging from £5 to £500 there is a piece (or five) to suit everyone. Be prepared to do a lot of sifting to find the best pieces though – the sale focuses on quantity rather than quality, leaving it to you to do the editing.
